Ingame advertising will suck. Starcraft is based on the future. Having present day ads will remove you from the immersion of the game. I know SC isn't a full immersion game, but still....
If it's just in battle.net or whatever, then I don't care.

Just what we need - exterminating that Zerg scum in a science fiction universe while viewing Coke advertisements! Nothing could really kill immersion more (edit: you beat me to it, DS).
I can only hope they disregard the idea - or the community vehemently expresses their opposition to it.

That΄s what happens when a dev like Blizzard merges with a publisher like Activision.

No, this will likely only be on the battle.net game selection screens.
Don't worry, you won't see any Coke ads in-game. |

The idea of brokering peace between the Pepsi nebula and the Doritos invaders so everyone can have a snack is an intriguing one. Guess video games just arn't there yet.

In Rainbow 6: Vegas there are billboards in game for Axe Body Spray. Definetly not a good thing.

Why isn't that a good thing?

You can always pretend that those companies that are advertised lasted all those years in the future. In a way, its kinda adding more immersion instead of made up company advertisements in the background.

I never said that I'm against in-game advertising in general. There's a reason why it would remove the immersion in SC II and not in a game based on the superficial capitalistic city like Las Vegas where you are literally bombarded with advertisements at every inch.
