If you think ads in games are okay, the thought-police already have you...

I wouldn't like this at all. Games are pretty much made for the benefit of gamers right now. Once the corporations get involved, the gamers will soon come second to the big advertising $$.

Well, they still have to keep us happy or we won't see the advertisements they spent so much money on to get implemented. So it might have a favorable effect on updates and such, but I don't like the idea from an esthetical point of view.

i'd really hate to see any ads in GW, its just not this business model, its not a completely free game and generally ads in GW would suck alot. I'm surprised so many people wouldnt care if there were ads in GW.

Just imagine the suckage - items in game referencing to real world products, billboards in towns, colored chat window messages advertising some shiit that cant be removed, additional waiting time for displaying some ads before starting observing a match or before entering a mission... maybe some company logos on npc armors or guild capes ? maybe just the login screen messed up with ads... there are lots of possibilities. And. They. All. Suck. Period.
