Yeah, like 15 years ago they wanted to add live updates to which ads are present and targetted ads iirc. At least for FIFA.
They had a live update system for Burnout Paradise and whatever the latest Battlefield was back then which allowed them to change the ads displayed on in-game billboards, some of which were Obama's campaign ads.
EA has really been at the "forefront" here though, I remember when they put a Rexona ad in the pause menu of one of the late 90s FIFA games.
