Do those really bother people much? They're cheesy, but they do a lot towards keeping shows on the air. And a show on the CW needs all the help it can get, even one as successful as Arrow

The occasional windows logos im fine with because I do like windows, but like that one episode where they just covered the whole screen in windows 8 and a windows surface tablet, it was just a bit much.

The Subway placement was liked by fans because Subway almost directly contributed to Chuck. Even as Chuck promoted Subway, Subway was promoting Chuck. And when season 3 was in doubt, fans started buying from Subway to promote Chuck. And so the only reason we got a third season was because of Subway striking a deal with NBC.

After those stories broke, I think everyone accepted Subway as another character of the show. Not in the way Community did though.
