Google Agrees to Buy Adscape

[Rich Tate]

It looks as though the search engine giant is branching out even further and will now try its hand at in-game advertising.

Google has made a foray into in-game advertising for video games with an agreement to acquire Adscape Media for $23 million, sources familiar with the matter said Thursday.

Considering [H] growth lately, it might be a possibility

I'm REALLY tired of all this advertising.It is getting to the point where it's rediculous. We're bombarded from waking til sleep with ads, selling this and that. It's no wonder we've become a nation of "keeping up with the Jonses" materialistic junkies, always chasing our next fix of whatever is being pushed upon us next.

I refuse to buy any game that has in-game advertising. Forget about it. I don't watch ads before movies, look at billboards, watch TV commercials, or radio ads because frankly, I think they rot the brain and turn us into drooling consumer droids. No thanks.
