Advertisemants are found pretty much everywhere, web-sites, local news-papers, the television, even movies have advertisemants about other movies and the theaters have ad's of pretty much anything as well. The reason why there's advertisemant everywhere is quite simple: It's money that goes straight to the funding and maintainance of the web-sites, news papers, tv channels, etc.

What are your views on all the ad's around? Do they annoy you? Or do you accept them as part of the -insert thing here-, because without them you'd either personally have to pay more to cover the extra costs of the -insert thing here-, or without them the -insert thing here- wouldn't even be around?

Now, take it to a (possibly) more close-to-heart topic: Games. I cannot name a single game with clear advertisemant in it, which didn't advertise itself and/or its DLC's and/or other games of the series / developer. There's no coca-cola advertisemant in Skyrim's main menu. What would be your reaction if there was one? Perhaps they should all be a bit more specific to the game, meaning, Skyrim could have travel advertisemant to New Zealand and northern Europe? Share your view and discuss the good sides and the bad sides of it.

The way I personally see ad's outside games is generally quite positive. I understand why they are there, and I have no doubt I'd put up advertisemants to maintain a web-site, should I create one.
But in games, I pay quite a bit for it, and would thus like to have it advertisemantless... (It's a word! Or if it isn't, it is now!). But what if games cost less, because they had ad's in them? The developers would get money from ad's, which especially in the case of a multiplayer game, would be a constant source of in-come, but the customers (players) wouldn't have to pay so much, thus opening up the game to a larger audience. I can understand why it wouldn't work on a single-player game quite as well. Or would it?

Discuss all things ad's here, with a slightly directed topic around ad's in games.
