They make me think of the ads I'm getting on my tablet for match-three and other type of games that appear to be something else entirely - like Gardenscapes, a match-three + build game that is being shown as a rescue-type game where you choose options like either a gas can or a fire extinguisher to put out a fire in order to save the characters. There is a lot of that kind of advertising going around. I don't like game ads that don't show the kind of game I am actually getting.
Ok, yeah, we can have multiple cats, but only 7 plus 1 sim - I like that ad because the sim cats are adorable (but I don't like the beginning with too many cats). And as builders we can put a toilet in the living room if we want to, but the sim wouldn't just continue to sit there eating while people walked into the room (plus we don't have realters bringing people by anyway). But the other stuff isn't right and it triggers my annoyance over the kinds of false advertising I've been seeing for so many games.
If I paid good money for the game based on the Waterworld ad and couldn't then have my sim dive underwater and live there I would be rightfully furious. That ad seems offensive to all the sims players who bought Island Living and were disappointed to find they couldn't do that kind of thing with their mermaids. It feels like a slap in the face.
Not everybody does research on things they buy, they trust in the ads they see.
Gosh, that all sounds harsh. Can I blame my headache? :s
