does anyone here have a problem at all with examples such as Sims including a McDonalds franchise that can be bought and developed throughout the game?
or with the games such as Grand Theft Auto being platforms for the actual release of new songs... does this piss you off, or is it an exciting development and recognition of the importance of the video game in our society?
or, on a different note... do you think the release of America´s Army, (by the American Army selling (well, not even selling, since its free) the armed forces to the youth), is a dangerous ploy, or a positive recruitment device? [/B]

This kind of stuff really bothers me - not so much the GTA example, but the other two: having McDonald's in the sim's is just a paid advertisement, nothing about the sims is realistic, and people play it to ESCAPE from reality so it's only purpse there is to advertise mcdonalds, sick.
Don't get me started on the army, I'll make too many enemies.
