GameTap Gets Ad Support

What better way to play games than for for free? Right? Well, according to this article from Gamasutra, your dreams may finally come true! Turner Broadcasting, the people who own the luxurious GameTap (amongst many other broadcasting type companies… *coughs*monopoly*coughs*) have decided to have GameTap ad supported, starting May 31st. What does this mean to you? Well, you can play several different GameTap subscription games for FREE! All you have to do is look at the ugly banners and ads. Awesome, huh?

GameTap hopes to capture the group of people who aren’t hardcore gamers with their ad supported gaming in hopes that they can turn these people into nerds like you and me. Video games are awesome. Don’t deny them, people, because if you do, Turner Broadcasting may just start putting subliminal messages in all of our different entertainment areas, such as TV and radio, just to get you to start playing video games. And then when you play those video games, they’ll put subliminal messages in them to make you watch tv or listen to the radio. It will be a vicious cycle, but well worth it!

So, if you didn’t want to pay the $10 for the GameTap subscription, you’ve finally won against the evil broadcasting company. They have acquiesced to your free gaming. So, why don’t ya play?
