EA wants to place ads in full-price games, again
www.techspot.com
Speaking during the company's latest earnings briefing, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in-game advertising could become a "meaningful driver of growth" for the firm.

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during ‘Replay’ moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in reviews. It wasn’t long before the backlash led to EA disabling the ads.

    Can everyone stop buying their games so they can die already? Devs please leave and start non-orphan crushing jobs.

      Social communities like Lemmy aren’t their target demographic. Mostly, it’s our job to ignore them until they buy a studio we actually like.
