This guy was on the ball.

"Game developer/publisher Ubisoft and, to a lesser extent, Microsoft are both feeling the sting of that lesson these days as the failure to purchase a URL prominently displayed in one of the Xbox's flagship titles this holiday season has turned the game into an inadvertent advertisement for a Web site featuring hard core pornography."

I bet he's pretty pissed off that they are talking about him on CNN and not even mentioning the url though.

On the ball.. ? or a dip shit.... ?

Sure he's getting heaps of traffic.. but this is xbox traffic... I'm betting 70% or more of that traffic is from 15 year old geeks.... firstly its immoral.. secondly... 15 year olds dont have credit cards to signup to adult sites.

wouldnt it be smarter to put mainstream advertising for xbox games or sumthing ?

Seems stupid to me... a whole lot of uselss traffic.

Sure, he's crooked as fuck, but most people would kill to have people even discussing your sites on major news sites.

As for credit cards, I'd bet half the people buying this game are Xbox Live users, who I believe have to use credit cards. (might be wrong though)

Or maybe he's pushing dialers.

I wonder if this would fall under the amber alert law? Probably not since the game is rated for Mature audiences.

Sell xbox upgrades and I bet he makes bank. Or the cheat book to that game. Sell something that is targeted.

I once did something similar. I think in season 1 or 2 of the Sopranos young Antony found a website called MegaMob.com which had his dads and Mafia buddies pics on.

I went and bought it and directed it to an old porn site I had, I think it only got a couple of 100 hits a month. Don't have it anymore but it's a ringtone site now
