Fun fact, Euro Truck Simulator 2 has mods which adds billboards with regional ads. Players are voluntarily downloading mods which adds ads for more emersion. The default ads were not enough. It helps that the dev, SCS Software, is not a dickhead and has supported the game for more than a decade with good DLCs with virtually no problems.
