I can’t imagine anyone being horny and dumb enough to fall for some robotic AI voice advertising a porn game about overwatch. And I can’t imagine boomers get horny over 3D characters. Same with those weird TikTok-esque porn sites. The only explanation I have is that these companies know very young and gullible people are on there and are trying to profit off them

    Gen-X gamedads can and do fall for those fake porn ads. I had chud relatives that have done exactly that. The sweet spot seems to be 40+ to 55 or so, where they're just young enough to be bazinga about bideo bames but also old enough to have kicked down the ladder and found some greybeard niche that still pays well enough to throw it away on Star Citizen or Evony or whatever.

        It is. There are actually ads for it with people saying the actual game (that pull-the-pin puzzle you see in ads) is real.

        Only problem is that you have to go through a 30 second ad every time you complete one of those stupidly easy puzzles.

        Those ads were all over the place back in the late aughts. They used to pretend to be some kind of sexy thing. Now they use that fake pin-pulling game ad.

      Yeah this immediately made me think of my friend's "cool" gamer step-dad.
