3. Re: Adware companie and developers Oct 23, 2004, 16:20 DG
 
exactly

remembered the phrase i was looking for - ads in games should either add value or at least not reduce value of the game for the player. 'value' being marketing-speak for basically how good they think the game is. It's not exactly hard to be pessimistic though, given history of things like 'ads' in films (007 driving a BMW? the italian-american job? TVshows being an hour on SkyTV yet only 45mins on ITV/Channel4 - 30/35 if on ad-free BBC? copy protection?)

It can be a win-win-win situation if the publishers handle it right, or a lose-lose-lose if not.
