I do not watch the ad, but I resent greatly it being put there in the
first place.
There was a thread a couple weeks back on the hlds list regarding
community servers doing this in TF2. While I don't agree with their
decision to use ads on their servers I can at least understand their
reason for doing so. Running a community costs a lot of money and ads
help them pay these costs.
This to me is a different situation. Pinion is not trying to run a
community. They've undoubtedly bought their status as official servers
from Valve, and now they're going to use that status to churn out
advertising revenue from players who don't know any better being
siphoned into their servers by the matchmaking.

If the official Valve sanctioned experience is one in which you're
forced to watch a Pinion ad every time you want to play a game why
exactly does this game have a price tag attached to it?
Splitting up the matchmaking into official and community pools is
already salt in the eye to those of us trying to run communities.
But letting an advertising agency run official servers held above
all of our community servers is shady as fuck for a game that
you're charging money for.
