In gaming, 'ads' represent a dual-natured element: as intrusive commercial breaks disrupting immersion, yet also as clever diegetic design where in-game advertisements become part of the world-building—think cyberpunk billboards or retro product placements. They symbolize modern gaming's tension between artistic purity and monetization realities. Mechanically, 'ads' can transform into gameplay hooks through reward videos or satirical commentary on consumer culture. This concept challenges designers to either seamlessly integrate ads as environmental storytelling or transparently leverage them as a sustainable model, making 'ads' a multifaceted lens through which to examine player experience, narrative authenticity, and industry economics.
