Default Re: What is the story with those dominion ads??

And I have no idea what ads have to do with the thing advertised.

A good ad may get me interested, and if I'm interested, I'll buy a game. A bad ad won't make me interested, so I won't buy the game. If I'm interested in a game and see an ad, it doesn't really do anything, does it?

What I don't understand is a bad ad making people NOT buy a game they already are interested in. This last one is what people claim Shrapnel has done. Well, whatever, but to me the ad matters less than the pretty pictures in the cover, and those don't matter at all.


As I said, I have no idea what ads have to do with the advertised product - it existed before the ads, and it will be the same even after the ads. It's the same, nothing has changed. I'm tired and rambling, but why would anyone be interested in ads, except to laugh at them and make fake bog beast plushie ads, which this threads hasn't had at all.

The adds don’t fit in with the style of the rest of the site. It jars. I think this is part of the reaction, it isn’t the Shrapnel style.

Ladies in game ads, not a problem. Check out the cleavage on some of the characters I have played in various RPG!

Legal point. I hope you have permission to use the images, as I suspect they were not specifically captured for your ads. That is the only real possible problem I can see. Well, beyond the fact this thread is overly long for no good reason.

Wrong! It is the site that isn't in style with the ads!
