We are FloVR, an advertising platform for Unity VR games. We are currently looking for any Unity games and platforms to place advertisements. Our ad platform supports 360 video and interactive adverts within your game. For example, a pre-roll advert before your game starts will get you paid everytime someone starts your game. Same with level ups or ‘bonus rounds’. Or work with us a bit closer and integrate high paying interactive ads into your game. Imagine a first person shooter game and there is a coke bottle in the scene. Shoot the bottle and be immersed into a rewarding Coke advertisement that pays the developer one of the highest rates in the industry while also rewarding the user with free stuff for watching the ad! This is the future for VR monetization and we are at the forefront.
Please respond to this ad if you are interested in increasing the bottom line of your Unity VR app.
Every game that forces me to watch a video advertisement before I even get to play the first level gets deleted/uninstalled immediately. I’m sure I’m not alone.
Likewise if I encountered this - the example you gave - I’d uninstall the game immediately, and if I already paid for the game I would get a refund.
This seems like a great way to turn gamers away from your game.
Do you have an example application with integrated ads? Also is this only supported on mobile VR like Cardboard and Gear VR or are platforms like Oculus Rift and HTC Vive supported? We’d also be interested in advertising in China if that’s something your company has a focus on.
Lot’s of good can come from this, we can help developers make more money, offer awesome opt in interactive VR ads, and also reward users with free gifts and prizes. I mean what is wrong with that? Just saying to us this sounds like a Win / Win/ Win. But i guess i can see how some people can’t see this. … NOT
What you don’t like free drinks and snacks, and free tickets to movies. I never met a person that doesn’t like free gifts. I guess there is a first for everything.
Murigold, have you ever played any of the EA Sports games? Just take a look at all the advertisements. Doesn’t detract from the game at all and actually makes it more realistic.
I can see that people can get mad about paid desktop games having ads but its not bad with free to play stuff. Sometimes it’s better to have a free product and constantly earn some cash from those who don’t mind the ads than make a paid game and get barely no one to buy it until it’s on sale for few dollars
Anyways the original post did not go in details so in theory they could also support mobile VR which ain’t bad area either with GearVR and newest Google Daydream announcement.
Unity ads are setup with the player in mind, unobtrusive opt in and give developers the option how to incorporate into the game without forcing players to view ads - OPs words →
This is obtrusive, obnoxious forceful marketing the entire industry should discourage and reject.
Gamers dont tolerate this in a game.
Opt in ad feeds are much more acceptable and give the developer an optional funding avenue that is friendly to there user base.
Intrusive force feeding ads with gimmicky ‘free’ stuff only profits marketeers who are pushing this “dont care what your players wants/thinks” mentality into out industry.
