California Legislator Wants Warnings On In-Game Ads
In-game advertising, we all LOVE it, but one California assemblywoman named Lori Saldana may just introduce legislation, limiting our pure, childlike enjoyment of being forcefed commercials while playing the $50 game we just paid for.
This wet blanket wants video game publishers to notify consumers before they buy a game that someone will gather marketing data and push advertising on them.
Supposedly they're concerned about kids installing malicious software and protecting our privacy rights. I think they're just looking to ruin everyone else's fun! Thanks a lot, you fascists. Guess I'll have to turn on my television if I want to be bombarded with advertising.
