I don’t mind ads on ingame billboards like how old Need For Speed games had like, Old Spice or Gillette or Cingular Wireless ads. Or some of the buildings in the game had branding on them like a Beat Buy building. As long as it fits into the world setting I don’t consider those ontrusive or obstructive to the experience. For example, I would expect there to be none of those kinds of ads in a game like Skyrim since it is a fantasy setting and those kinds of settings never have ads for anything other than market booth signs on the market tent or something.
However, those are the only kind of ad I am okay with. Fullscreen popups and big boxes that take up space eon menu screens is a huge problem.
I predict EA will not return to the former style I mentioned and will likely only attempt the latter again with disastrous results.

I don’t mind ads in EA games, mostly because I will never play them.

A lot of people are having a lot of issues with video games these days, and I experience almost none of that pain, because I (generally) stick to indie titles. These days games have never been better, but publishers have never been worse.

Exactly. It’s even easier for me to put their games on an Ignore List than for them to insert ads.
