Anarchy Online has ingame ads...
Granted, the setting is a futuristic city so putting big billboards in
the game does not break immersion as such, but it still is real life
ads ingame...

Can ads for Conjurer Sanders' Kolbold Fried Cockatrice be far away?

Or perhaps they're just worried that the gamers will forget to eat. I'd
see something like this as a cute, possibly useful and non-intrusive

your subscription, go ahead.

I don't think Pizza Hut delivers where I live, though.

In their stomach, I suppose. (I always take my own drink in a closable
bottle with me. Much easier and cheaper.)
