It is plan to see that Funcom and EIDOS had to figure out how to get ingame advertising into the game.  It also makes me wonder how far long the M$ version of the game has come along as well.

If I am wrong about DF, I will apologize ^_^!

Per'aps they think the players will be too busy decapitating and looking at topless girls to notice the ads?

A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

If you pay a monthly sub for a game it's DOWNRIGHT STUPID for them to put ads in there.

Ads belong in F2P games

Lol well that's my 2 cents anyways

I have no problem with the ingame advertising...

It is the part about giving my user name, name, email address, address, phone number, etc to the advertiser that pisses me off just because I accept the EULA.

That is a really low blow and invasion of privacy.

I should start reading games' EULAs more carefully...but it's like a wall of text...ahh my eyes...

Agree with you Shannia.
