They wouldn't be as annoying as they are if the people playing the games in the ads made good decisions. Seeing people fail through obvious bad choices is way more irksome than someone smashing it.

Yeah, but I think that's the wrong way to approach it. I don't think I've ever downloaded a game where the ad had someone playing like a moron. Maybe that's just me.

They intended to make people think about the gameplay. Which you did. A lot of people will take that as a challenge.

They’re usually targeting “whales”. I can’t say if whales are more inclined to be triggered by poor gameplay than the rest of us but that may be the case.
