Creativity is illogical and chaotic. Things that work for one, won't for another. Trying to find reason in it might be pointless. Getting it down to a methodology might be ideal for some, but that's because they might be more logic-oriented than emotion-oriented

> and I just realized that I was mildly exposed to in-game ads back then — in the form of product placement! (or rather brand placement?)

Well of course, ever since OutRun there is blatant product placement in most racing games: car brands
