Though meant to help promote the tech company's noise cancelling headphones, the ad instead reinforces the stereotype that women--who make up 48% of all gamers, by the way--simply can't stop talking.
Accompanied by the caption "Don't let yapping get in the way of your winning," the ad (first noticed by PC Gamer) depicts a man and woman sitting on a...

Two 15-second commercials for the Switch 2 were found, both unlisted on the Nintendo of America YouTube channel, and one includes a brief glimpse of a boss fight that we haven't seen before.
