Like these asshats knew damn well that pretty much everyone thinks that their games are ass, so they make these ads featuring fake games that actually looks interesting in order to trick people into thinking that they're downloading a good game.

Capitalism breeds innovation :porky-happy: .

It's also basically impossible to browse the play store because 99% of content is like this.

The only good mobile games are the ones I play on gba or nds emulators lol

There are also some nice ports from PC. Someone here suggested I try Cultist Simulator and it's fucking great.

The most influential game of the 2010s was the mobile game "Clash of Clans", or at least this Jim Sterling video makes that case:

Instead of the awesomely unrealistic Atari cover art we got in the past, we get celebrity endorsements and expensive CGI cutscenes. These aren't even real games, they are basically legal gambling.

make these ads featuring fake games

Funny to mention some of those companies actually wholesale steal material from actual games to make their shitty ads.
