Hey there, thanks for sharing your opinion of my opinion. It seems like you’re pretty passionate about making up complete bs to attack Firefox, I think everyone would stand by that point. I think your post is biased and largely anecdotal as I have already said, I did not say you were crying or whining but that you could just as easily add both to the post and they would fit right in line with your other non factual arguments. As for bias yours could only be more clear if you revealed your self-created manga where you and Chrome have a short romance which then shifts to you being the bottom that you have always hoped you’d become only for things to fall apart as Chrome runs out of RAM while giving birth.

Yeah so most of these are just unsupported opinion. Why don’t you just add crying and whining to your post to really cap off your bias?

The title of the article is literally: “Fake Mobile Game Ads: Why Do Advertisers Use Them?”

It covers many of the methods fake games are used as bait and switch marketing including hyperbole. You would know this if you actually read the article instead you searched for something in it to try and dissuade from the point of the article. If you’re a developer of any experience I’m a billionaire. Keep lying liar.

You didn’t read the article at all. My god you’re full of it.

No

https://maf.ad/en/blog/fake-mobile-game-ads-advertisers/#:~:text=This happens because some companies,that resemble movies or series.

The ad is for a single player mobile game - it has not been realised and in no way would there be ongoing costs that require it to be axed should a It sell poorly.

Honestly, you’re full of shit and should stop this bs about working in the industry. Here’s what a real mobile advertising company has to say on the matter - note that none of your bullshit is referenced at all.

Now who’s dancing around the point? The same half dozen vertical slices or renders have existed for years so why have exactly 0 been realised as games?

Because they aren’t games they are bait and switch adverts. There’s no market research campaigns and you’ve provided no fucking evidence for your claims at all. Your thesis is bunk and I think so are your claims to be a dev too.

What are you on about? Why does any dev in the mobile need to deal with companies like this?? Unless you’re looking to work for Niantic, EA, Ubisoft/Gameloft etc you can just self publish and that’s what people do daily. Lots of self published games and apps exist and more are available every day.

I am concerned with the larping you’re doing here. Why are you trying to scare people ?

Your whole guess is incredibly well written and it’s also entirely wrong. Wanna know why? You’re about to feel really foolish.

You see the picture OP posted? Most will recognise it because regardless of theme (sometimes a long soldier fighting army other times it’s a person against a horde of undead etc) it’s an archetype that many of these ads use (others are the puzzle game with water, the rpg where you outfight or outfuck etc). Those archetypical fake games have been doing the rounds for literal years, some close to a decade. If they were prototypes or seeking audience interest they would exist by now or they would be much more varied. They don’t and they aren’t.

No, what you’re actually seeing is an artifact of the financial rewards a lack of interest and imagination can render if your audience is large enough - these ads aren’t selling the games they portray, they are the central player to a bait and switch strategy to farm people into generic games that harvest clicks, user data and money from the unsuspecting tech ilterate. These ads are not market research because those who publish already know their markets extremely well and they know down to the second what enough of the audience will do when faced with these bait and switch games.

That you attribute such grandiose cleverness to this scam is pretty sad.

I mean you’d be 100% wrong. I hate what they did but the right to organise hasn’t been taken away and well it should not, otherwise you’d be a potential criminal too.

Which means you agree with the completely false notion that Wayland is killing X, which was my point. Clearly.

Well that’s confusing because the meme is complaint text with Hulk saying that he sees this as an absolute win and you titled the post “I don’t” which means you don’t see this as absolute win and therefore agree with complaint text in the image.

I mean you do agree with it, clearly.

Spectre TVs are cheap because they compete at a lower tier and are priced to attract buyers to what is essentially an unknown brand.

Uttar Pradesh sounds like a place with a lot of crime and violence. Lots of rape and raps related murders too.

Agreed but what also gets me is that they don’t deal with the chat environments.

Oh look a mouthy idiot on a tech forum who doesn’t understand that third parties supply drivers for third party - how incredibly boring, just like the mouthy idiot. https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/
