This I fear too, but other than that I welcome it. If the money is actually used to reduce the cost of the game or otherwise improve the gaming experience In can't see what's wrong with it. Also I find it actually contributes to immersion unless you are playing Age of Empires and you get an Apple iPad add.

If it gave a game actual long term support and content then i'd be all for it.

Instead they just use it as extra revenue and give nothing in return.

Wouldn't bother me as long as it was put into the game correctly and realistically.

I was going to comment on the ads in those games, but I agree.

Any of you guys honestly think the extra revenue will either lower the game price or make the support go on longer?

I agree with you guys that if it's like a billboard in, say, BF2 and they made it fit in(ie looks sandy and stuff on Karkand), then I'd have absolutely no problem with it.

But I don't think it would lower the price of the game, or extend the support.

nope, don't believe that

But it can help indie devs gain more revenue when they need it.
