Evony really kind of started this, where they would have some scantily-clad woman calling you "Master" or something like that. OK, I get it. It brings some people in I guess, and you could perhaps say that since you are building the city, that you could pretend there is a scantily-clad woman in your pretend city who is calling you Master lol.
But this one has me completely scratching my head. It is for Wartune, a fairly popular city-building strategy game (yet again). Anyway, here is the ad I saw today:
(right in the middle of the page)They are straight-up saying it has adult content, is NSFW and call it a "dirty fantasy game". No more insinuation. But...it isn't that. At all. I actually tried Wartune when it first came out and realized it was building momentum just to see what it looked like. It is just a standard city-building strategy game, like dozens of others out there.
This just seems very weird to me. I understand sex sells, but aren't you setting people up for disappointment if that is actually what they wanted and why they clicked the ad? And doesn't that embarrass the regular playerbase when they tell their friends they play it, and the only thing their friends know about it is its "adult content" and "NSFW" ads? This just sounds like a clumsy attempt to get more eyeballs looking at the page, without a care at all for expectations and perceived game image.
