The Failed Pacifist

Using Game Ads to Recruit Spies

One of the UK's intelligence agencies will use advertising within video games to recruit possible spies.

The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Britain's intelligence listening post, will embed the adverts as billboards in video games including "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent" in a bid to attract "computer-savvy, technologically-able, quick-thinking" recruits.
