The only real difference between this type of advertising and running an ad on a website is that you can avoid the former extremely easily while actively having to block the latter if you take a single step out of federated territory. Besides, the game itself is already trademarked so yeah bit late for keeping that out.
And? The point is that it’s an ad, designed to manipulate people into thinking of ikea as being associated with fun and gaming, like it’s a fun person, and not a corporation. It’s a lie. Just because you aren’t forced to fully take part in something doesn’t make it somehow not malicious. You aren’t forced to buy a slave. Does that make it acceptable that someone sells them?

Calm down bud, it’s a mod. As much as I hate this myself, I’m quite happy it’s for people to install themselves if they want.
Ssdly, it might be the start of a new plague that’ll get pushed and normalized over the next 5 years…
