In game ads break into immersive RPGs (ugh).

The (outrageous) article

Take 2, you idiots.  When playing an immersive game like Dungeon siege, you certainly don\'t want to see something like this pop up.  It\'s one thing in real-world games (signs on walls in GTA, Turismo, etc), but this is just going too far.

Lame.

Though I find most NPC conversations to be lame.

EA hops on the bandwagon.

It\'s fine for sports games, but looks like they\'re going to be throwing in updating ads into Battlefield 2042 (ugh).
