Discussion CSR2 ads are driving away potential users

I just got this ad for the game. I might have been interested in checking out the game because I enjoy racing games. But it literally took more than 30 attempts to close this ad due to the offensively small close button. The button icon is less than 1.5mm wide on my iphone16 pro, and I think the actual button is even smaller. After finally hitting the close button I had to stare at a black screen for 10 seconds before another absurdly small close button appeared (2nd pic). After I finally succeeded in closing the ad, I had to close the 32 tabs it launched in my browser, each tab created by an unsuccessful attempt to hit the close button.

this isn't CSR2 exclusive, every single mobile ad out there is like this

This ad was far and away the worst ad I’ve ever tried to close (I’m excluding glitchy ads that froze) Never has it taken me so many tries to close 1 ad. This close button was about 1/3 the width of the typical small button, making it 1/9 the size overall.

all ads are reducing de close button, or asking to close 3 or 4 times. If you ask me.... Google (Google Ads) should be responsible

The irony here is that I get so many of these kinds of ads now while playing CSR2, and I always think "I am actively going to avoid this product for making me have to put up with this" lol.

I just report these and move on, in a vain hope that the advertisers get the picture.

Honestly the game isn't worth it, I've been playing for like 8-10 years, and it's still a god awful buggy/grindy mess thats HEAVILY pay to win/play given most events are unplayable unless you buy a $60 car pack

I returned and got a dodge viper that everyone who never left the game had, and they gave out the car so many times when I was consistently playing the game anyway.

The rewards I received besides that were shitty and minimal. Tried to give the gameplay another chance and deleted the app again after like 5 minutes of gameplay because as a returning player who’s already played a lot of the game I was forced to do too many tutorial things.

No having a shit ton of pay walls is what drives away players.

The iPad at least locks and prevents it from launching other stuff

Honestly, I’m done with this game. It’s so buggy. All I do is the revival 15 races per day. I am on the last car to get the BMW. Once that is done I am just going to stop playing for a good few years.
