… and you thought the whole “Ford F-150″ being driven by everyone in the show “24″ was bad!
It’s not that this is a new thing, but apparently, it’s going to go mainstream, as a bunch of companies have signed on to have their name plastered “tastefully” inside games. I’m sure it will be the same as, say, movie or TV product placement, but I wonder if, like the advertisement shown in the Joystiq blog entry, if it will ever go down like that. Everything else is commercialized, I guess this was the final video game straw.
