The filing points to a possible ad-supported model for PC and console games that is less disruptive than the approaches commonly used in mobile titles.
Watching an ad would earn players another block of ad-free play time, called a “credit”
I am assuming this means they are planning on adding a “free with ads” tier to Xbox Cloud Game Streaming. Which doesn’t really bother me that much if its a free tier. But if they add this to paid tiers or full games that would probably lose them a lot of goodwill that Asha seems to be pretty keen on regaining lately.
As usual, it’s going to be only for the free, or “cheaper” tier at first, then it will creep up to the other tiers. We’ve seen this happen time and again.

Then it will go full circle like Disney+ who just eliminated any tier without ads.
No amount of money will get you Disney+ without ads now.
