Obama target gamers with in-game advertisement (Updated)

October 14, 2008 By Kunal Gangar 1 Comment


 

UPDATE: Click here on how to find that ad. Sorry PS3 gamers it doesn’t work for you’ll.

Politicians have a lot of work to do to attract different people from different walks of life. Barrack Obama for example is trying hard to lure gamers to vote for him. Check the screenshot above as he took an unconventional route by campaigning in the Xbox 360 version of Burnout Paradise.

GigaOM brings in the much needed confirmation from the communications manager of Electronic Arts. “I can confirm that the Obama campaign has paid for in-game advertising in Burnout. Like most television, radio and print outlets, we accept advertising from credible political candidates. Like political spots on the television networks, these ads do not reflect the political policies of EA or the opinions of its development teams.” said Holly Rockwood, director of corporate communications.

So how many gamers have now decided to go with Obama?
