Nope, but then i don't do live TV and i go out of my way to avoid averts on the net.
Ive had browser pop up adds, youtube adds, adds on twitch, ect.
Was getting them after clearing my history, cookies and such too, and on a friends PC
Seems to be all internet based marketing with the occasional poster in a game shop.
one of the biggest reasons why WoW was so successful was the TV slotted ads.
I guess many will remember the likes of VanDan and mini me.
This hit the child audience who probably make up a significant number of their player base.
Seems to me if they want to get the same coverage like WoW, and there by justify a monthly sub which will persist beyond 12 months, they really need to have TV slotted ads, but what will the player base want?
do the more mature gamer want to be surrounded by whining children.
It's a mature game, so they can't really advertise to children, regulations in the UK are a bit fickle, but I'm not sure if mature rated games are allowed to advertise on TV before the watershed?
I'm pretty sure the first commercial for WOW came out for TBC but I don't recall any pre-launch easily fact check but its pre work coffee time for me anywho WOW's success did not come from its commercials it came from its huge bnet fanbase.
I could dig an advertisment for ESO where Liam Neeson is talking into a headset in a dark room, calmly rattling off some passive-aggresive dialogue.
Then you see the in-game footage of his Nightblade character ambushing someone.
(camera angle where you can see the screen and keyboard glowing in-front of him to show he's playing) "Converge" he says.
His guild comes /sneaking over a hill.
In-game camera zooms out to show they are approaching a castle.
