I just relized that you guys are using some wack company name for super lude and glue and that that minigame. Why not get some company to give you money to put there name in place? Instead of AGP corp, maybe M3 or whatever that compasny's called.

I asked the devs to put up banners to help pay off some of the bandwidth, but unfortunately the revenue created by such banners is very insignificant, if any at all. From my understanding most of these ad agencies only offer money if you click on the ad banners anyway, and I think that most ad scripts are even smart enough to find someone repeatedly clicking a banner to falsely dump money into someone's lap. In other words the chances of seeing advertisements is pretty slim. Although I would like to see some more in-game banners with some humor tossed in.

i am strongly against any advertisement in the game we will be PAYING for. i see enough bullshit everywhere else.
web popups and banners are complete rip offs and major annoyances as well. they never make money to webmaster unless you are porn site or something else equally popular.

Anybody notice the 'Dole' over every banana in super monkey ball? I bet that was a costly deal...

Yah it was. It was somewhere in the millions I think. Also this payed off for Sega at the same time because for a little while, instead of Dole stickers on there banana's there was a Super Monkey Ball sticker.

we won't do that, Lemming...

randomize, obviously there won't be ads in the final version. I was talking about paying off any expenses on the tiny budget they have NOW.

Arolte, since ads are purchased for exposure and current active players never goes above 40 I don't think anyone would be interested in purchasing ads in vendetta or vendetta website
