commercials during 60 minute trials

GameHouse Forums > Support

I find it totally annoying that GameHouse runs commercials during the 60 minute trials. The trials helps me to decide if Iwant to buy a game or not. I never had to deal with this annoyance when I was with RealArcade. I also think that the Game House website is not very user friendly. I have no idea where to find how many game credits I have. It was always listed right at the top of the screen before. I am getting so annoyed with this site (I had tried Gamehose prior to deciding to join RealArcade) I will probably cancel my membership. Not a good change! You should have taken what worked nicely from RealArcade when you merged.

Where are there commercials in 60 minute trials? I never have seen any.

Not me either. Are you sure its not the free game trial button you are referring to?

The free trials don't have ads. "Today's Free Game" does, however -- that's the tradeoff for getting a full-version, non-expiring game for free.

I agree, ads don't last that long anyway.

I agree w/you on the ads (vocal, not visual). I turn down my sound but then might miss a verbal prompt or info for the game. It has just started. Not very nice.

Do you mean during DL or while playing the game?
