![Investors Wanted In-Game Ads. EA Just Shipped Them...
Investors wanted ads inside games. EA has now launched the platform to make that real. Most players don’t keep spending after buying the game, so publishers are looking at another customer entirely: the brands who want access to you. That can be harmless when it fits the world. It can also get grim very quickly.

![They Used AI For Crazy Taxi. Players Torched It.
AI generated content used to be a shovelware problem. Now its turning up in real, full-price AAA games, and Steams disclosure labels are the reason we can prove it. The stranger part is that a lot of the developers behind it genuinely dont understand why players feel betrayed.
