Wilson wants EA to be 'thoughtful' with how it puts ads in its games, but can that be done when ads are already interruptive?
What could help triple-A games get even bigger right now? According to EA CEO Andrew Wilson, the answer lies in ads.
During a recent earnings call Q&A, Wilson was asked by an analyst about “dynamic ad insertion” in triple-A titles as a means of revenue. While he thinks it’s “still early” for that, he noted its potential as a “meaningful driver of growth” for the publisher.
In fact, internal teams at EA are already exploring “very thoughtful [ad] implentations,” Wilson revealed. For him, the important thing is to build up communities in games, then figure out how ads are potential growth drivers.
I never even minded the product placement in NFS. It was mostly aftermarket car parts companies. It got weird in NFSU2 when they shoehorned in AT&T Cingular or whatever

Yeah I remember ads in need for speed, unless they mean, interrupting the game for ads …
That’s what they mean.
If they’re really that stupid, more people will figure out that cracked games don’t have flaws like this.
In NFS the ads/product placements never changed, I suppose they want non-static ads.
