StarCraft II will not have in-game ads

tekmosis | March 07, 2008 | News | PC 
During the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference being held at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, Activision CEO, Bobby Kotick had to say this about StarCraft II:

quote
because it is a short-session experience, [StarCraft II] can actually be the model for in-game advertising and sponsorship and tournament play and ladder play for the future.




According to a community manager at Blizzard for StarCraft they had this reply to Kotick's comment:

quote
We have no plans to have in-game advertising in StarCraft II. We believe Bobby was actually referring to Battle.net, which has always included ads.

    Any game you pay for can have in game ads for it. Hellgate London for example where you even pay a monthly fee, you'll still see ads.
