They tried it way before 2020 too, they talked to the agency I worked for at the time. Same result
I remember them putting ads on the billboards in Battlefield 2142 way back when.
I 'member
A little thing called the "Massive Ad client" exists in NFS Carbon, Pro Street, Undercover and even World.
It was used to download ads off the internet and display them in the game's own billboards.
It was also an entrypoint for a NFS World hack too lol so ripbozo EA

They keep trying this every generation, hoping the latest generation will be dumb enough to accept it.
