If your thinking about downloading 2142, you probably should read this first. http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=504219 . Apparently BF 2142 ships with Ad-ware/Spy-ware of sorts. Makes you wonder what EA is thinking.

it helps pay for the game. i mean like, the textures, the physics and graphics engine and the online component are exactly the same, but without advertising do you really think EA/dice could almost break even selling this for the price of a normal game

I say BF2 but I have not played 2142 yet so I may change my mind.

Yes. Do you realise that the gaming industry makes more money these days than the motion picture industry?

Maybe EA is not so bad.

EA's Response

Here is EA's statement:

"The advertising program in Battlefield 2142 does not access any files which are not directly related to the game. It does not capture personal data such as cookies, accountlogin detail, or surfing history.

BF 2142 delivers ads by region. The advertising system uses a player's IP address to determine the region of the player, assisting to serve the appropriate ads by region and language. For instance, a player in Paris might be presented with ads in French. The information collected will not berepurposed for other uses.

Battlefield 2142 also tracks "impression data" related to in-game advertisements: location of a billboard in the game, brand advertised, duration of advertisement impression, etc. This information is used to help advertisers qualify the reach of a given advertisement."


But still more invasive then I would like.

This advertising thing is the future of videogames, I'm afraid. It's the developer's way to cash in a few extra bucks. I just wonder how will they explain putting them in fantasy / medieval themed games!
