not enough made up data, iyam its the cornerstone of any good thesis. how else can you prove outrageous longshot assumptions correct and empirically confirm your genius?

This is actually a pretty significant conclusion O_O

In both cases, this was due to them agreeing significantly more with the statements that brand name products were okay as long as they fit into the game environment and that ads make the games more realistic and immersive. For console gamers, I guess this could be because they tend to play a lot of sports/racing games, but I'm still not sure about mobile gamers.

SoLaR makes a very good point that I hadn't even thought about: it's harder for ads in console and mobile games to really be annoying.

What maps were these? I'm interested now. :O

The 2006 Pringles MSL had them. You can see an example here at around 3:10.

By the way Cow. Would you mind if I used some of the data you got in your survey in my own work? (I'm writing about online games in general, not about ads, I'd just like to see how much your survey - and the data acquired - would resemble one that I'll have to do one day)

Go ahead! Keep in mind that this data is just for people play at least once a week though, you'd probably see a few different tendencies if you surveyed a general gaming population.
