EA announced an in-game ad platform

[Kovlak]

This isn't a terrible idea, but we all know it's going to be pushed to the extreme and become awful.

I have so many feelings that can not be accurately described by words alone.

I just wanna say that I hope all of the people who suggested this idea would warm pillows for a long time.

 

[Lokgamer]

It's EA, we know that sucker. That's all I have to say.

Advertising in a game you're already paying for seems scummy. I guess it's not so surprising since it's EA.

 

[Boo Man]

cool i love random advertisements especially in video games
where do i sign up?

 

[SamanthaSamantha's icon]

Just... why?

 

[Majora Fi]

Why has God abandoned us?

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

First app to reach 0 users

Just... why?

If they can do it and it pays well, they'll do it.

 

[Frickinfrik]

Ah yes, I totally will love getting interrupted by annoying ads every few minutes while playing a game.

We did it with Ubisoft, we really need to humble EA by protesting with our wallets, let's make that app crash and burn as they crashed and burnt many studios

EA has FIFA, it is never going to be that easy. You’d be better off trying to convince parents not to buy the newest Pokemon games in protest.

Well I don't play current EA games, problem solved... (for me).

Seriously though, sounds like they wanna cover advertisement in a game's environment, making everyplace look like a sports stadium during a game.
