Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:

Rooted or not: no

========================================
I'm baffled how there's no one complaining about this...
Yesterday I updated my phone to the lasted build and now whenever I take a screenshot in a game there's this friggin giant horrible watermark taking 1/4 of the picture space on the bottom left of the picture...

I've looked for every setting to disable it, but no avail, it's not possible to stop armoury crate in any way, to unistall it or remove it...
There's was no mention of this crap on the list of updates, else there's no way I'd have update the phone...
How do I turn this thing off ? or how do I rollback FW ? Don't tell me I have to throw away the phone for this stupid update...

I've seen a lot of abhorrent behaviour from software developers over the years but releasing an update that silently injects advertising into a user's personal data is one of the worst, most greedy actions I've ever encountered.

Exactly! Selfish and greedy...

I've never seen such a watermark, and still haven't seen any such thing, and I'm on the .192 update (and yes, I have Pokémon Masters listed in Armory Crate).

Correction: Turns out I was still on the .185 update when I took that screenshot, and just got the .192 update the other day. Now there is a watermark on my screenshots, too.

I came back just to also announce that I too see this watermark in my games' screenshots with no option to turn it off. Please add option to turn off

It shouldn't be an option.
It shouldn't be there, period.
I've never, ever heard of an Android phone adding watermarks to screenshots! And I've been using Android since the first Motorola Droid!
Whoever came up with this ridiculous idea should be reprimanded.

Wtf this just happened to me too. ASUS need to remove this asap.
