Did you know a new Terminator film came out? If you pay attention to the “AAA” videogame market, you’d know. You couldn’t help but know.
Terminator: Dark Fate has been placing its product all over the game industry, treating a number of high profile games like stops on a press tour. The result is T-800s everywhere.
Gears 5, Mortal Kombat 11, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, all three have been plagued by little metal skeletons. More importantly, these Dark Fate promotions turn players into billboards, and those players pay for the privilege.
Let’s talk about Dark Fate, product placement, and how companies are doubling down on their marketing promotions and expecting people to pay to become living digital commercials.

It all started with Clayfighter 2: Judgement Clay.

Stop raiding my memory of almost forgotten childhood memories for content.
The colour out of space crossover with farming simulator is something I’d be happy to pay for
One of these days, Jim is going to suffocate in his costume, a death I think he’ll be perfectly content with
I honestly forgot that Terminator: Dark Fate was a thing.
“alleged comedy show The Saturday Night Live”
THANK JIM FOR JIM
This is how Skynet starts, by infecting our games first.
The lemon of 80s nostalgia has almost completely been squeezed dry
I feel like they didn’t go hard enough. Get Terminator in Smash! At least he’d be better received than Byleth.
