JUST upgraded to the new version of RealArcade. Yup, I also love casual games

I like the new version, actually, because it’s a lot easier to navigate. Of course, it’s obvious they also did it in order to better present ads on their site, but as long as the design is uncluttered, I don’t mind.

In fact, I saw a video ad there from Chili’s. All you need to do is watch the short clip to get a free copy of Burger Rush. So, yup, why not? This really will be the trend — online video ads and free ad-supported games. And as long as the games are good and the ads aren’t annoying, I think many of us wouldn’t mind.

By the way, while you’re there, you can also sign up for a free 30-day trial of RealArcade’s GamePass service, in case you’re interested.

How about you, what do you think of the new RealArcade? And what do you think of more free ad-supported games?

Heck, maybe in the future free ad-supported versions of even AAA console, PC and massively multiplayer online games like Halo, Grand Theft Auto and World of Warcraft franchises would become the norm.
