Online game uses cleavage to promote… what exactly?

Published by dan_doll under PC Edit This

EVONYBrowse a few articles here at http://videogamer.today.com and you’ll no doubt notice the ad for the free, web-based PC game called EVONY. Or, at least, you’ll notice the smiling lady and her bountiful cleavage.

EVONY
Spend any amount of time browsing this site and… hell, you’ve probably already gawked at this ad, haven’t you?

Forget compelling footage and innovative gameplay talking points, EVONY is being marketed solely on the power of the female form. Don’t believe me? Browse on over to http://www.nintendoworldreport.com and you might chance upon not one, but two different EVONY banner ads featuring the same boobs and the same lack of information.

It’s a shameless marketing tactic to be sure, especially when the bulk of the online gaming population is likely to salivate at the imagery like Pavlov’s dogs and the dinner bell.

EVONY
In this banner ad, the breasts are seen lying down. This and the tall banner on the right of this blog are from ads at Nintendo World Report (and probably countless other sites).

So what is EVONY? Damned if I know. I clicked the ad to see the official website and learned that it’s a free, online game, probably set in some kind of fantasy, medieval world and it may or may not star an enormous pair of exposed breasts.

If the ads within this article aren’t enough to sate your lust, you can check out yet another cleavage pic at the game’s website and try to figure it out for yourself. But, if you do click, know that you’ve shamelessly fallen for bosom-based marketing twice. Once to see the game and once - admit it - when you clicked to read this article.
