Valve Settles Subway Advertising Issue

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the angry-subs dept.

Gamasutra reports that Valve and IGA have settled their legal issues in the wake of the Subway advertising issue. From the article: "The joint statement explains 'an amicable resolution of differences regarding in-game advertising in Counter-Strike', which 'also absolves IGA's advertisers and IGA's advertising agencies from any liability', but does not specifically mention whether IGA will be permitted to run similar campaigns in the future."

    Not only do you pay through the nose for a game that you don't even get to own, but they throw ads at you inside the game as well?

    Glad I didn't buy HL2. I was going to wait for it to reach the $10 bargain bin and check it out, but now I think I will pass on that too. If my presence in the game makes them money, they can go fuck themselves if they think I am going to pay a dime for that "experience." HL2 should be a free download if they're advertising in the game.
