Work ethic is a disturbingly scarce resource in modern game development and conception. I like to believe there are many developers out there that are simply doing this as sort of mercenary work, and not because they actually intended to, even though they totally are, ruining the game market by flooding it with cheap microtransaction laden trash.
As someone who babysits regularly, the "mobile game voice" marketing strategy works wonders on kids. A lot of parents let their kids scroll through youtube shorts and these kids will genuinely stop and watch the mobile game ads. I've had kids ask me if I can call their mom so they can download a game they saw an ad for. It's annoying and stupid but clearly it's effective.

Whenever you see a marketing strategy you don’t understand, 99% of the time it’s because you are not the target audience, and these days it’s because literally all of these are unofficially being marketed to kids/preteens. That’s the secret of the “mobile game voice”: it’s the exact same tone as children’s tv trying to keep their attention.

Oof, it reminds me of the conversation I had in chat for the game I play (which is . . . One of the ones shown in the video for a short time, Isekai Slow Life, the anime Waifu one). The game tricks people into playing with three types of ads. - Softcore teases of anime girl pics - Restaurant Management game - Isekai live in another world game (The ones I saw) There aren't any ads but the microtransactions and money you can put into the game if you wish is insane. Those that came for the anime pictures will end up disappointed that the pictures aren't more risqué since they all are covered or hidden if they are spicy, and there really are not a lot of them or a number of them aren't even remotely anything suggestive like the advertisers claim. Those that came for the Restaurant management are disappointed because it straight up doesn't exist in the way you would assume. You click a button that refills on a timer and customers come. They pick up a random food, give rating points, and leave. If that food is picked enough times you can upgrade it to give more rating points. There are a few more things about it, but ultimately that is all it does. Push a button and customers come, compete within your server to have the most rating points. The ads I got were the closest to the real game. Start as being isekai'd (die and get reincarnated in another world) as a walking mushroom and earn money and upgrade your village to eventually evolve and upgrade yourself into a human. I read a ton of those cheese low grade stories all the time in Asian Light Novels, and I love them. So I was thinking I would follow the journey of my character in a similar way to those sorts of stories . . . But just like those stories, the plot derailed after some time and they clearly didn't know what to do. After a certain point the story is just, 'you still live as the peaceful town mayor after all the random roadblocks and issues you faced, to be continued'. The only reason I still play is because the people on that server are all generally really nice people just talking about their day in the global chat and encouraging each other, and the fact that I've made made it into the top leaderboards despite not paying a dime simply because I joined the day my server opened. I've played long enough that the even some of the whales have been getting bored and are leaving. As long as I get satisfaction out of how far I've come and the people I can talk to in the game, I will enjoy it honestly~

I wanna mention a GOOD mobile game. A dark Room. Its 100% text based, and a mystery. Its free, small, and a wonderful example of story telling. You have to go out and explore the world, and build a settlement as you go. Because its text only, with only a few buttons, its super easy to navigate.

Night Of The Full Moon, and also Caves. They both have roguelike elements but the former is a card based combat, where Caves is a dungeon crawler with turn based action. Both are fun, the former is $55 currently to buy all the story modes, extras and such, and also get rid of ads that pop up when you die. And you will die a lot. Caves only has ads when you go into deeper dungeons or teleport back to your homeworld, which are highly infrequent events. Other than that, very few mobile games I could recommend in good conscience. I do like somewhat grind oriented games that still give you more than a single trickle of progress but, that does not excuse the borderline extortion that is exercised by the larger market

It's because the majority of Genshin's fanbase is made up of casual players, most of which don't play much games at all. Since their target audience is for casuals, they will get the more generic bad ads. Meanwhile, HSR specifically targets a more specific gaming audience. You can also kinda see this in their subreddits. HSR's subreddit is more... uh, stereotypically reddit if that makes sense lol.

I was really hoping you were going to talk about those bonkers solitaire game ads where they show people in a coffee shop paying for their meal by playing the game and no longer care about money. My favorite ones are where everyone in the ad seems to have a different accent entirely.
One of the very few features I love about new Twitter is the community notes. Every ad for a mobile game has a community note below it saying “Ad does not match actual gameplay”. It’s amazing
HA they seem to really be PUSHING your BUTTONS hahah get it ?
i will probably never understand these advertising strategies (and im a final year communications major, i know a thing or two about advertising) because there is this mobile game i genuinely like, "project makeover". they are *notorious* for those weird clickbait ads. the add will be like "oh no i have a date in 2 minutes and i look like i spent the last 5 years living in a swamp! what will i do?" and the "player" like shaves her head and picks inappropriate clothing for the event. the real game is nothing like that, its a match three type of game where you work on a makeover show helping contestants with their homes, their fashion and looks. its fun, pretty and sometimes very wholesome. so i do not understand why they make those clickbait fake ads when they have a genuinely good game??

