No harm in asking, nw:

The first one that comes to mind is Fortnite, it has been used for advertising Halo and Star Wars, at least I think those were sponsors veiled as simple crossovers but I'm sure they're not the only sponsors/crossovers.

Though, mostly I was refering to almost every live-service game as of late, if you count "please check out the shop and buy these new skins" as advertisements. They're not being paid by third parties to deliver them, but they sure were as annoying as TV ads when I experienced them...
The latest example I can think of is Sea Of Thieves, where I still haven't fully figured out how menus work because sometimes half of the screen points you to some kind of shop.

I wish all games were free of commercials...

Lunacid, great lil' game until you decide to try and get all the achievements.

Ending spoilersThe one thing I don't really like is how all of the world building is more or less inavlidated by the classic "it's just a dream bro".
Yes, the dreamer is supposedly an eldritch being, but I'd like to appreciate all the tiny little lore connections you can find without the looming threat of "this doesn't make sense because it's all a dream".

Like with skeletons.
Why skeletons?
All enemies in the game have some sort of explaination, from the simple "this is a fog beast" to "holy knights cursed themselves and became abominable horses, tainting vampire cattle and turning their captors into the puddle of harm that currently stands in your way".

But skeletons?
They don't have any explaination, unlike the mummies of the Temple of Silence - they're just nondescript undead enemies where undead enemies thematically fit. The dreamer put them there, because it's a dream.

Probably better than pineapple

True, however - as I replied to a similar remark - the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct

"Latte" is milk, "Caffè latte" is coffee with milk

Yeah, I posted it first on Reddit on r/ProgrammerHumor and saw it reposted on r/196 (got way more upvotes there), then I reposted it here myself when Reddit did the Reddit and I moved here.

Tbf it is a good meme...

I didn't think it would be reposted so many times when I made it *^*

Definitely not something I made for r/ProgrammerHumor before it got reposted on r/196
