From my experiences, iOS/Android gaming is either Animal Crossing (in the sense where you have to play every day to actually progress, or you have to wait a certain amount of time) and the only reason for that is so you come back and view their ads again and again. That, or you have to pay to win/progress, which is the cancer of video gaming. We need gamers in the developer seats, not businessmen.
I approve of this under certain conditions. A) It must be free DLC, B) It should only be done in Nintendo sports games and C) I don't want to see ads on every screen.
When it comes to shameless advertising and whoring out your company, it's up to the consumer to not be brainwashed by said advertisements. You should already know what products you want/need without being told by somebody else.
