Stuck Reset Switch.
That pretty much causes the same problem that happened with the post above. Mind you that the button itself was not stuck (it popped back out like normal), but the switch remained on. That was kinda frustrating.
You have a good point, and I feel it is ultimately up to the game programmers. For example, I have played the game in the article (Anarchy Online), and I feel that the in-game ads have been implemented properly.
Concerning free gaming:
You can sign up for "1 full year free", which indicates that the advertising is helping to reduce costs to gamers. In addition, paying customers can shut off the ads.
As another point, the ads are somewhat widespread, but do not appear to hog bandwidth or be overly intrusive.
If the in-game advertisement is done well, I think it has potential.

I think they should release a blue screen edition. Oh, wait... Nevermind...
I guess this is shown not to work... 1. Send out lots of spam. 2. Get NJ doctor to write phony perscriptions. 3. ...
4. Profit!
