Same. I'm sick of being bombarded with advertising. I'd rather pay the money than listening to the same shitty ad about the same shitty product and how it's going to change my life.
I have so many adblockers on my browser that Lenin himself would be proud.

Our ad-financed service, VOID will be released on May 28th in the US and Canada, closely followed by Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
Only half an hour since the OP and they already added more countries. Also it asks to subscribe to get notified when it's available in your country so I think it's safe to assume they'll try to add even more countries to the list.

Holy crap, this for real? This seems way too good to be true. I mean, even if they're giving 30 minute ads, it'll be annoying, but still too good to be true ಠ_ಠ

Sweden? Why only one EU country and the whole of North America. Strange

I'm in the closed beta. There's certainly a selection, but the lineup is pretty much all old titles (~5-15 years). Maybe that's just for the beta, but I wouldn't expect any recent triple-A titles for the launch line-up. Currently it's stuff like Red Faction, Star Wolves, Cursed Mountain, and Abe's Oddysee. The most recent title I saw was Risen, from 2009.
Another catch is that it's ad-supported (ad in the downloader, unskippable video ad each time you launch the game). Also, you have a limited number of slots. If you download a game for free, it takes up a slot (your only slot) and is locked in for 2 weeks. After that, you can free up the slot and select another one, which in all likelihood invalidates your previous game.
You can upgrade those slots or get more of them, but both cost a decent sum of their Blue "It Ain't Money" Coins. 10k for another slot, and here's the current pricing for upgrades. (Empowered actually gives you another slot for a game in the same genre as the one in the upgraded slot, not just any game.)

Thanks for the low-down, friend. I was curious as to how this would work. Is there any ad watching mid-game ever? Or do you get that ad stuff out of the way at the beginning, in the game-load stage?

No sane man would plan on it. That system sounds pretty do-able. Thanks for the info!

Alternative for playing a demo to try out a game, I guess. I still like my games on Steam without any restrictions.

It would be great to try the unfindable games... you know, these great titles that have disappeared from every store and torrent.

Being brainwashed is nowadays a valid method of trading apparently.

Normally you'd pay for the games, but with this they let you voluntarily get brainwashed with advertisements instead.

So kinda like YouTube, or every website ever. But with that kind of attitude, you're probably a fellow adblocker.
Also, I'm feeling no urge whatsoever to take advantage of NordicBet's brand-leading online entertainment experience and amazing returns at respectable odds.

lol your brain must be a sponge if ads can brainwash you

Subliminal Messaging and advertisement clips work a lot more than you might think they do.

I've seen subliminal messages for McDonalds but I still think their food is shit and that they don't use real beef

So Gamersgate is launching a platform named Void where you can play games for free but the catch is you have to watch ads in between gameplay
Article here
Countdown until Void launch here
It's also only going to be released in Sweden, USA and Canada, doesn't that just piss you off?
Edit: A few more countries have been added since I originally made the post: Denmark, Norway and Finland
