after making my post on the user modding forum i tough to my self if in game advertisment would be that bad? I personally like in game ads, I like always cathcing a glimpse of that billboard to my left.

maybe devs can use this as something that can fund them, aka having server providers buy ad space that is then put in by the mappers. or having clans advertise.

EA wouldn't allow them to make money off of the advertisement seeing as they mod the game for free. In-game advertising as a whole isnt that bad, except when they start tracking how much you long you look at it etc, and as long as its not in like big bold shiny letters. Aka, as long as it blends in with the surroundings.

TG made the maps, and while making the map they put some reskined billboards in to advertise TG. EA prohibits mods making any sort of profit.
