We should be so lucky. Plenty of games (and movies) already have ad placements. The NHL recently added fucking banner ads with motion to the boards. I can't even watch that shit anymore.
Firefox doesn't have an extension for that yet.
Fuck. Advertising.
At least that feels sort of organic.
Theres a classy (well... less sleazy) way to do it. if EA want to make the billboards in the next Need for Speed game real advertisements it wouldnt feel as bad as unskippable 30 second video advertisements before each race.
The problem is they will do both.
I'm pretty sure in game billboards with real ads has been done already
And like, in sporting games having ads where the real stadiums have them isn't a huge deal to me as long as they don't interrupt or put focus on them.
Though I'd prefer mock ads GTA style if you need ad space for realism purposes
Wasn't there ads for Obama in Burnout Paradise? An EA game, too.
We need Ai adblockers as fast as possible. They could even recognize ad banners on video feed and just cover them / fit screen with auto-generated fill based on pixels around
