EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again
techspot.com
EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in reviews. It wasn't long before the backlash led to EA disabling the ads.

They tried it way before 2020 too, they talked to the agency I worked for at the time. Same result
I remember them putting ads on the billboards in Battlefield 2142 way back when.
I 'member
A little thing called the "Massive Ad client" exists in NFS Carbon, Pro Street, Undercover and even World.
It was used to download ads off the internet and display them in the game's own billboards.
It was also an entrypoint for a NFS World hack too lol so ripbozo EA
They tried it before 2020 as well.
They keep trying this every generation, hoping the latest generation will be dumb enough to accept it.
