There are many MMORPG games here that have advertising in them.
Good thing is, they're absolutely FREE! Without adverts, you might have to pay for online games, but with adverts, you get to lay without paying a single cent!

Yeah but EA is having the cake and eating it too. They get ads in their games and maintain the same price.

soon we will have to 'click to skip ad' on every loading screen, like pretty much every game site on the web. Hell, It's already there in BF2 when you login. Personally I can't wait to be told to buy Orange contracts or crappy ringtones or super mario sister brothers 8, because my ability to consume selectively is broken and only EA can fix it.
or...
not.

Not in game advertising but i just came across some out of game advertising...
Remember fear combat? Well when i was signing up to join it my email addy wouldnt fit in the box, luckily, so i made a new gmail account just for that. At the bottom of the registration page it says "I understand that my information will not be shared outside of Sierra." O' ****in rly?
Today i was misled (thats a whole other story) into believing i would need a valid email to get a key for some other software, so i decided to use the fear account which i havent used for anything else.. 171 spam emails are in my inbox. So it looks like sierra are:
a) big fat liars
and
b) getting rich selling our emails to spammers
Gotta be careful about giving out your address for software...
