As I said to Frigid.. The Future Is Now. And for once, I'm not using that humorously.

Can we verify the validity of some of those images? Because I've played my ass off on GH3 and never seen an Obama ad. Unless, perhaps, that's the PC port of it, in which case I can't say one way or the other. Same for NFS: Carbon. I don't recall ever seeing an Obama ad in it. And I played the hell out of it, too. And it was released 2 years ago.

As for the Burnout: Paradise and some of the other EA games, I don't doubt it as they've verified those, plus since BF2142 they've forced their game players to be cocksucking cheap whores by spamming us with in-game advertising, making money hand over fist while still raping us for the full $60 a game. So yeah, I believe those. But as I said, I never saw any of that shit in some of those other games, which makes me wonder if someone just shopped them in to further their own point.

Preliminarily, it appears only in games that allow live ad content via Internet play, so it would not appear in games with static content.

Hmmm, which would mean the PC versions of GH3 and NFS: Carbon. Both of which would probably allow for in game adverts being force-loaded to your rig via EA's adware machine. Alright, I'll accept the pictures as factual then. I figured the blatent EA Maden, etc ones were. But didn't for Carbon and GH3. I'll retract my doubt.
