Expect ads to work their way into pretty much every game as this becomes popularized. Don't expect the prices to drop, as development costs go up, ads are just swooping in to help eat some of the costs. For those that say they wont buy games with ads in it Im assuming that means you havent watched a movie in the last 10 years. Ads are everywhere, and I'd say we are pretty much used to it, chances are your brain will just filter the ingame ads out like it does when you are walking up the street or picking up your luggage from the airport. Gamemakers that care for gamers will make sure the ads are subtle, Everyone else will soon realise that games overbloated with toothpaste ads aren't worth the effort.
