I don't really like the idea of in-game advertisements for a company. (refering to the logos in the footprints).

It feels completely out of place in Path of Exile.

I'm sorry to be THAT guy (the one that's not happy about good news), but this quite ugly and sad in my opinion.

Feels like they're going back on their word about keeping everything in the game strictly to the lore, how you won't see anything such as dragons etc in wraeclast, including new unique having such restrictions. Then again I guess this doesn't apply to micro-transactions.

i use Razer Deathadder - very good mouse !

nice effect ! but, its huge impose advertising. so dont like!!!

Good to see you guys getting this deal :D.

Personally I think the prints look fine, won't be bothered by it at all.

Should of Partnered with SteelSeries! Better headphones at an affordable price, More promotion, My Pro/League gaming!

You guys have been on a roll and I love this game, but this a horrible choice. If we're to see more in game advertising, I'd rather this be a PAY TO PLAY game instead. Count me out...

As much as I hate to complain, because I love the game, I must say I agree with this.

Had razor gear, promptly replaced it (I have a new gadget fetish) due to poor performance.

Lore / Theme wise, maybe a 'Razor' weapon effect could have been more subtle than the footprint billboard. Several razorblades circling the weapon. It's not the logo, but it's relevant & couldn't be directly perceived as advertising.

I won't redeem it, but I'll continue to happily play & support where I can :)

Regardless of hardware allegiance wars--

I hope that the substantial amount of disapproval in this thread is enough to make GGG reconsider further deals like this in the future. Arguing that a corporate logo fits the gameworld or that the company is run by nice guys is completely beside the point.

If it's a financial concern, then it should be possible to disable in-game advertising for accounts above a certain support threshold. Something like Twitch, where you use advertising to monetize your playerbase, while allowing dedicated users to opt-out for a fee.

This really isn't the direction we were lead to believe the business model would be taking when the microtransaction system was explained as we moved toward Open Beta.