Definition of ragebait. Anger is better drive to play a mobile game than genuine interest.
Last War actually surprised me by how similar it is to the ads... Still don't understand why they couldn't have just shown the game for the sake of being genuine.
I love all the ads that try to convince you there's sex in them, as if Google play would let them do that.
I worked for a game testing outsource company and had to test games for one of these companies and holy shit literally everyone hated it because they would just ignore every bug we reported and still release the game. They did it as a formality
I feel like the point of these ads is that the people in the ads always are so bad at the game and when you watch you get frustrated because you feel like you would be so much better at it so it makes you want to play it. At least that’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
I remember reading/hearing somewhere that the largest demographic for gaming is middle age women. By far. And it's primarily due to mobile games. I know some people would say that's not gaming but video/computer/mobile games all fall into the video game category so yeah... a Mother's Day special doesn't surprise me at all.
"Why do these companies think these tactics are gonna work??" *plays the game* "I mean c'mon who's falling for this?!"
They used to show this game were you were a low level mobster, saving a girl, becoming the boss (literally higher level) and somehow also fought zombies?! It presented like a choose your own adventure game, but was drawn in almost a comic book style. I fought the urge to throw my phone everybtime I saw the ad

It's interesting how many of the mobile games people really remember the most fondly are the ones in the early days of the touchscreen. Where although they're all incredibly gimmicky because they're built around displaying the screen & tilting, because of that they all have simple, satisfying, fun gameplay loops. Now games and apps are only actually made *for phones* in terms of mass market appeal bc everyone has one rather than any actual gameplay possibilities. (They're also remembered well because nostalgia, that definitely hurts my point however much but I do think I have a point.)
Most infurating mobile game ads i get are the ones with the woman and her child freezing/starving and its some bs like "give them food? A fire? Or a wrench" and the person always gives the wrong option, you see them cry, and then it says "can YOU save them?!?!! 1000 levels!!" And it makes me so angry. I have no idea why. Makes me think "ok starve then."

My adhd stricken boyfriend is OBSESSED with white out survival bc every time he seen an ad he hyper focused on it until he ended up just downloading it and he will actively SPEND MONEY on it. It’s so fascinating.
I've seen a lot of ads that sell themselves on the threat of mortality in childbirth from either direction. Yeah, I'm sure that breaks some rule in advertising standards.
As someone who played Whiteout Survival for about 180 days I can confidently say that what happened in those ads is nothing like the game. The game is more dumbed down and super boring. I only played it for so long because early on I found some people I became friends with. The game naturally ripped us apart and I only lasted about another month before giving up. Once I lost my streak because I got really sick I was no longer interested as it was the last thing holding me there.
the fact i got an ad like the ones you're talking about before this video is very funny to me

Thank you, this is the first comment I've seen on this specific ad. I thought I was going crazy since no one else mentioned it.
I get these exact same ads on youtube daily. Multiple times a day.
I'm fairly confident the company makes their own gameplay video and then they just send it to a bunch of cheap creators to get the voiceover to use. I'd get spammed with so many ads for the same games that I caught onto the game footage being identical but there had been like 4 different people pretending to play. Also ones so poorly edited that the video of game got super low quality while the fake player was still HD.
I love his insponsorsed ads. He keeps it interesting lol
An advertising gimmick often used is to show gameplay that's really bad to get the person watching the AD go "I can do better."

That’s too 2019 for Evony
The most annoying mobile game ad is sHaDow RAiD LeGEND. It’s so bad even biggest KZreadr are promoting it. Even they know it’s bad
I remember Evony banner ads in the early 2000s. I always assumed it was some kind of mmorpg but every time I see a different ad for it the genre is completely different.
the way the people in the advertisements talk about the game footage reminds me of that one tiktok where a guy is commentating a surreal match between a bunch of people where they kept taking out props and toys and playing them as if it was a real card game
I got one of these ads right before the video started, and for a second thought it was part of it.

the fact that i have played both whiteout survival and isekai slow life and both of their ads were completely inaccurate... neither of those games play like that at all.

@@1MaxVader1 in my defense, when I played it it was still being marketed as "fix up a little town and help your friends with their problems :3" it wasn't marketed as being all that horny... and I was bored...
i knew subbing was the right idea when you started using pajama sam soundtracks as bg music
During the second Whiteout Survival ad all I could focus on was the Crash Bandicoot 2 & 3 sound effect faintly in the background.
I got an ad for every one of these games during this video
I play two mobile games as a free player, which means I gotta watch a good amount of ads (yes, I am using my life productively). Although I've got plenty I've hate--the rage bait ones are vile)--I love the ones that I can actually interact with. Makes the 30 seconds go much faster!
Evony is like....one of the first games I think I ever saw that used the whole false advertising angle. It's definitely changed and expanded into the mobile market and all that but from it's inception they've just....lied about what the game is. It used to be a straightforward resource management, colonization and siege type of game and I have no idea what it is now. People used to actually like it but I doubt it's the same anymore now that the mobile game market is....like that.

i tried it a few years back and you had to unlock the pin game after many levels. i wonder if theyre putting a few of those runner ones just to dump you back into their actual game after

@@LightBluPikachu Probably tbh Because it looks like they only ever actually added the pin levels to the game because of backlash about the ads. Because the base game isn't what they advertise and I'm not sure they actually care about keeping people very long term since the main pitch is to get as many downloads as possible. Which seems like a bad business model to me tbh

@@opheliamunroe1110 i honestly wouldve played if it was actually the pin game, since it was the most interesting looking one at the time. ive been getting alot for that royal whatever game where youve gotta help the king? used to it was Just a candy crush ripoff, but at least in their interactive ads, it looks like they may be pulling some tricks
Great video Mr andy
starting this video got me last war add, I really hate those adds, and lately I'm getting more of them, even though I don't play mobile games at all, but uncle youtube knows best what I want to see
Uhhhh wtf at 19:30 "Appearance" options include "Gorgeous", "Ordinary", "DARK SKINNED" and "PALE AND NEAT" ........
Actually subbed because of that ad transition.
