"[...]the market opportunity for more dynamic ad insertion across more traditional AAA games across different formats and how you think that might be revenue opportunity over the medium to long term?[...]"

Andrew Wilson - Electronic Arts Inc. - Chairman & CEO

"To answer your question on advertising broadly, again, I think it's still early on that front. And we have looked over the course of our history to be very thoughtful about advertising in the context of our play experiences.

"But again, as we think about the many, many billions of hours spent, both playing, creating, watching and connecting and where much of that engagement happens to be on the bounds of a traditional game experience, our expectation is that advertising has an opportunity to be a meaningful driver of growth for us.

"We'll be very thoughtful as we move into that, but we have teams internally in the company right now looking at how do we do very thoughtful implementations inside of our game experiences.

"But more importantly, as we start to build community and harness the power of community beyond the bounds of our games, how do we think about advertising as a growth driver in those types of experiences?"
 
Way to treat me like scum EA. No wonder your games are trash. Who is willing to give in to this harassment?
 
Hopefully Disney will not make another exclusive deal with EA for making Star Wars Games. Don't want KOTOR remake to have ads in it...

I think adding ads to games would make most games less enjoyable.

Hopefully, the ads willl not be full screen video ads, and the ads will be somewhat interesting.

They have to throw in Disney+ ads or it wouldn't feel right.
 
Hopefully, the ads' category will be related to the game like ads for toy cars when playing an EA Need for Speed game rather than putting unrelated ads like ads for tissue paper in a car racing game can make the game less fun to play.
