Counterstrike Gets In-Game Adverts  by James W at 12:53

PC
Gamecloud has confirmed with an Engage spokesperson that adverts will be appearing in Counter-Strike.

You can add Valve's shooter Counter-Strike to the list of games that have gotten in-game advertising. This press release announces the launch of a new in-game ad provide called Engage that has already worked a deal with Subway restaurants to put in in-game ads for specific cities like San Francisco, Las Vegas and Sacramento. While the press release only states that the ads appeared in "the most popular online action game played among men 18 to 34", Gamecloud confirmed with an Engage spokesperson over the phone that the ads appeared in Counter-Strike game sessions.
