[DeepEnigma]

I never see this. I think there is an option to disable these kinds of things that I did on the PS4 and it carried over.

I don't have that, maybe you accepted some sort of publicity without knowing?! Try going in your options.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Tell me more about Hoyoverse, Mr. Fox

 

[FoxMcChief]

Give in. Fortnite is better than the other games you have installed.

What's the image next to RE4?

 

[Saber]

A real important note OP.

I already knew this configuration on the dashboard settings ages ago and it doesn't really works. These ads shows in my dashboard from time to time regardless.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

With all the data these businesses farm you'd think they almost know if you did or didn't want to play something based on your game history and other such bits of data they use to push targeted ad's. Right?

Yep. I don't see those things, but I did recently load up my PS4Pro and it had a bunch junk that wasn't there before.

 

[kyliethicc]

It is a money maker, so they put it in your face.

Anyone know of a way to do this on PS5?

Edit: Never mind, it doesn't seem to be there on PS5 right? It's not on mine anyway.

Hey , I didn't know you were french (or french speaking), just disable the ads, I never had one on mine.

 

[Flutta]

I had that issue with Disney+. Not sure how many times i’ve deleted that shit

 

[lh032]

bro....sony is one of EPIC investor.
You bet they are going to force it to our mouth : D

 

[Lunarorbit]

Totally agree. It's so weird that they seemingly have no idea what games appeal to me. I've done the same thing, deleting games or saying I had no interest in them but they still advertise the same products.

Without themes it seems like having personalized ads would have been the alternative. Instead it's just annoying and obtrusive

 

[Holammer]

Sony: Our datamining & machine learning algorithms show you belong to the player demographic that plays Fortnite, don't be such a big baby and install it already.

[StueyDuck]

[Drizzlehell]

[FoxMcChief]

To be fair, Sony sees you like other FTP trash, so why not Fortnite too?

It must be because I've literally NEVER seen this happen to me from day one of my PS5.

 

[64bitmodels]

The problem is, you're a brokie. Get a PS5.

The definition of "First World Problems."

 

[Filben]

I remember when they wanted to push Ark by literally putting it under every game in the "people also bought /liked" category. From The Last of Us to Battlefield, it was, for a time, literally under every single game.

According to Netflix this Hot Island trash TV series has 98% match although I only watch Godless, Barbarians, Maniac and thrillers on Netflix.

These algorithms are trash and it's basically payed advertisement.
