EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again
(www.techspot.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If they'd just be smart about it. Make the ads in-game. Like a Nike poster on a wall or a can of Pepsi on a table or something. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Making them the entire focus - however brief - just makes me hate them immeasurably.
I'm pretty sure their goal is to bring ads in the same form as the mobile games, not as part of the in-game world. If they can do it on mobile, why shouldn't they on pc or consoles?
I think this will be an important thing for gamers to unite against, because if there isn't enough push back, every big studio will do the same.
Good thing I haven't bought a game from a big name studio since, uhh, does Elden Ring count?
