Broadcast building ads on Desktop

The broadcast building is now up and running again on desktop. Ads will now be viewable in-game and will not have a cooldown. Note that on desktop there is less ad inventory, so it's still handy to have the game on your phone if you want to get more views each day.

3D matches now hidden by default

3D match view controls have been disabled by default for new users signing up to the game. To enable, go to settings > debug > enable 3d match view controls. This is to make it even more obvious this is a work-in-progress, and to provide a more professional experience across the board for new users.
