they don't bother me much but i remember when the ad functionality
was added.
in there, you'll see reference to a timestamp file (
installstamp.dat, i believe)
for Studio, see:
Users\UserName\AppData\Local\AGKApps\TheGameCreators\Ide
and Classic:
...\AppData\Local\agk
i assume AGK/S skims that, downloads whatever graphic & news and displays News/Announcements based on the date inside.
might be worth tinkering with until we get a proper "don't show this again" tick-box/option.
maybe change the date to sometime in the future so it appears "expired" when skimmed?
add: it might not be that simple. i just changed the dates forward and backward and deleted it altogether trying to trigger the News again but "nothing". <shrugs>
...that was studio. changing/deleting on Classic DID trigger the news again which resets the file to 06/20/22 inside so, it's def related.
