Uh…Advertisment? Don’t look like it at all!

For people browsing through websites that depends on ads for survival, some of us would come across ads for games, products and other websites. Some of them eye-catching, the others, a waste of time. But usually, only game ads are worth wasting time on just to glance on them.

But then again, some of them took it to a whole new level, one that simply spell “WTF”

Oh, and picture explain today’s topic.

Read more inside as to what this is all about.

It’s alright for all kinds of ads to be catchy just to draw in attention, I mean…That’s what they are for, right? But recently, these forms of image advertising have gotten really weird, and I do mean it. There are many free online games out there, be they browser or software based. And they all need money to function.

And these games can’t depend on advertising other things to survive. Instead, they advertise themselves in hope of drawing in more players that are willing to cash in on the games itself. For today’s example, I am going to use the browser game, Evony as an example.

Ooooo, interesting…

Evony ads started out as being normal, and show what the game is about. Well, at least for it’s first image advertisement. The second onwards all show ladies, and each increasingly more cleavage. Until recently, they decided to advertise their game as if it was some kind of weird sex game that can only be played in secret.

I mean, it’s okay to control the weak, foolish male side to play this game and actually pay for it. But do they have no shame? Also, I demand otakuseveryone to actually use this as a source of argument against those feminist in America. The Japanese are innocent, it’s the Americans themselves that are corrupted! It is in your core to do so, you cannot ignore the Inevitable!Nothing weird at all, proceed in the name of Great China! fun and games!

01

The truth hurts, but that’s all that is to it.

In the end, the advertisments doesn’t tell us what the game is about, and make us think it’s some kind of weird cybersex game or something equivalent. But we have to agree that no one is willing to feed or care for you unless you do it yourself. That’s how the world works, but there’s still a limit to being how ignorant and retarded you can be in trying to survive.

Though I hate to say this, even we alone are not so great. How many of us here can say that we are never sway by anime boobs and or moe elements? We can say that it’s art and or something like that, and those people who talk bad about Japanese Anime Cultures sucks. But aren’t we still attracted to it?

Somehow or another…I think these browser games might be run by them ebil feminist so that they can have things to be used against the games we enjoyed so very much…Conspiracy!

Actually, this article was supposed to be on shitty advertisments only. But somehow or another, I can drag it to the “Great Japanese IP Ban Event”. And I was forced to write this article while still feeling very sleepy by Netto.

…What? You think I would do something so great as to write an article on my own free will without being nagged at?! Then Hell must be very cold now…I think.

    Actually, the real issue is how long is this going to continue? And what the hell are the players themselves doing?

    And Netto, you can just go and die or something like that D;

    There was a few uproar quite awhile ago, on the Evony forums, I think around the time they came out of beta (it was in beta?!). They posted insulting comments and saying that the Chinese developers have no morals, they’re too busy adding servers instead of fixing them, etc. The players still seem to put with it, haha.

    One guy, from Britain, was going to sue the Chinese guys behind Evony, because he gave them money and he didn’t know it was in beta, which he said was illegal in Britain or something (he didn’t go through with it, of course). Ah well, the company that runs Evony (I don’t know what it’s called) is a poorly run company which always seems to run before it can stand. They don’t do very well at their job, and they don’t seem to be afraid of ripping off other people (*cough* Haruhi *cough*). The game used the exact same models and textures that were used in Ages of Empires 2, when Evony first came out!

    But, yeah, the advertisements are completely bogus.
