I have already seen ads in games. Spiderman Web of Shadows (2008) had billboards around the city that periodically changed what was showing on them. I remember advertising an energy drink, then a while later it was a pack of chewing gum.

The market has spoken and it's okay with being exploited.

Any game with ads or product placement should be a) free or b) compensate the player monetarily with every ad they see.

they've already done that before.

Burnout Paradise had a bunch of billboards around the map that were literal real world ads

I'm so glad I haven't bought an EA game in nearly 30 years.

Not that every publisher won't do this at some point.

Will other companies be crazy enough to do the same?

Pretty sure they did this already in the past, in Battlefield 2142. And I just confirmed I am not crazy

edit: also personal, unpopular opinion but if it's unobtrusive in the form of background shit then I don't really see the issue. It's kind of lazy, we all love the Sprunk and Pisswasser ads in GTA, but otherwise you expect to see *something* there and an ad, real or not, is *something* that can fit.

If it's streaming-style ads where you're getting Subway: Eat Fresh popping up on your loading screen then yeah I don't want that.

People already forgot the Obama campaign in Burnout Paradise and 17 other games, many by EA?
Or Nokia ads in Tony Hawk 2?
Or Pepsi Invaders on the Atari 2600?
