Loading ...Well, it looks like ads will soon be integrated into iPhone games. In particular, a company called Greystripe, which targets makers of mobile games, has offered its services directly to iPhone developers.
iPhone Game Advertising
Plus, Jirbo, an iPhone game developer, is now reaching out to advertisers on their website, asking, "Interested in targeting the world's largest online iPhone and iPod Touch gaming community?" then prompts advertisers to e-mail them should they be interested in having their ads run "on the millions of handsets that view Jirbo content each month."
No ads are appearing yet, but considering how quickly developers can and are updating their games, we will probably see an ad or two very soon, no doubt from a Jirbo game. Greystripe offers ads that roll before, after or during games, so let's just hope nothing too intrusive or out of place--like an ad for an energy drink during a fantasy game--hits iPhone screens.

fuck that
I’ll either buy a game that I think is good, Like Remelody, or maybe get ads in a free game. It depends. I don’t wanna be flooded by ads, though…
Isn’t Jirbo that company that put spaces in front of the names of it’s games to get listed at the top of the App Store alphabetically? Sounds like something they’d do…scumbags!
Ads are for idiots! If you can’t afford a couple of dollars to buy the game, you need to get off your ass and get a job. There’s already to much advertising in this world without the bloodsuckers trying to invade EVERY facet of my leisure time extorting more money and selling me crap I don’t want or need. If I’m playing a video game I can guarantee you I am NOT shopping.
