EA want to put adverts in your video games to squeeze you for every penny

EA actually has adverts in their games way back in the early 2000's.......
most notably in the EA Sports games where they had a menu option called "EA SPORTS EXTRA" or "Inside EA SPORTS" and when you selected it would play a video advertising upcoming EA Sports games...... This is the video found in 2002 games......

It looks it, and I'm really glad that they put some official photographs online!

I really wanted to do my own photos for this piece, but Amazon UK didn't have enough copies to cover their pre-orders, so I won't get mine for at least a few weeks.
I expect you to make a Fugu dish when your copy arrives.......

Quoting: mallogFor a Linux site, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this. The adverts will probably be delivered through a specific domain, which can be blocked in your firewall.
Knowing EA, they'll probably have locally-stored ads ready to go for offline use, too, hahaha!

Quoting: PenglingEven though RPGs simply aren't my thing, and my favourite RPG Maker game (2004's Yume Nikki ) is both not an RPG at all and is way too old for this project, this is really cool to see - it's always good to see a broadening of the Linux-gaming landscape.

Quoting: PenglingSpelunky (Proton) is in this Fest for £2.74. If you don't already have it, now's a really good time to pick it up for peanuts! (Honestly, this game is so endlessly replayable, I've never fully understood why it got a sequel...)

Does it have bombs or something? 🤔
She doesnt play games that dont have bombs....... Even Stardew Valley has bombs....... I think thats why she likes it so much........

Quoting: finaldestI am convinced at this point that a major crash within the games industry is just around the corner.
I believe it's already begun. It's already not hard to tell which pre-existing companies and indies will be left standing afterwards - if you look around, there are certainly some who've clearly prepared for this inevitability.
It begins......
