Yo Noid! and the like are easy to recognize for what they are and the entire point is right there. No biggy because there's nothing to degrade. I'm talking about the actual problem here. The threat is that advertising will soon become very widespread in games, as in ACTUALLY DIMINISHING THE GAME ITSELF in the process. I'm talking stuff like an Obey Your Thirst meter in the next Battlefield game. Like this:

OB1, this is just like spam, only this time it's spam you are PAYING FOR. It's a DEFECT in future games if it gets like this. We SHOULD complain about defects! You do it all the time! Why is this the ONE exception for you? What, do you plan on putting ridiculous numbers of ads in your games?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
