Maybe it's for events etc. We're already paying to play. I doubt they'd add singles ads into the game.

Why should a paying member have to endure advertising? I can see using it for the two weekers..but come on.

I think Scotch is right -- perhaps for advertising special events.  That would be excellent.

The Readme says "marketing", not "advertising".  While the Wikipedia definition of "Marketing" is the biggest collection of hot air I've ever seen, I gather, somewhat, that "marketing" refers to trying to determine your customers wants and needs so as to profitably serve them.  (Whereas "advertising" is trying to change the customer to fit the company's needs.)  So, maybe, it refers to polls?  But then they already had the ability to conduct polls in-game.

Maybe as you are plummeting towards the ground a billboard appears in-game saying "Would you like to buy another wing?  Only an extra $5.  Act now before you hit the ground."  :)

I can't wait for the 5 Perk option. You know where they "PAY" you five perks to watch a 30 second advertisment. :x

Red Bull logos on the wings, heavily patched flight suits, LL Bean branded into the sheep, Tom Cruise will make a movie about it. It's a sad day, the end is near, run for the hills.

:D

I thought it was going to be an easier means of finding out about and understanding the sort of deals they made with the FA guys.

Technically marketing includes anything that enables the sale of a product or service to a customer which, among other things, could include branding, product development, distribution strategies, advertising, merchandising, sales, customer service and much much more.
