in-game advertising feature

[Blµb]

I don't get it...
Who the hell would pay for in-game ads?
In other words: Who the hell would look at in-game ads!?

I wouldn't mind seeing banner ads in the server lobby, that's what Starcraft does. But once I'm in the game, I want to be in an ultraviolent fantasy world. And let's face it, in game ads don't exactly work for many Nexuiz maps, which are either castles, industrial hells, or futuristic fantasy worlds. It would ruin the mood.

Well in-game ads also do not fit many other 3d shooters. Also many players use picmip while ads would have to be forced to no-picmip to look good. Do people accept such a thing? Even worse if its animated. Most 'serious' gamers (try to) disable every distraction..

I'm drawing some mock advertisements for my subway map. But thats a joke, see.
