The only solution I have at the moment is this, if you download a game that isn’t what it’s advertised to be, make sure you leave a one star review and warn others. What if every game started it’s ads that way? What then? We can barely trust what we see now but would we be able to trust any of them? However, if we don’t do something about it then these ads will continue and could even get worse. If we bought a game for console or computer that advertised something that it wasn’t (which has happened) people lose their shit! As they should! Now I know mobile games are just a waste of your time and typically not your money. The bottom line is that this isn’t ok and shouldn’t be allowed. Not only do these have nothing to do with the game they are advertising, these are harmful and potentially triggering to people who are just watching an add to get more coins for their Tycoon game. A very pregnant woman saying she wants to get rid of her baby. A daughter clinging to her Daddy in court to not leave her and her mother. A man leaves his wife after she says she’s pregnant. I’ve seen more of these ‘innocent games’ (simple builds, merge, connect threes) do terrible things in their ads. You connect items and finish levels to build a beautiful garden/house. However, after you download the game you will quickly learn that this game is nothing more than connect three. THAT ISN’T EVEN A TINY PART OF THE GAME! They are trying to “spice up” their games in hopes that we will download something scandalous to play. I have seen several ads where a woman catches Austin (the butler character) cheating on her. I’ve been playing the game off and on for years, depending on my mood. Let’s take Gardenscapes/Homescapes for instance. It’s stressful but these ads can also be triggering. These jerks are trying to inflate their download numbers so they will show you something completely different to get you to download their game. I cannot tell you the amount of games I’ve seen an advertisement for, downloaded and the actual game has NOTHING to do with the ad that I just watched. That all being said I am disgusted by what seems to be the latest trend in advertisements. For instance, I’m playing a My Hero Academia game that is continuing my love for the story. I think they get a lot of slack for being something awesome to do with your time. I will download, try, and delete games often. Gaming on the go, stimulation, relief from boredom, and fun! The amount of games I have on my phone varies. I’ve been playing one in particular for the last 2 or 3 years and rarely miss a day. If anyone knows me, they know I love mobile games.
