My biggest gripe with the ad isn't the obnoxious patronism or blatant, and ineffective, attempt at being 'sexy', it's the fact that the woman in question looks like some kind of retarded bondage Borg.

Please don't prove him wrong by posting retarded bondage Borg porn.
These ads are visible everywhere on Shrapnel Games' forum. The fact that the Dominions community ALSO sees them is insignificant - the target audience seems to be people who have bought other games published by Shrapnel Games. I'd much rater like to see these ads outside Shrapnel site, because most gamers here like hardcore strategy games and have heard of Dominions. People outside this community might or might not follow a link like that, but they might wonder what Dominions 3 is. If they bothered to read about it and had ever played any kind of fantasy kingdom game, chances are they'd be interested, because the game is just so awesome.
I also expect that Shrapnel knows what kind of people buy and play Dominions. I think it's mostly people over 25 and under 40, with people under 16 and over 50 totalling under 10% altogether.
