Rogue Company Introduces the Option to Watch In-Game Ads to Earn Rewards

Developer Hi-Rez Studios’ third-person free-to-play PvP shooter Rogue Company has been out for a while, and even though it has had some decent success in terms of people playing it, the game has often made decisions that haven’t sat well with players- like this one right here.

Announced through a post on the game’s Steam forums, as part of the shooter’s year 2, Hi-Rez is implementing a feature called Simulmedia, which pretty much boils down to players watching ads in-game to earn additional reputation points. Hi-Rez Studios has attempted to assuage doubts in regards to this feature, saying that it is completely optional, and players have to opt-in by clicking a button on the game’s home screen.

“If you do not want to opt-in, you will never see an ad and your Rogue Company experience will be the same as always,” the developer adds. “We will never add forced or unskippable ads to Rogue Company.”

Each ad viewed will award the users with 75 reputation points, and the feature is currently only available on PC (not on Switch), with the game’s PS5 version getting it soon.
