Congrats.

The latest and worst offender strips away all pretences of mediviality. At least with the one before this there was a hint of mediviality if you were looking for it.

What.

It's like they're trying to appeal to teenage year old boys the world over.

As a teenage boy, I'm offended.

That means they failed with the ad.
I think they're going for the porn-watching internet teenage boys who are going through puberty.

Is this the original?

Also, I don't understand how people use boobs to sell games that aren't about boobs. It's pathetic.

These seem to be the worst offenders. Not porn, but still don't pop them open at work.

I'm really feeling a shortage not-lowest-common-denominator games out recently, TBH.  :'(

Gaaah, are those for real?

Maybe they're desperate.

I hadn't seen that last one before. It doesn't even say Evony. Do they really think people seeking boobs will stay for more than half a second after they realize it's a medieval strategy game? It's just...gah.

I like how the top one says "play secretly"

What were they thinking?!?

Sad.

Apparently they weren't thinking.

At all.

I remember the first and last one. Not so sure about the ones in between.

Yep.  Wasn't the left second one ripped from a costume shop or something?  I think I remember reading that.

On a lighter note, I tried and failed to find pictures connecting Evony with Atomic Rage, but I only came away with this.

As an ex porn-watching internet teenage boy who was going through puberty I would have found it insulting back then as I do know.

Likewise, and even then I would never have clicked on that (nor even paid much attention).

And of course now I have ABP and NoScript. Hooray for Firefox!

Why not abandon all pretense of a game and just make a porn ad ring? :P

I knew some kids who handed out flyers at college and made $500 a month. It was almost criminal.

I don't know anyone who plays Evony, for the record, so we can probably count this as their last gasp.
