Name: Quake Live Platform: PC The adverts are placed on billboards in-game. This technique means that players are completely undisturbed by the advertising, although they will still see it (specifically, when their character dies and they're look...

Lewis Marenghi replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'In-Game Advertising'
As other people have already said, I don't mind advertising as long as it does not detract from the gameplay. The best use of advertising I have seen would have to be in sports games. There are advertisements on signs around football pitches and ...

Peter Bloomfield replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'In-Game Advertising'
A few examples I can think of: * "Battlefield 2142" -- fairly subtle up-to-date billboard adverts for movies in-game. Nicely done. * "CSI: Hard Evidence" -- product placement in a realistic setting; moderately noticeable, but in a sense almost a...

Ross Drew replied to Martin Smith's discussion 'In-Game Advertising'
If it doesn't interrupt gameplay I'm fine with it. During long loading screens is fine, in fact welcome; rather than watching a progress bar some new adverts are more interesting. I'm not a big fan of how Lemonade Tycoon on the iPhone does it, jus...

You know my view on this already ... The only advertising I don't object to in games is anything that can't easily be ignored, after all that's what advertising is for :). I used to play an MMORPG Anarchy Online that had video billboards advertis...

Hi Martin. John tells me you're something of an expert on the marketing side of video games. I'm trying to gather evidence for a report on the lack of marketing effort by games companies as far as older people (i.e. over-50's) are concerned. I'm having trouble finding info on the web and wondered if you'd be able (and willing) to give me any pointers to help in my quest?

Martin, I was speaking to John today about an MMORPG that i am designing, to help with costs i am thinking of adding adverts to the game. I have seen adverts in some free MMORPGs before with adverts but the adverts in those games where very irritating and i do not wish to annoy gamers with them. Any chance you could give me some help?
