Live Ads in Video Games

From the Wall Street Journal: Videogame Ads Attempt Next Level

Advertising in videogames, dominated in the past by static ads such as billboards and signposts, is beginning to look more like TV commercials.

For the past few weeks, Massive Inc., a New York company that distributes ads in videogames, has been testing an ad with full motion and sound in a science-fiction game called Anarchy Online. Today, Massive will roll out the full-motion ad capability to advertisers generally.

It won't be long until nowhere will be safe from advertisers.
