Does anyone understand the point of advertising a game doing something that, after downloading, it does not do? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It seems like if what you're showing is what you understand they find appealing and fun, then surely that's what should be in the game. You give them that.

But instead, you give them something else that is unrelated to what they've seen on the ad? A gem matching candy crush clone they've seen a thousand times?

How is that model working? How is that holding up as a marketing technique???

The most devious format is when they show a "clip" from a "totally real youtuber's very real games people say are fake, but aren't" series

Protip: The harder someone tries to convince you something isn't the case, the more likely that it is. Lemme put it like this. Would you trust a restaurant that felt the need to put up a sign saying "We do NOT jack off into the clam chowder!", no?
