You know the trophies you can unlock playing games? Now it's the "KFC win this match" or the "Snickers win this way"

Still is that like a first? Is the WWE 2k series innovating in gaming by introducing new levels of commercial debasement?

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

I remember Fight Night Round 3 had some gross-rear end Burger King promotional stuff. You could get the King as a trainer, and I'm pretty sure doing so netted you an achievement.

Yeah that's a thing. It was at least kind of amusing to see that weird rear end mascot in a boxing ring.

Wouldn't the Burger King 360 games be another fairly recent sponsored achievement thing?

Sneak King was pretty fun.

By "fairly recent" you mean "11 years ago", right?

They were pretty neat, though. I think they were the only games to have both a 360 and Original Xbox version on the same disk!

Jesus Christ it was thst long ago?

Yes I knew it was an old example but I honestly couldn't think of anything else that was as blatant that was more recent.

I had a lot of trouble understanding why this would bother people so much. In sports games it makes perfect sense (especially if they're officially licensed professional games) because that's what you'd see in real life. UbiSoft also did it with Rainbow Six Vegas 2, which interspersed some real ads and fake ads in the expo hall areas of the game, and again it makes sense because there was a big trade show going on in said hall before all the poo poo went down. I think also one of the Battlefield games experimented with in-game ads on billboards and stuff in maps, I figure as long as it makes sense and is unobtrusive it's fine. Even Sam Fisher having a Sony Ericsson phone in some of the Splinter Cell games didn't seem too ridiculous to me (though I would imagine that a black ops agent would have the branding removed).

But of course people didn't like this stuff for whatever reason so now we have ad-based achievements, probably soon to be followed by ad-based killstreaks. "Killtrocity brought to you by Mounain Dew, coming to Halo 6".

My primary memory of WCW Mayhem is Schiavone shilling Chork.

That, and head of security Doug Dillinger being the most powerful character.
