Imagine the absolutely massive grave they would have themselves if we were still in the golden age of console gaming, I hope not any more than now

Thanks Kojima

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

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

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

Bro... Most of these "software" patents are a joke... Aka lets patent the best practice so other guy has to work around it but can't really stop that anyway

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

I just want my ea stock to rise so I can finally sell that garbage... What a waste of money that was

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

You could sell it anyways then buy something else that might have a better chance of rising. No guarantee that it will work out, but also no guarantee that EA stock will ever get to the point you're hoping it will. Thinking you need to hold it until you get your money back is literally the sunk cost fallacy.

And I just looked at their stock right now, if you bought it right at the all time peak, you're only down about 15% right now.

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!
