Holysock, there are other ways to promote other indies, and yes, my reaction is passionate because this series is very close to me. The idea of the original Abe's Oddysee having in-game ads for other PS1 games is unbearable to me. It was a game that was good enough to be thoroughly enjoyed far past the relevancy of any advertisement it could have possibly had. You've got to think of the long-term impact of that kind of decision.
Aside from all of that, this game doesn't take place on Earth. This breaks immersion and generally lowers the experience.
