Put ads in my games and I’ll stop playing your games. Simple as. Plenty of indies out there are more deserving of my time.

    Indies, romhacks, fangames, recompilations, mods, etc can extend the life of any game nowadays.

    I remember feeling bad about how the original PvZ was absolutely wasted on EA, who made sequels that are just mobile slop. Relatively recently I found out that a huge community exists to make more of the good stuff and it’s legitimately overwhelming how much community stuff there exists for this one game alone.

    The other obvious example is Minecraft which for me has basically just been a platform for individual mod packs that are basically their own games. And of course, Skyrim. I’ll get back to that one day.


    Am I turning into those people I used to see all over forums when I was a kid talking about games from the 90s that didn’t seem that compelling to me?

    There was Prototype, which experimented with in game ads a while back. They sold ads on the billboards in NYC in the game. They seemed less obtrusive

    Football manager have always had "let's kick racism out of football" and other NGOs represented on their banners - Because they had no clue what to do with it, I'm pretty sure there's a settings option to replace them with real paid ads now
