This would be a service that places ads in the seconds after
your
avatar dies in a video game. I'm not sure what kind of ads
would
work here, maybe ads for suicide prevention, or for funeral
services, or maybe you could just try regular ads, although it
might associate negative feelings with
products. But in a lot of
video games there is an unnecessary pause after you die, I
think
we've been over this before here, and I think it was suggested
that the video game developers take out the pause after death,
and/or reward the player for dieing by elevating them to a
higher
level instead of punishing them. But you could also use the
negativity of the death and the artificial pause to associate
products with the feeling of frustration, which may actually be
what is addicting people to the game, sort of like flappy bird.
But
the product placement should happen associated with the
death,
so as a part of the physics of the game resulting from the death
and then fading away as life fades away from the avatar. I
guess
negative advertizing is out of the question, but that would be
probably the most powerful thing would be to associate the
brand
of your rival with the feeling of death at the end of a video
game.
Oh wait you could do negative political ads.

Yes, that might well work. Worth a try. |
