    I've just been looking at the Bakerloo screen shots, and noticed that some adverts have been rendered on the back wall in the stations, and got to thinking that there might be a market for genuine, payed for adverts in the game.

    Real ads would add to the immersion and realism, and there might be an income stream in it for DTG.

    Just a thought....

    IIRC this was planned by EA/Kuju in the original 2007 Rail Simulator (before it became TS Classic) but was dropped after community backlash, I suspect that'll still be the case.

    Apparently, according to the support team it’s perfectly acceptable to call somebody a loser in this forum now. I must say I’m very disappointed about that. DTG Protagonist what are your thoughts on that, as I thought you were doing a good job getting rid of this kind of behaviour. Can people call each other names now as long as they say it is a joke?

    EDIT - for clarity the response I got was as follows...

    Unfortunately, your recent report has been rejected: Post in thread 'Dynamic Adverts' - It's not a personal attack, it's a joke.

    It’s an interesting idea. Non-invasive product placement could be a supplementary revenue stream. The ads would have to be limited to the ad boards though, no pop ups or anything that the advertisers might want them to do.

    They could also be used to promote new DLC when coming soon etc.

    Bit harsh towards someone expressing an opinion.

    Within the context of the thread it is very clearly meant in jest. I rejected your report because it was evidently a joke that had been misinterpreted - given that in your prior post you were very obviously against the idea, the response was just as obviously not meant to be taken at face value.

    There is a thin line here folks, between clamping down on any lightheartedness in this forum, and a draconian level of moderation. If you want to retain more room to maneuver in your posts, to have some fun, then you'll need to just relax ever so slightly. Be aware both of context and intent when opting to complain about another user please.

    On topic: there is no intent to embed advertising in the game currently. Pitchforks down. I'll let you know if that changes, and you can pick your pitchforks back up again.

    Fair enough, but I think calling someone a loser is a step too far, even if meant as a joke.
