GameSPY doing the advertising for Playboy

[8602081]

I couldn't believe that the Gamespy Client version is doing advertising for Playboy. I'm thinking that most of the gamers are around 13-16..

It seems not right to do that kind of advertising.

If you don't know what GameSpy is, it's a server search program for all the internet games.

They probably need the money. Anyway, you don't have to click the AD.

Errrm, he meant that PLAYBOY is advertising on GAMESPY.

I sure as hell don't want a half naked girl on a banner ad when my mom walks in. You know how they are...

I don't use it, so I'll feel free to laugh here.


LOL!

1. The majority of gamers are 18-36

2. Gamespy needs all the money it can get. It pays the bills.

I don't blame them(same goes for people using large ads or popups), they need to pay their bills, even though ad revenue wasn't/isn't their only source of income, it was the vast majority of it. And was is the correct term, because ad rates even for large sites are extremely little.
