A couple days ago Monse pointed out the explosion of crap that occured on IGN. No, it wasn't the content, it was the McDonald's logo. There was a nifty Penny Arcade comic about it too.

Well, its happened AGAIN

    Wow. They must <i>really</i> need money. Well, I'm not surprised; it's not like anyone over clicks on banner ads (or other, more intrusive advertising media).

    EA sucks...something that is icky to be sucked...


    I repeat in accordance to the appearance of IGN:


    WHAT THE ****


    EA's hardware code looks like it was written by a twelve year old crack addict being beaten with a lead pipe while using a keyboard with 2 keys.


    I hate mcdonalds, and I hate EA. Tomarrows ads will probably be for some clothing line

    Actually, the beauty of capitalism is that IGN will soon go out of buisness because its customers will not tolerate crap like that!

    For those of you who consider yourselves informed, IGN has always been vastly in debt, and have tried many things over the years to remedy this situation. The site alone is <i>quite</i> universal and large; thus, they must advertise to keep it a free service. Possibly I'm missing the actual ad-in-quesion, but I see a simple vertical banner ad to the right showcasing EAsportsnation. Is this such a problem? Is it just so intrusive that you would shun the entire site forever? You guys hate both Gamespy <i>and</i> IGN now? Boy - aren't you folks hard to please...

    I'm sure Jammer could tell you all about the fact that money (for an excellent free website, nonetheless) doesn't grow on trees. Please think before you mindlessly bash. Make at least a small attempt to rationally think about the current state of the world and the history of IGN.

    In short, you guys are being foolish and selfish - if you mind it that much, forget about the site forever. Just don't try to drag it down - trying to think of ways to keep a site <i>barely alive</i> isn't easy, you know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This is getting ridiculous.

    I can't believe companies think crap like that works.
