According to a guy that knew some other guy that is friends with a janitor at Google, the company is supposedly developing an in-game advertising program to show ads in video games. We have talked about in-game ads at length and we believe they can be done right but are Google in-game video ads going too far?
"Sources close to the matter said the company has developed an in-game advertising technology that allows it to insert video ads into games," Takahashi wrote. "In demos of the technology, a game character can introduce a video ad, saying something like, 'And now, a word from our sponsor,' before showing a short video at the end of a sequence in a game."
