In-Game Advertising coming soon.

You guys remember those Mountain Dew robots?

Yeah, chill out.

Blizzard won't do anything that effects gameplay, but I can definitely see them advertising ingame. I don't see anything wrong with it. They're getting more money from the sponsors, not the players. No reason to object to it.

[Kinderwurst]

They've already done some of this, remember Mountain Dew's Game Fuel from last summer?

Yep, just said it. People are freaking out, though.

That and the launcher has had advertising for quite some time.

Hmm..

I can picture it now:

[Dr Morako]

Its the end of the world, MAN!

Seriously: It won't be anything big/game altering/destructive.

[Heltoray]

you should be able to order food ingame! that would be so perfect

I love my mountain dew warbot I still have tons of fuel in my bank. I guess advertising in game is ok when it's in the form of a little pet that attacks other little pets?

[Panoramixe]

Hmm..

I can picture it now:

He posted an alpha picture, BAN.

But yeah I wouldn't mind if it were in the form of "fun stuff". Like the night elf mohawk and the mountain dew pet. Just imagine an item to transform the heads of all party members in a big mac, a new minor glyph to change moonkin form in a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, ...
I wouldn't mind, even enjoy it.

as long as they can blend ads ingame to suite the game enviroment, it's ok. But when they do this they must lower the montly fee too :

[Sammee]

Isn't this just legal protection for Blizzard until they can prevent the gold spammers from whispering us? Dead bodies in the shape of a URL? All in game advertising. and I report every one of them.

OT: please stop the blame Activision posts, they are run as separate companies.

"Activision and Blizzard Entertainment still exist as separate entities.[11] The holding company does not publish games under its central name and instead uses its subsidiaries to publish games, similar to how Vivendi Games operated before the merger.[12] The merger makes Activision parent company of Vivendi Games former divisions."

"While Blizzard retained its autonomy and corporate leadership, other Vivendi Games divisions did not."
