Anarchy Online. Marketing madness.

So there you are, quietly minding your own business in an online game. It's set in the distant future, and what greets you? A Motley Crue ad!
(Though I can quite believe they'll still be touring then.)

Yes, folks. The reality of a "free" MMOG, bankrolled by commercials, is here. And it ain't pretty! Just crash landed on a new world, far from Earth? You must be thirsty. Have a Sprite!

You can pay, and get a realistic environment. Or you can have your realism shattered with stupid advertisements for free.
