EA Looking into in-game Advertisements (God help us all)

[MajesticLion]

Exactly. Making games is expensive. If having in game advertisements help keep the costs of the games from rising and minimizes the dependence on microtransactions I'm all for it. As long as it doesn't interfere with gameplay who gives a damn.

Anyone who claims companies will forgo utilizing both to squeeze more profit is simply not being honest.

It's rather naive on their part thinking that it won't and the exact reason why the gaming industry is in the current shape that it's in.

Anyone denying that costs of producing games is crazy high is being a fan boy and living in denial. At some point something has got to give. Either they nickle and dime consumers more with more microtransactions, raise the price of games, or find some external way to general additional funding for the games with in-game advertising. Also if this leads to more games being made as there is a higher chance of them being profitable then it is overall a win for the consumers.

There's no or about it.

They'll do all three if gamers allow it to happen.

That's what that posters point is. There's no such as there as too much profit in the business world.

Or, as I pointed out, they use all of those methods and more to milk the most they possibly can out of everyone. Nobody owes them profits any more than they owe consumers games.

And the bolded is the laughable equivalent of trickle-down economics.

This been a thing in their sports games, I remember the ring in Fight Night use to be one big ass ad...

Long as they not doing an actual commercial break while I’m playing the game I don’t care

Don’t think that won’t eventually happen
