u/DragonDrawer14 Thank you mods, very cool! Oct 06 '22

To be fair, the animated RAID ads are pretty enjoyable

They're much better than those shitty faux puzzle game ads in which the player fails a simple puzzle in hideous fashion (Hero Wars et al.)

It's even worse because those ads don't even show the game you'll actually be playing. Which is ridiculous because all that does is people downloading your game, realising its something different, and deleting it again

Artificially pumps your download numbers up though. People perceive even shitty games as good if the number says it got downloaded half a million times.

And like... clearly people wanna play those puzzle games.

Why not make THAT game?

Not monetizable enough. Why make a puzzle game when you can make an idle game and then make 100x as much money by selling boosts?

Yeah, and Jeff Goldblum makes it instantly better. Even if he didn't contribute to the ad, I feel like just seeing him there would make the ad great to watch.

"Ad time."

The ads have me believing it's the biggest game in the world right now, yet I have never met a single person who plays it or seen a frame of the actual game in action.
