    I'm sure you've been playing a game or watching a video on your phone when suddenly it is interrupted with an add for a weird and fake looking mobile game. I've seen a lot of channels try out these games to see if they play as advertised, but they haven't covered what I find most interesting about these games. Are they LEGAL? False advertising is a dangerous game, Theorist, so why do these mobile games get away with it? Let's find out!

    The worst one is Evony which straight up lies to you in the ad. It says, "Most mobile game ads show things that don't happen in the actual game. Fortunately, Evony doesn't do this." As soon as you install and open the app you can see it's completely different.

    Many people ask why the game developers don't just make the games shown in the ads, as those fake games often look more fun the actual game.
    The truth is that sadly those fake games are harder to monetize. You can have millions of levels and power ups and in game purchases with a match 3 game with little art cost, but with a pull the key style game, there is only so much you can do before you run out of art or ideas.

    They should make a system AI for if a half-assed mobile game is added to their app, it monitors the downloads and deletions. If the game is deleted continuously in a matter weeks and uses false advertisement should be instantly deleted and banned from the store. Just like how CZcams monitors demonitization. It would make more room for actual games that don't profit off of people's stupidity and ad revenue. It would fix the App Stores issue, or they could ACTUALLY monitor their app and get rid of all these terrible games.

    They've become self-aware and how have "font you hate disleading games". I play My universe. Its a fun game and the add isn't false at all. Its exactly like the little demo you get to play. I do wish they had a landscrap mode for iPad but other than that its a really fun game with delightful sound effects. The only annoying thing is that ads CONSTANTLY pop up out of nowhere when your least expecting it. Yes you can watch ads to to get more of a specific type of material but sometimes they'll pop up after you've gotten another piece of land which is a little annoying when it happens multiple times but its not too bad.
    Whats really annoying is when they pop up and when the add is over you go back and you've died meaning you have to make your way back to where you when you died. You don't lose anything when you die which is nice, except any progress you've made in defeating one of the high level bosses. I've found running away, letting you 'health bar' go back up and go back for the attack works rhe best.

    I think the main problem with these ads popping up frequently and to no end is because of lax regulations on online advertising. The lesson learned is this: any new thing without rules or regulations can be exploited for malicious gain, and mobile companies abuse these ads (includes psychological tricks to attract players) with no end in sight.

    I downloaded Homescapes a few years ago because the pull the key thing looked interesting and I was really disappointed that it wasn't what it said. I kept playing it anyway because I liked it better than Candy Crush because of the mansion building concept and better storyline. I think it took until level 1260-ish before I ran into the first of those mini games with the pull the key concept. Now I get one of them every 20-30 levels. I think that may have been added in because of too many complaints. The sad part is it's not a terrible game and it probably would have done fine if the ads were truthful.

    I once downloaded a game with a misleading ad and enjoyed it. The thing is, the actual game was _way_ better than what they advertised. It was a pretty cool rp-chess thing with magic and an auto-sorting feature. It even had better graphics than advertised and slipped in the advertised bits (a dull tower-defense thing) as a rare mini-game. It was weird.
    I ended up deleting it for a nitpick and I haven't found anything similar at the same quality. So I have no clue why they didn't just lead with the truth.
    also: as someone who actually downloaded and enjoyed Gardenscape for what it is, I am very deeply disappointed that even they stooped this low
