So MMO Champion is now auto playing ingame cinematics from 8.0 and 8.1
Granted most Ive seen already, but if this is a continuing thing, its going to just force this on people
Add an opt-out option or somthing

don't they typically have a "spoiler" thing you and I can click on that pops it up?
OHHHHH i see what you mean now. Yeah that's.... odd.

weird part, cant close it, I try to click on the X and it goes through to the ad behind it (currently an ad for the PS4 version of PUBG)
Yeah can we have an option to turn these off? the banners and header ads i get but i dont need pages to load slower because they are trying to rerun a WoW cutscene on every single new page the site loads.
It seems to be an ad for DistroScale, no idea what that is, and it won't stay paused unless you pause it during an ad.
It is SOO goddamn annoying having these cinematics popup like an add on every goddamn page. Jesus christ.
Microsoft Edge 42.17134.1.0
if I use Chrome, while I can click the X to close it, it still reopens anytime I change page
Okay, I'll try and get these issues fixed. Thanks for the reports!
I don't get it. No autoplay here unless it is due to AdBlocker?
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Seconding this - I don't understand who this feature is meant to benefit, especially since there's no way to actually engage with the cinematics in question (e.g. comments). Even with it only popping up on the main news page now, it's super irritating to have to close the popup every single time that I visit the site or navigate back to the news page from the forums. I frequently browse MMO-C from connections with slower download speeds, and these cinematics just impede the page load obnoxiously.
I know this is a bit of a necrobump, but I was about to make a duplicate topic and I figured this was the lesser of two forum etiquette evils.
WOWhead does this too it seems, even through adblock XP
Oh, definitely. As far as I've been keeping track, the popup loads in every single time that I open the main page (https://www.mmo-champion.com/content/). And it loads ads (thankfully muted) in between the cinematics. There's a "Cinematics" segment nested randomly in between the news posts on the front page, and the popup opens in the corner any time the segment in question is offscreen.
Here's a link to a couple screen captures of what I'm talking about specifically: https://imgur.com/a/PZmH9DE
