"No details on what future Gearbox titles will use in-game ads. Sometimes we wish the in-game ad deals were as outlandish as our Photoshop jobs. Imagine if Borderlands was renamed Burgerlands and featured a dozen Burger King soldiers playing "Capture the Whopper" with futuristic guns and war machines. Or Aliens: Colonies could let you take heartburn medicine to ward off chest-bursters."


No joking, really... I will pay for a game like that.

We need Japanese ads in US games and US ads in Japanese games, so that it will be exciting and fresh.

And would be for used schoolgirls' panties or umbrella helmets or some equally effed up nonsense.

Actually, that might be kind of amusing, all told.

The Japanese trailer for Bangai-O Spirits should be looped in every game's loading screen, it would be a pleasing form of advertisements... also ridiculously hilarious.

Maybe they could release some games while they're on a roll. Wasn't Hell's Highway originally supposed to come out in Holiday 2006?

The only way in game ads would be a good thing is if all your enemies are some kind of product or ad and it's your job to put them down......permanently.

On a random note: I know Burger King made some ad-games, but isn't that fundamentally different from having ads in games? Why is Burger King symbolic for ad in games then?

Because they did it first, I guess (this gen, anyway). Kinda like how "horse armor" can be used to describe any piece of expensive/worthless DLC content.

Speaking of burger king, why havent they made anymore games? Did they make too much money the first time or what? Those little games were shockingly successful and sold more than any other games being released at the time.

Gearbox should have been the talking window.
