EA strikes deal with Microsoft's Massive for in-game advertising

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 09/01/2006 09:52 AM [ Print | 4 comment(s) ] · 864 views

Advertising in video games, with a few exceptions, is rather subtle today and often perceived as a tool to increase the realism of the game experience. Get ready for even more reality down the road: Electronic Arts (EA) will use Massive's network to grow its advertising revenues in its games.

It wont be long before you are playing your fav game and suddenly it stops every 20 mins for a 3 minute advertising stint.... Just like on Sky.

I've said for a long time that EA needs boycotting until they fall into line with what the customer wants. They are taking more and more liberties.

EA is already on my boycott list.
Do a search for "EA spouse" and you'll find out what kind of company they are.

Hopefully they release "fixes" to remove the junk. If the ads are stylish like the big ones you see in cities or newspapers, it's ok. But if they are junk like in TV/Internet... duh.
