Depends on the game, mostly

Pretty much, provided it's not too intrusive. If I'm fighting a boss in Dark Souls and there's a Coca-Cola billboard in the background, we've got a problem. In a more modern, realistic setting? That's fine.

Though, that being said, the sort of publishers that consider moves like this tend not to be the sort of publishers that I sympathize with at all when they claim that they need to resort to product placement as a revenue stream. I'd rather they do something like this than the more manipulative, predatory monetization options that are around, but given how the AAA industry tends to go, they'd rather just cram both in there because they want to milk every possible cent out of their games and pass none of that success on to the people that are actually creating the products they're getting rich off of.
