Topic: Unlock achievements, receive ads

So you can get like coupons and shit when you unlock an achievement in a video game. I think that's pretty brilliant, actually. What say you?

I wonder how well it will work? Will the discounts be decent?

The example given was a free cheeseburger, which I'd be down with

Indeed. I'd imagine they'd have to start cutting down on the number of achievements you can get in a game, or just limit the amount that gives you coupons. Like, Team Fortress 2 has 369 achievements and a lot of them are really easy to get

This seems to easy to hack. Merely report back that you have unlocked the achievement and receive a coupon.

Easier achievements would probably just net smaller discounts.
