I Would Like Your Opinions Please. Would People Be Ok With In Game Advertising?

This same thought crossed my mind when thinking about Cityscape tilesets and the possibilities of adds showing up on billboards in them. I wondered how funny it would be to have said ads be ads for ACTUAL things.

 

I think if DE could work them in like that ^ written up in the Corpus language and posted where it would make SENSE for them to be posted (tv commercials on the tileset, billboards, electronic signs) it could make them a little money without much expense as player enjoyment - heck, maybe even increase player enjoyment by creating something so lively.

yeah OP, i don't mind. It's just a 10 minutes photoshop. lol

I made that so people can understand what you mean. it's just sad seeing people bashing you, but didn't read or understand your 1st post.

i kinda neutral on this ads on loading stuff. i just don't understand people why people saying "NO!" because they hate their own imagination about ads on warframe. lol

One thing for sure, i believe DE is a good company. Sure, they screw up sometimes. But if one day ads ever exist in warframe, i believe DE will not make us players suffer because of it, coz' they love this game as much as we do. :)

Who ever you are and what ever company you want to get your advertisement in this game the answer is NO. GO. AWAY.

 

PS. Someone close this or send a warning or ban this account it may not belong to its original owner!

Most of these odd post of 'asking the community for the opinion on advertise or lockboxes' are third-grade f2p party companies hunters... and if your not affiliated with them then please STOP asking for such thing, you clearly haven't seen how BAD the F2P MMO industry is plaguing great games to the ground...with their...advertise or lockboxes or whatever third world of advertising they "think" sells good.

Pretty drastic and uncalled for response dont ya think?

Yah know, I'd be totally okay with it if they found a way to make the ad fit into the world without breaking immersion. 

 

However..... once suits realize this is an additional revenue stream that would help them buy that 5th mansion they want in the Caymen Islands, they'll see as nothing more than a checkbox to tick in soulless yearly sequal #324.  Such ads won't be creative and fit into the game seamlessly.

 

It'll happen eventually I'm sure (probably the next generation or two I'm thinking - there was a time people said free games would never work) - but I'm satisfied it hasn't become widespread yet.... I'm not looking forward to seeing mindless adds in the mainstream game.

While most are thinking about the ads in the corner or being forced to watch videos, my mind kept thinking about how NASCAR does it. Imagine getting free skins for the liset or your Tenno that makes you look like a walking billboard. Yes, many would not want to see that, but the thought of a liset with a Viagra or Geico or even Cheerios on the front of it makes me laugh a bit.

Plus, I remember reading on another site about a D&D type game that took place in a giant Wallmart. think of the possible raids where we run through a derelict ship that is a large store. Gotta get them discount deals on resources. XD

Absolutely not, not in a billion years, the immersion-breaking factor would be HUGE.  I would absolutely definitely, definitively stop playing Warframe if that happened.

 

I play it to escape from the everyday world, not be reminded of it.

 

Such a thing might be ok in a game with a modern-day setting (like maybe TSW), but not in a future s-f setting, no way.

ads intruding into mah game? open the armory! assemble the trebuchets! to war! to war!

 

however I wouldn't mind fake ads for organizations in the game, similar to what you see everywhere in mass-effect's citadel-but you only get to see them in relays.

Having Darvo signs pop up occasionally in Corpus tilesets with actual info on his current sale in the Relay would be useful and entertaining... Plus the puns.

I personally don't mind either way. Warframe isn't exactly sucking me into their world, like say Mass Effect, Witcher, and/or Elder Scrolls. If its more money for them to support the game, then I'd be ok with it, I'd expect in-game purchases to be a bit cheaper, but that's it. They wouldn't even need to lower the grind for me, as I'm ok with the grind.

I mean its FTP, it's really hard to be FTP and DE has done a great job so far. I'd even watch a 1 time commercial on startup. Really just depends on how they'd do it..

No that would be awful

 

 

Darvo ads, Baro ads, Corpus recruitment videos and Grineer propaganda would all be pretty good if it showed up in game.

 

that would be pretty good

and when a new corpus or grineer weapon gets released into the market the ad could show up

As well as just everyday mundane ads for stuff like Corpus Crunch (Taste the Profit!), Tenn-O's (Part of a balanced breakfast!), OroKola (Refreshment from the Void!), or the Graineer bakery (100% cloned grains!).
