I remember the days when games were 30 dollars, had a couch co-op mode, and a full single player campaign made by a team of just a few people.
Now we require in-game ads to sustain the development cost of the games? Somethings wrong with AAA if that's the case.
I don't think there's any claim that it's to sustain the dev costs. This is a "dear shareholders, prep your cocks for a tuggin' " pitch.
I'd expect more paid ads in the likes of Madden and not-FIFA.
Oh you can bet madden is gonna be littered with sports betting app ads
