What is the story with those dominion ads??

I can tell you this much totally honestly. If I didn't already own Dom3, and I saw that ad, I would be mightily disinclined to purchase it.

This is also true for any product IW makes in the future, since I assume the ad ran with their consent. If not, IW, please let me know.

IW was as surprised as the rest of the forum members. I'd suppose that Illwinter is taking care about developing the product, and Shrapnel of everything else, including decisions regarding how to advertise and market it.

You guys must get offended a lot if you live in the US. Not sure how you could even watch TV here given all the programming you must find offensive, if the Dom ad falls into that category.

I am in the "not offended" and "indifferent" camp, but I turned off cable TV. Pure crap that I could no longer watch with my 2 young daughters even on the network channels. Now I am either working on the computer, or for entertainment we will rent movies or watch select programs on hulu. I get a good laugh when someone at work refers to one of the latest and greatest reality shows and I get to respond "Never heard of it."

Yeah I concur with VedalkenBear. If I was a prospective buyer and happened to be curious about the hot chick ad appearing on <insert random forum here> and clicked on it only to find Dominions 3. I would be like ... "was this a joke?" and then, realizing that it wasnt I would think to myself "what the f--k is wrong with these people?" and then immediately close my browser.

That is in fact the thought process that went through my head anyway, now that I think about it. Heh.
