I don't mind it if it makes sense. Driving around in GTA if there's a gap billboard I don't care. I don't want banner ads in the equipment menu though
GTA is filled with parody ads, which are actually fun content and not intended to make you buy something. The second they become real ads, you'll have brands complaining about being displayed next to gun violence or prostitutes, and all the fun goes away.
There's a reason there's no real car brands in GTA, because none of them want to be associated with running down pedestrian and drive-bys
How about when they inevitably share user data with advertisers (assuming that isn't the plan from the start)?
