    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.
