Despite a recent multi-year partnership between
Massive Inc and
Activision/
Blizzard, the in-game advertising firm will not be adding in-game advertising to our favorite games.
"Massive understands and respects our stance against advertising that might detract from gameplay or offend our players," stated Blizzard COO Paul Sams.
As this story has circulated throughout the last two days, many players got worried that they would soon see Coke ads in Northrend or a Ford banner on
Guitar Hero, but that's just not the case. Massive Inc's focus with Activision and Blizzard will mostly be web-based ads and the Battle.net service, as they team up with video game advertising representation company
Intergi to manage these ads. So as the websites will get more annoying, our in-game space is safe... for now.
