BruceVC Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/11/frontier-developments-to-potentially-introduce-dynamic-in-game-advertisements#disqus_thread The Game may incorporate technology (which may be provided by Frontier or third party service providers engaged by Frontier (each a "Dynamic Advertising Provider")) which enables advertising to be uploaded into the Game on your PC, and changed while the Game is being played on-line. In order that the Dynamic Advertising Provider is able to direct advertising appropriate to your Game and geographic region, as well as to the correct location within the computer game, certain non-personally identifiable data and information may be retrieved and retained by the Dynamic Advertising Provider including your I.P. address, geographic location, in-game position, and information concerning the appearance of advertising visible during your gameplay (for example, the length of time an item of advertising was visible, the dimensions of the advertisements). In addition, the Dynamic Advertising Provider may assign a unique identification number which is stored on your PC and which is used to monitor and calculate the number of views of dynamic advertising during gameplay. None of the information collected for this purpose including the identification number can be used to identify you. Slippery slope. Sheesh, I've passed games for lesser reasons. Can I ask a question, why do you guys honestly care if some software knows you IP address or region you live in? What are you worried about, do you see this as invasion of your privacy?

Keyrock Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Can I ask a question, why do you guys honestly care if some software knows you IP address or region you live in? What are you worried about, do you see this as invasion of your privacy? Like I wrote, slippery slope. It may be fairly innocuous now, but they'll keep pushing it just a little bit further, a little bit further, a little bit further, all nice and gradual like so that most people either don't notice or put up with it because it's not so different than before.

Guest Slinky Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Sheesh, I've passed games for lesser reasons. Can I ask a question, why do you guys honestly care if some software knows you IP address or region you live in? What are you worried about, do you see this as invasion of your privacy? It's not that, if a game has any online component in they are going to know the players IP and region anyway. It's the ads. One of the very last things I want to see in my games are ads of coca cola or any other crap like that, no matter how subtle it is. So I'll vote "no" for ads in games by not buying a game that have them. Just turn off your adblock in your internet browser to see what happens when you let that monster in.

Bester Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I'd say right now we're 10 years away from when we have to have to pay additional money in order not to see ads in games. And we're 50 years from when we have to pay money not to display ads on our walls in our own house. I'll probably live long enough to see this ****.

Amentep Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Get a wall size flat screen tv and you can have ads on your wall now. 3 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Labadal Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Most interesting game shown at the Microsoft conference was Ori and the Blind Forest. I think they had a good conference even if nothing that was shown of the AAA stuff interests me personally. But as a company, focusing to sell much as possible, it seems to me that they did good.
