Wipeout HD Loading Ads Scrapped After Uproar

Posted by Soulskill on from the vox-populi-vox-dei dept.

RobotsDinner writes "After Monday's story about intrusive, loading-screen ads being retroactively added to the PSN racing title Wipeout HD, the popular uproar has indeed succeeded in getting Sony to pull them. You can put your pitchforks down; your voice has been heard! A Sony spokesman said, 'The ad has been removed from Wipeout HD and we are investigating the situation to ensure that any in-game advertising does not affect gameplay.'"

    Sadly all the uproar did was make me realize that I had missed out on the expansion that came out (I bought it) :( sorry internet.

    Now that would release an outroar. Imagine The Sims 4 using product logos instead of pixelating sprites to cover That Which Is Not There^W^W^W^W^Wgenitalia.
