I don't mind it unless it actually interferes with playing the game. I want developers to make more money so they can keep making games. Gaming is now cheaper than it's ever been, amazing though that sounds, so I can't really blame them. I'm not going to complain about things that do not hurt me.

Didn't burnout paradise have advertisements on billboards? But these are terrible



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

We paid for the game. This is as obnoxious as the advertisements on physical comics.

Nothing wrong with promoting your other projects.

Do people think of the "what's new" app on PS3 as "ad"?

You can easily avoid it and turn it off.

Do the ads impact the game? If no, I don't care.

The only type of ads that really bother me are video ads you're forced to watch like Hulu or Youtube.

But don't you think this is the first step? EA is just testing the waters to see if anyone cares and if no one cares, next step will be to put ads on their other ips followed by ads that are just annoying like one of those shitty video ads and what not!! We have to stop b4 this takes off cause if EA gets away with it, then other publishers are gonna do this too! Just think of all the flashy "here is an asian hot chick that you will never be able to bang cause shes photoshopped but click here anyway" ads that are gonna clutter every game!!!

If it's only the loading screen and if it will.help developers to stay alive I don't really care. I'm pretty sure we will see more like that in the future since it doesn't seem as if these games can grow even more but costs grow more and more.

The “I don't accept increasing game prices, I dont accept advertisement, I don't accept DLC and whatever else“ attitude won't work forever for gamers.
