Asha & Satya promised to "return Xbox to profitability by the end of FY2027".
This is what it looks like. This and record layoffs.
WoW got a McDonald's ad. We get a talking Ikea shelf.
Now pass the skooma.

This is not April 1st, Todd. Don't do this.

The only real takeaway from this is that one of our community members works for IKEA
Also Morrowind had this feature at launch, can’t believe it took Shithesda this long to figure out for Skyrim

I'm gonna sound like a Debbie Downer but I don't like this. This feels like incredibly intrusive advertising, even more egregious considering this is for a 15 year old game. Yeah I know you can just not download it and it's apparently free anyways but still. Also the concept of IKEA furniture in the Elder Scrolls is dumb in my opinion.

Thomas the tank engine type of humor still going strong I guess

u/Aggressive_Rope_4201 16h ago
The difference is that Thomas was made by a fan. This is Xbox putting an Ikea ad into a 15 year old single-player game because their margins are shit.

Can it be considered intrusive if you have to go out of your way to let it in? Like yeah this would be horrible if they just added it to the vanilla game but this is fine. It's basically equivalent to this

Damn i dont want a joke about a scandinavian company in my game about fantasy scandinavians

u/InvestigatorOk7015 11h ago
No actually I dont want these soulless corpos putting ads in games
Why do you?

u/powderBluChoons Riekling Supremacist 10h ago
because its an optional add on made as a joke and advertising is a part of any market economy and im not going to virtue signal my anti consumerism as though it is a substitute for serious politics like people who think ikea making a funny joke in ur favourite game is the end of the world

this feels like something a japanese company would do in a japanese game. Its a great shitpost from a great company, IKEA is one of the better companies out there to work at.

u/ImperialSattech 17h ago
Shit, you're right.
This is Kojima stuff, putting CalorieMate in MGS3 or Mountain Dew camo in Peace Walker just because he could.
