    I don't see what the big deal is. In real life people wear shirts with logo's and people aren't bothered by it. In real life there are billboards that advertise things and posters doing the same. So why not in a video game, many do strive to be like the real world so I see no problem with it. Unless, it is in like a game like demon souls or something it would just be out of place.

    It also allows the company to make more profit of the game to produce better games down the road.

      Yeah, I'm with you here. Seems we're a minority though. Although some games take it way too far. Like in Fight Night Round 3, where you could hire the (Burger) King as a trainer. That's ridiculous, but yeah I think having a Pepsi vending machine is better than some made up brand.

      "Advertising can be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it."

      There's already too many ads.
