Then I will probably not get the game until I see someone I know playing it or recommending it to me. I literally do not care how cool or interesting your product is, if you make it block what I wanted to see or keep me from the content I actually asked for, you will generate a negative impression on me that will be very difficult to fix.

I actually said as much to an indie game developer who wrote a similar reply. I am a musician, and this is the approach I took to promoting my work back when it was fresh. I'm fine living in obscurity if it means that my music isn't just some ad.

This has also happened a few times already in my actual life. IMO, the onus is on the content creator to promote their product in a way that is palatable. You are not owed my consumption.

I have already discussed a few unobtrusive and opt-in ways to promote your work to interested parties.

I actually do block all advertisements and yet I still get games and music crammed into my content hole. We can do without ads.
