EA Signs Agreement
to Offer Dynamic In-Game Advertising on Xbox 360 and PC and
EA Signs Agreement
to Bring In-Game Dynamic Advertising to Select Titles describes more plans
to insert advertisements into video games, as EA has signed deals with IGA and
Massive for in-game ads. Interestingly, one of the titles to get this treatment
will be Battlefield 2142, which is not only set on the battlefield but well over
100 years in the future, bringing into question how these ads will live up to
the "realistic" part of this description:
The initial EA title to
incorporate dynamic in-game advertising via IGA is Battlefield 2142(TM),
developed by DICE in Stockholm, Sweden. Fans of the franchise will see new,
realistic brand presence integrated into contextually relevant game environments
across the platforms and across the geographies where they play. At least two
additional EA titles will offer dynamic ad serving capabilities through the
course of the agreement with IGA.
