Hi, I am Erica ;) How are you today? I am a manager at GameTV. A new game is launching, could you do me a favour and try to play it? Every second player will win a game t-shirt. It is a latest online game, give it a try on my page. Will take you couple of moments. Let my know what you think we can talk. Erica

Guys, League of Angels is so desperate.

Their shitty porn ads aren’t enough.

They’re resorting to making fake tumblr accounts to beg for players.

UNBELIEVABLE LOL.

But, but, but… sex itself does NOT sell? WHO KNEW!?

I find it amusing that these games go into predictable advertising spirals.  It happened with Evony and now it’s happening with League of Angels.

First it’s sexy images with generic taglines.

Then it’s softcore porn images with taglines befitting hardcore porn.

Then it’s annoying as affiliate/spamming programs.

It’s pretty much the predictable pattern of a mediocre product that’s sustaining by the wishful thinking of executives and investors who are unable to learn from history.

Ultimately, most things that are offensive are also lazy and unoriginal; because you can’t reach that point of view by looking at the world honestly…You reach that point of view by taking short cuts and by just sort of repeating what someone else told you.

From now on, this is our universal answer to the supposed “creativity” of skin-revealing armor.

“weaponized femininity” more like “how to cater to the male gaze and Western beauty ideals while acting like it’s Totally Subversive”

Apparently, according to all the people who were upset that we dared to call out Hideo Kojima and implied that his use of Quiet in promotional materials was objectification and pandering, you can also act like it’s totally subversive by writing a long back story for the character.

It doesn’t have to be, or really their own back story, or one that the majority of players will even experience – just so long as there’s something there to claim that you “totally humanized and made worthwhile” the character who’s boobs appear in every promo post.

Then it becomes a deep commentary of the “reality of women in these situations”… there being so many women who run around in bikinis on battlefields in reality.
