    whoops, one of our developers slipped on a banana peel and accidentally hit all the right keys, over the course of a couple of hours, to accidentally implement ads in the game

      You see our intern was walking down the corridor with laptop in his hands after the meeting and he stumbled and accidentally coded in ads, designed format, shaders, online service for serving ads, database for storage and deployment scripts. What are the odds?

      Ubisoft says it was trying to put an ad for Assassin’s Creed Mirage in the main menu of other Assassin’s Creed games. However, a “technical error” caused the promotion to show up on in-game menus instead.

      There’s nothing accidental (or “accidental”) about the ad being in the game. Probably was an accident that it appeared mid-game, they need to desensitise you to ads in the menus first.
