If in-game ads become the norm, I guess I could either not play games anymore, or I could take my ship out onto the ocean.
There are more “lol fuck you” choices than there are “pretty please let me be bombarded with bullshit” options here.
People are already paying for ads in games. Look at American/European truck simulator where you pay to have Goodyear or whatever other company on your rig.
If they do it tastefully… like a coke can in a cafeteria which would make it more realistic than a generic brand - it could work.
They’ve been doing this in movies for decades.
If it’s shit like pop ups or little red notification dots, they can go fuck themselves with a rusty screwdriver.
my ship sails the ocean because of shit like this for a while now. these people dont deserve money to nickel and dime us.
EA Ads, they’re in the game!
Oh no! If only there were thousands of other games I could play instead
Companies used to do this, but stopped when every game reviewer called them out on it. It was always in kinda shitty games too. You can rest assured that EA is fully capable of making shitty games with ads in them.
I don’t mind it if it makes sense. Driving around in GTA if there’s a gap billboard I don’t care. I don’t want banner ads in the equipment menu though
GTA is filled with parody ads, which are actually fun content and not intended to make you buy something. The second they become real ads, you’ll have brands complaining about being displayed next to gun violence or prostitutes, and all the fun goes away.
There’s a reason there’s no real car brands in GTA, because none of them want to be associated with running down pedestrian and drive-bys
How about when they inevitably share user data with advertisers (assuming that isn’t the plan from the start)?
Loved the ones in Burnout Paradise. It had billboards for CompUSA. Which had liquidated almost all their stores shortly before the game released.
I will continue to not play EA games. Business as usual.
I’ll be very thoughtful about avoiding EA games.
To be fair, AAA games are bullshit anyways. I believe I have never seen a modern AAA game that is not utter shit with EVERYONE complaining about it.
God of war Ragnarok is a AAA game, and I absolutely loved it.
There, not everyone complains about all modern AAA games. Just in case you actually thought EVERYONE dislikes them, you might be in an echo chamber.
EA: “If you want no ads, please buy our AAAA games”
The game better be free. I’m not paying to see ads. No chance. I’ll find a copy on the high seas that has that bullshit removed.
Let’s add EA to the list of companies I’m boycotting.
Oh? What a coincidence; it was already there.
EA is really pushing for their products to be pirated at this point like no one will put up with ads on their 60 bucks triple a game
AAA: Acquire An Advertisement
Don’t buy EA! Easy solution.
They been doing that with Need for Speed for decades. Surprised they didn’t spread it to the rest of the company earlier.
Their sports franchises have similar in-game ads matching the real world in how they are presented in the stadiums.
That is thoughtful and people didn’t complain… They now want to shove in your ass and make you suck verification dick whle at it to ensure 100% engagement
And even more I see no reason to pay for their products. If they’re going to be getting ad revenue then I’m sure as shit not giving you any more upfront. Bunch o’ double-dipping twatmuffins
