Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games
SangersSequence@lemmy.world 10 months agoI’m not entirely sure I agree. If the game is set in our world, an advertisement for a fake brand of a real product is, to me at least, more immersion breaking than it being a real brand for that product. Now if the game isn’t set in our world it’s a completely different story.

The thing though is that the real advertisement will remind you that you paid money to watch a commercial, and that’s where the immersion breaking happens.
With a fake ad you know you didn’t pay real money to some other real human being somewhere else, and that your purchase went just for the recreational value of the game you’re playing.
