Jonathan Stringfield, vice president and general manager of Xbox Media Solutions, told GamesBeat at GamesBeat Next on November 3 that there is no intention for ads to be an option in all games, or even on all console features, and that studios will get discretion over whether to use them. He framed advertising as a possible alternative to dramatically higher game prices, saying that if the current model continues, the industry must either raise prices or 'find other mechanisms to allow access.' GamesBeat reports he said advertising is 'at no point' compulsory and that ads could help game makers subsidize cloud gaming.
