Fast Food Ads

[unmerged(48605)]

I want Pizza and Fast Foods ads to occasionally pop up and remind us to eat as we devote hours to playing this game! In fact, there can be a link to directly order from the website! :rofl: No sense in one of us passing out because we failed to nourish our bodies! Plus think of all the ad money Paradox will get to better develop the game!

No.

I'd gladly create an events pack for any anorexic members of the community who wish for this.

I like ice cream

On an ever so slightly more serious note... would Paradox ever consider such selfless ploys if they were going under?? Like... advertise in-game to make money? With things like Spotify, etc... it seems like this is becoming 'the norm' (i.e. make money through advertisement as opposed to sales figures?).

I'd like ads, propaganda poster and news articles from the time itself. Should be one newspaper with snazzy pictures and descriptions of your conquests.

 

[unmerged(131989)]

Ahh! Not a bad idea! Perhaps when historic events occur there could be actual headlines from that day, for instance?? Would be quite a nice touch, and I imagine some of the big stories would be realtively easy to access??

Maybe a popup every 24 hours that reminds you to eat something and a popup every 12 hours to remind us to drink something to survive while being addicted to the game. :rofl:

Seconding everything

"You have been playing for far too long and are so bad at this game we are locking you out for 3 hours so you can catch up on homework. Good day"

Baldurs Gate 2 had load screens having usefuls hints. One of them was a warning not to neglect ones food supply.

"While your character doesn't need to eat, remember that you do. We don't want to lose any dedicated players."

IIRC, the Obama campaign even put ads in some commercial game.

football manager has similar messages like reminding you to change your underwear

Master of Orion 3 (a really horrible game by the way) had a ingame alarm clock, you can set it to a specific time and a popup reminds you that it is time to go to sleep or time for work.
It would be utterly unnecessary, but could reduce these moments in which you realize that the sudden light in your room is actually sunrise.

Civilization 4 and Civ 4 Colonization have a similar feature and believe me it is necessary. If I am enjoying these games, sunlight isn't registered by me. And sometimes it can't even get in my room anyway.

You mean like:

"Elefant Tank Destroyer - because Porche sport cars can go even with 10cm of front armor!"

or

"Winterfresh - fresh like Winter 1941!"

or even

"Patton drinks only Classic Coke!"

In-game ads are dangerous the same way product placement is for movies: it allows the company that advertises a say in the content of the game - and however minor, it's something to be avoided.
