10 worst cases of product placement in games

Some say product placements are done in the name of realism. Others say they serve as a quick-and-easy moneygrab for publishers. Regardless of your stance, those that sloppily shove a product where it doesn’t belong manage to turn any immersive game into an infomercial of Michael Bay proportions, with a heaping helping of annoyance - at no additional charge.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie430d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie430d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

Sega's Classics Are About To Return, And I Can't Be More Excited

Amidst the thrilling TGA 2023, Sega landed with a bang, bringing not one, not two, but five classics, including Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio.

Fist4achin528d ago

Sega rocks and I'm excited that these classics are getting attention. Bring it on! Sega!

Yi-Long528d ago

I’m just happy that some suits at Sega have finally woken up to realize they have literal gold in their library well worth bringing back to a modern audience.

I’m hoping they can also bring back Virtua Tennis (doesn’t need licenses), Sega Rally, etc.

Fist4achin528d ago

I'm right there with you. Now I just need more time to play all that I want to play. My backlog is killing me.
