Hello all, with the pending demise of Unity Webplayer (so it seems), I am curious to know if there are any In-Game Ad Supported Solutions for Desktop Games.
I have earned a good living in the past year or so from my Google Ad Sense Revenue for Browser Games, but now with the Death of NPAPI plugins, I won’t be able to earn revenue in the same way I use to on the Browser Platform. So I am currently being forced to Publish my next game to Desktop Platform.
I am not a big fan of Micro-Transactions, and trying to Monetize my games that way… I much prefer Ad Supported Games, and if say a Player does not want to See Ads anymore they can make a Donation and Remove the Ads.
But the only problem is I can’t seem to find any Companies offer in-game Ad Service for Desktop Published Game, Only for Mobile Game!
Does anyone know of any In Game Ad Service that works with Desktop Published Games?
Please do let me know if you do, would really appreciate the tip.
Thanks

It should works in all platforms including web. I never used it but it’s pretty famous.
thanks, but they don’t have a Unity SDK = (
I think its very rare to have ads in a desktop game and personally I haven’t played any that has em even tho I have played many F2P. Most players would not probably like em at all and if you want to offer em an option to remove ads then its basically the same as a micro transaction? You would then still need to have some payment system so why not take full advantage of it?

This sdk seem plain HTML, just fire a WWW request from Unity and use some plugin that can parse HTML or write your own.
Don’t know much about webplayer maybe you can already use HTML.
you’r probably right, i may not have a choice in that case and may need to go with some micro-transaction stuff like buying cosmetics or something… bla…
I just always liked the idea of earning revenue from Ads because I felt it’s a much more guaranteed source of revenue for your work, as even if people didn’t click on an ad you still get some pennies for impression, but those pennies add up lol! and i’ve earned a good living from Google Adsense alone in the past year, and im sad that’s not possible anymore because Google decided they want to pull support for NPAPI Plugins.
I’d much rather focus on improving my game instead of having to figure out how to properly integrate a micro-economy to earn revenue from, just something i’m not to crazy about. But it seems like the future… although i’m a kind of person that likes to go against the grain lol…
we’ll see… i’ll see what other options i have
thanks! i’ll check that out! = )
