I found out today that the recing video game “Burnout” has billboards with “Voting Early Has Begun voteforchange.com” With Obama’s mug pasted on them.
Good demographic marketing as we all know that artists,musicians, creative types like gamers usually lean left, something to do with the shoes I think. These people tend to think spacially and thus see greater community and peace around the earth than those who wish to dominate it alone.
ES has also stated that he ads will ONLY appear in games for XBOX until election day and will only be shown in 10 most contested states (Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Colorado, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, and Wisconsin).
I assume that, since they have an ability to target state and specific run dates, that this only refers to online gaming.
uh oh, targeted marketing WITHIN a video game!
EA has said McCain has not bought ‘real estate’ in their game “but there’s still three weeks until the election”.
XBox is designed to sell to an up to 30 demographic.
With paid gaming experiences, does this mean tah PC games will be free soon? Nope. Long live torrents on that one.
Perhaps new PC’s will be available with a card that allows for ad free gaming too.
