THQ Brings Advertising to Video Games

December 19th, 2005 ^Lestat Leave a comment Go to comments

From gameindustry.biz :

Developers are able to integrate real-world ad campaigns that are timely, and enhance the game environment with more realism. Twenty-nine premier game publishers have committed more than 100 titles to the Massive Network.

I’m not a huge gamer by any means, and I don’t know how everyone feels about this. If I’m going to pay $30-$50 for a game I most certainly do NOT want to view advertisements. Thats one of the reasons the games are bought!

I don’t think this is a way to bring the game industry out of a slump by any means.

Thoughts?

    Lestat,

    I am glad you stopped by my blog. I am also very glad you recognized the pattern starting as far as getting off track with your life prioirties.

    Looks like you are in software developemnt, as I am. This is an industry that wants more, faster, more complex, more convulted and 100% perfect! A ludicrous cry from a misguided industry.

    Thanks for your comments.

    Eric
