Ad Viewing Required For Free Zune HD Games 131
UnknowingFool writes "In releasing the Zune HD, Microsoft decided not to open up software development on the new Zune to third parties yet. Today, Microsoft released a handful of free games for the Zune HD: Texas hold 'em, Sudoku, Space Battle 3, Shell Game, Of the Future, Hexic, Goo Splat and Chess, as well as calculator and weather apps. Users, however, are required to view an ad (up to 30 seconds in length) while the game starts up. While ad-supported free games are also on other platforms, like the iPhone, the difference here is that those iPhone games are from third parties and not from Apple."

Maybe I spend too much time on the wrong kind of websites, but I don't even want to know what that game is about!

There is no way any company can so consistently get things just a bit wrong every single time.
You got to wonder what the hell the person who came up with this was thinking.
Dev1: "Well we can't do squirting again."
Dev2: "And brown has be done too."
Dev3: "I know, we give them ADDS for crappy games that we offered for free with every windows version and are available everywhere for free!
Dev1 and Dev2: "Wow! They don't call you Dev3 for nothing!"
