RFQ: Replacing GTS signs with advertisements

Feb 17, 2009 Person link
Devs,

I'm sure youguys have already analyzed this, but could you maybe possibly hopefully fill us in a little? How hard would it be to replace the GTS holographs around stations with advertisements? That is possibly the only type of advertising that WOULDN'T drive me crazy, and it could also potentially be a good additional revenue stream. Popups waste time, banners waste space, while in-game adds kinda blend in and subliminally message you every time you pass. ;-)

This was suggested less than a month ago. Brief summary of what I remember Inc saying: They have thought about it, but don't want to take that approach atm, as it is too risky a b-model, and they have other things to deal with.

As I said before, as long as the ads are in GTS.

Make it an ingame credit-sink.

Type your ad, it gets displayed in GTS outside the station. Once approved by a guide/dev.

Stamp of Approval for Leber's idea.

May need some level of moderation - you dont wanna see F... and S... and C... words everywhere.
