A developer creates real versions of various fake games that appear in mobile game ads.
Who hasn't experienced playing a mobile game only to have an ad pop up for a lever-moving game or a level-up game, downloading it only to find the game is completely different? Don't deny it, a lot of people play free mobile games. These ads are deliberately targeted at specific demographics, aiming for quick downloads so they appear among the most downloaded games in app stores, attracting the most curious users . Seeing that many of these games either don't exist or are riddled with ads that make them almost unplayable, a developer has decided to bring these games to life and release them on Steam.
Known as "YEAH! YOU WANT 'THOSE GAMES,' RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!", this collection of games is on Steam , so it's not really available to mobile gamers. Priced at ten euros, it includes minigames like clearing a parking lot, filling test tubes with colored liquids, and pulling levers. And we can bet it won't bombard you with ads after each game.
The reason for fake mobile game ads
Why do they make an ad for a game that doesn't exist so you can download another one? The idea is that the ads are focused on demographics by gender or economic or cultural level. Thus, people get the urge to play those games, and they download them.
The final idea is to appear at the top of the download lists, so that people end up downloading it is enough. This is how they appear on the list of the most downloaded games, since this is how people browsing through the stores interpret them as the most popular or the best.
When asked if they can advertise games that don't actually include those scenes, the answer is that they include them purely for legal technicalities. While it would be illegal in many countries for these games to be advertised without the joystick or choice minigames, they can include the minigame in question two or three times at the beginning and then omit it, so that technically it doesn't count as false advertising . Or at least that's the idea in many cases.
