Burnout paradise city. Which also was one of my fav games of all time. No ads would be cool.
Comment on EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again

EA already did this. Many games had real ads on billboards in the world. Need for speed underground 2 was sponsored by cingular wireless. Your ingame pager was product placement and the company’s logo was on screen whenever you were doing free roam.
This is very EA with historical precident.

And they already do it on mobile. They are just trying to bring ads to the pc and consoles, just like they do on mobile.

Tbh, having advertisment on billboards in a racing game is the less intrusive and immersive way to do in game advertisement.
But then again billboards in real life are an eye sore. /shrug

City of Heroes tried the same basic thing back in the day. They figured it’s an urban environment that has billboards and posters as part of the general clutter, why not get paid to switch out a fake ad for a real ad?
