Normally, Gear doesn't run just any ad which had Sonic in it (or there'd be waaaay too many to post) but this one is a little unusual. The general public would most likely never see it. This is a "Congratulatory Ad" which is usually only seen in trade publications / industry / insider publications which only go out to companies or workers. The ad uses Heroes graphics (look at giant ghostly Tails amongst the squares) & says "Congratulations to Sonicteam on another great game powered by renderware" and then gives the renderware website at the bottom. This had has several benefits. First, it advertises a Sonic game FOR Sonicteam, then, it advertises Renderware while simultaneously making Renderware look really generous /polite /happy over what they have done / been used to create. So, everyone here benefits when such an ad is placed.
