    At least that feels sort of organic.

    Theres a classy (well… less sleazy) way to do it. if EA want to make the billboards in the next Need for Speed game real advertisements it wouldnt feel as bad as unskippable 30 second video advertisements before each race.

    The problem is they will do both.

      I’m pretty sure in game billboards with real ads has been done already

      And like, in sporting games having ads where the real stadiums have them isn’t a huge deal to me as long as they don’t interrupt or put focus on them.

      Though I’d prefer mock ads GTA style if you need ad space for realism purposes

        Wasn’t there ads for Obama in Burnout Paradise? An EA game, too.
