A Rockstar Editor series based on the console war - SideArc

I think we can all agree that the console wars are a ridiculous thing. A bunch of guys on the internet fighting over plastic boxes. So this author decided to up the stakes, make the console wars worth fighting over in GTA V. The series aims to parody the console wars...

That's hilarious because he did and said the same thing with 2K Marin who developed Bioshock 2

They've been closed since 2013 but not officially acknowledged

He just doesn't want the backlash so pretends there's no issue.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
