Dishonest Trailer
I wasn't going to make a thread for this, but the more I think about it the more annoyed I get. The new trailer for Get Famous advertises having award ceremonies like this: https://youtu.be/pvM...

notice the roar of a crowd? This suggests that these ceremonies will have hundreds of sims in attendance, which is realistic.
However, in the live stream they did an award ceremony with a total of 6 chairs, each sim had to be told to sit, and if they weren't they were just standing around like at weddings. When the sim getting the award started singing, they all crowded around her which would *not* happen at an actual award ceremony.

The two portrayals of the award ceremony are vastly DIFFERENT. The trailer which suggests TONS of people showing up is straight up lying to consumers as what they acutally get if you they the expansion pack is not even close to that. I would have been happy with a couple dozen, but 6!?!?!!?
This is dishonest. It is false advertising. It is tricking consumers into buying a product and it. is. wrong.
and really, after seeing that misrepresentation, I can't help but wonder about the other aspects of the pack and whether what I get will be anywhere like what the trailers show. I don't like watching multiple 1.5 hr streams because I want to discover things myself. Therefore, I rely on trailers to know weather I will like something or not and so I want them to be a fair representation of the pack.
Not. A. Lie.
Yes, but they have been hoodwinking players since 2000. Marketing is not the place to go to see what is in the game, and or what might happen or not. But they aren't the only ones, many games do this and use CGI etc. to advertize their game and then you load it (old game) and find out it was in 2D. lol I remember that from one old game and I was like what? Because the game trailer and box art were all in 3D and then I opened the game to see it was all graphically challenged. As long as players over look marketing schemes it will continue from now on. It's been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years.
