I wouldn't care. I don't know what the hubhub is with advertising: I can always ignore it.
This, however, is a bad strategy. Most people will brush it off as another clantag.

Already happened in Starcraft... Duck Load Ra anyone?

Like the article said, this is a neat thing to have as a one-off goldenpalace esque stunt. It's a silly idea, but a funny one that shouldn't cause too much real trouble.
It being a regular occurence? Pillage and burn, my friends.

They'll get more publicity from people talking about this stunt than from gamers actually seeing and following ads.

Oh yeah, I forgot that they kinda expect the return to be low, so that means more advertising/spamming.
Still, yeah, it's not like it's as big a deal if you've never even heard of whatever they're advertising.

I was talking about the players who will sell themselves out to corporations.

Apparently, this is a new strategy.
I dunno, that sounds cool, but it also sounds like companies will try and spam online gamers for stuff.
How would you react if companies used the games you play to advertise?
EDIT: Also, does this deserve it's own thread or should I have just put this in the main TF2 thread?
