Ads in Titan? [Jan 23, 2012, 8:19 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A Blizzard Entertainment Job Listing for a "Franchise Development Producer" for their next-gen MMOG offers a possible insight into plans for the game, presumably the mysterious game codenamed Titan. This responsibility listed for the position suggests plans for some branding: "Work with major consumer brands to facilitate product placement and licensing within the world of Blizzard Entertainment's next-gen MMO that enhances the gameplay experience." Thanks IGN.
LOL. Well, there you go. It finally happened.
Or will happen. Bobby's strategic monetization group within Blizz has truly made its mark. The Blizzard of Olde is no more.

Hellgate London's ads weren't bad, but they fit with the game for the most part (and looked well aged).
How can ads ever enhance gameplay? Whatever Actiblizz, I'm done with you.
Oh god, I'm having flashbacks to Tabula Rasa. The whole, "we left Earth in a hurry and all we managed to grab were the DELL PRECISION XYZ MODEL M! Literally, we abandoned earth from the Dell warehouse and this is all we got!"

Credit where credit's due, they've got some great big brass balls.

Also noteworthy, with my emphasis added, "a minimum of 3 years product management, licensing, or business development experience in the entertainment or toy industries"

LOL! I know some games have ended up with product placement ads in the game, but have any of those programs amounted to much? Most of them seem to end up causing controversy more than much income. I always see the game devs saying things about how it will be positive for the game before its released, but I never see anything afterwards saying "yeah, its a good thing we had those ads or we couldn't have patched it like we did."
