Comment on EA VP Urges Companies To Think About In-Game Ads During Development: ‘That’s A Huge Opportunity’
moopet@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoKind of. Like racing games where they have banners all round the track? I get that it’s “realistic”, but why should we settle for that, when games are supposed to be escapism, better than life? Having ads in games just because they’re in real life is normalising in a bad way.
The only ads I like in games are the pets-by-mail type.

Guess we can’t have real life cars then either, right?
Putting real life cars into racing games, real life athletes into sports games, etc. its only purpose is advertising. There is no other reason than advertising to include any brand logo or product from real life into a video game.
