Remember how Far Cry 2 was supposed to have a rotating product placement system that would update via patches?
As far as I can remember nobody ever signed on beyond Jeep.

Saints row 2 had ads like that, same for 2142

I'm personally not a fan of adverts in my game unless they're like Akiba's trip where it's a bunch of small businesses that were added to give it the authentic feel.

I wonder who thought it was a great idea to market your computer parts store between where you douse a group of your own guys in white phosphorus in the parking lot, and visiting a mass grave in a nearby ball diamond.

Is that homefront? I remember the product placement for some gun better than anything else from it. You'd find the gun fucking everywhere.
Game's so forgettable that that's the only thing I even remember about it though.

I miss them, they always make the game feel more alive and connected to the real world.

Having like Pepsi or Dr.Peper or Pizza Hut or something in it...

Like in Overwatch D.va is a Starcraft progamer that turns into a Mecha pilot and after that shes still sponsored by Blizzard

We need more shit like that.

The GOAT coming through

>>339912247

Apparently the ad company that made the in game advertising technology and licensed it out for all those EA games was owned by Microsoft who shut it down soon after because it didn't make any money. MS owns the patents for in game advertising. That's why it never got used again (Even in Microsoft's own games).

Don't mind these at all. Extra money for the game budget, at zero cost for me.
As long as they don't add it to fantasy games and such, its fine.

There are atill a bunch of ads in FM/ FIFA, though. Of course not the only example but the first modern game that comed to mind.
