EA hasn't produced a game I care about in years.

Thanks Kojima

Hopefully they patent whatever method they use so that nobody else is tempted to make the same stupid mistake.

Honestly I'm shocked if they haven't put ads during matchmaking and around the stadium in their sports games. I remember that being a thing in the PS360 gen

Sounds great! I’ll know exactly which products to never purchase

The last video game that had ads included that I played was Yo! Noid, or Chex Quest

Ever play the TMNT arcade game or its NES port?

Oh yay, my Sim can watch real ads in-between in-game TV shows while listening to Katy Perry in Simlish, wearing their official Diesel clothes, and putting on their MAC makeup.

Can't wait to be blasted with a stuff pack full of vintage Pepsi-Cola™ merchandise next!
