I saw another such some months ago, which I believe was for F.E.A.R. So it's not surprising to see another example of a ridiculously sexist videogame ad, which has nothing whatever to do with the content of the game, and which works to estrange female gamers. I'm pretty sure this is another example of targeted backlash, as seen in other arenas (such as sports and certain careers) that have traditionally been seen as 'masculine'. But the gamer culture is hugely sexist, and it seems that-as more women become interested in games and overtly express our videogame nerd-dom-the more sexist the ads and the views expressed by male gamers seem to be. I'm a big videogame fan, and most of the games I play are very unsexist in their content. In total agreement with Jennifer and Ryan. It reads, “She is actually in our game, my lord”: sent along the ad below making fun of the Evony ads. ’09)! Apparently the Evony ads have become such a thing that other games are referencing them to advertise themselves. I’ve always wondered what that would be like. from Coding Horror says,Įvony, thanks for showing us what it means to take advertising on the internet to the absolute rock bottom … then dig a sub-basement under that, and keep on digging until you reach the white-hot molten core of the Earth. Presumably some players will be disappointed that there isn’t a female “queen” to be saved or oogled in the game at all–the women were invented only for the purpose of adding boobs to the ads. Or sometimes apparently you get this view: When you click, you are taken to this site, which asks you to sign up for the game because “obvious,” “it makes you feel like King!” You simply see this image and are invited to click on her boobs, butt, or lips to turn her into the “ideal woman”: ’10)! Thanks to Chris M., Tinpantithesis, and Ryan, we now know that there is an Evony ad that doesn’t say anything about the game at all. Using the term “discreetly” to imply porn, it reads “join the fun”: sent in this next one with a nice “we’re lesbian, but just for you” flair. No longer content with boobs, they seem to be moving towards implied female masturbation: seems to be taking the advertising to a whole new level. If that didn’t work, why not straight up near-nudity. found a close-up version similar to the one above:Īnd then they realized they could just dispense with all subtlety and get to the important part: sent us one with a woman actively disrobing and saying “Come play, my Lord”: Moving on to a slightly more realistic look:Ĭhristina W. In case people weren’t noticing the cleavage, the ad evolved into one where the boobs are pointed out a bit more explicitly: Then they added a woman with a little boob showing: Online ads for the game started out like this: (images found at Gawker and Coding Horror, and hope I didn’t miss anyone who sent it in). There is no other actual definition of optimality, particularly in a mathematical context.Readers’ minds think alike, sometimes, and the changing advertising campaign for the “empire building” video game Evony caught the attention of fds, torenc, Assaf N., Elisabeth R., Sabriel, Nicole O., and Liz B. Optimality is defined by what JP established when they had an extra six months to think about this and try different things. Even if you’re not wrong, it won’t be “optimal”. If you didn’t trade your entire collection of 6* GFE’s for multiple Yusukes, you’re doing it wrong because JP said so.ĪLSO KEEP IN MIND: All original thoughts about this game have been preordained to the JP player base, as well as all possible future strategies. PLEASE NOTE: Appearance on this list is immutable, has nothing to do with what dungeon you are attempting or what subs you have, and applies to any level of player skill. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS:Ĭhanges from last time: Uh, Jhoira was released? Also anything that we forgot to kick because it’s not Yusuke, new and shiny, or a 7×6 meta-lead was a mistake.
