Noted.
They are in with other 'fake' ads for Tasty Treats and Abe Wanted posters scrolling past, they're never on their own or stationary, never take up more than a certain percentage of the screen estate and are always in secret areas, but I get your point.
Really, we thought people would really dig the way they'd been implemented and would really get why we did it the way we did, but I guess we read that wrong with the feedback from some.

No, what it is, is that people are just getting real fucking arsey over some tiny detail that appears in the game for seconds, in fact I didn't even know what the ads were for until somebody pointed out that they were other indie titles. It really don't bother me, they adverts are subtle and blend into the background well. This whole thing about Oddworld being against selling out and al this crap, well, no, Oddworld is about the little guy triumphing, and JAW and OWI are simply using a successful series to help give other indie developers a little bit of help with some free promotion.
Some people just need to grow the fuck up, seriously, would removing the adverts really make the game play any better?
Just think if you were an indie developer, already on a tight budget, if a developer of a game that anticipated to be a hot seller approached you and said, hey, would you like to advertise your game inside ours free of charge? You wouldn't say no would you!? It's free promotion!
