We know not what fate awaits us in this future, but since everyone will be too busy buying stuff it probably doesn't matter. It's not like the machines will rise up or anything, right?

the only reason i can see as justification for ads in games, is if the games are distributed free. ET:QW really pissed me off with the in-game ads, because you had already paid money for the game AND the servers were being hosted by third parties. It was a blatant greed move. I stopped playing ET:QW because of it, and I will be very reluctant to buy Activision games in the future.

I rarely notice the ads. Too busy watching myself get killed.

Isn't one of the goals of advertising to be subliminal?
