Gamers may have noticed the increased emphasis game companies are placing on in-game advertising. Games like Battlefield 2142 include a disclaimer that reads:
“By installing and using this software, you agree to: the transfer of advertising data to servers located outside of your country of residence, the collection and use of advertising data, [and] the delivery of advertising and marketing content.”
