I am indifferent to this on community servers. Players can choose to
not play on these servers if it bothers them. It bugs me so I wouldn't
play on a server that ran them, and thus I don't run them on mine.
Where this gets particularly shady is that if this is the new official
Pinion policy, that means all of the official CS:GO servers run by
Pinion will be forcing players to sit through the ads before playing.
These are official Valve sanctioned servers that will be doing this.

If the players don't like it they won't player there. I don't see the
problem here, players get to pick where they play if they don't like
the ads they will leave. As others have already stated there are
plenty of players who don't mind watching a short ad to help pay for
server cost.
A lot of younger players don't have a way to donate money to servers
so why not let them donate in this way?

I'm sorry Pizza but I for one do not agree with your aggressive
sentiments. I may not necessarily have a large network of public
servers, but I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to the thought
that not everyone is a charity. What may not work for you doesn't
have to be the way other people do things. You can run your
servers as you see fit, as can anyone else, including people who
use Pinion ads.
If you don't like it, too bad. This is life.
Now, while it's hypocritical of me to ask that you actually get
back to contributing to the discussion, it does need to be asked.
So can you do that for us please?

If you need to run ad's in the MOTDs to keep your servers running
then just shut down your server(s). You're doing it wrong. You are
not serving the gaming community if the community isn't making
donations. I have never had any problems getting players to donate
to the cause.
Mike Vail (a.k.a. BOOM! Gaming Support [[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>] ) you must think everyone on this
list is stupid. This mailing list is not for you to pitch your ad
service. It's obviously a major failure based on the rankings of
your servers... http://www.gametracker.com/search/?query=boom%21&=GO
People play games to play games not to help you have your little
power trip. Please STOP spamming the gaming community with useless
advertisements and game hijacking MOTD's.
