StaceyPowers Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 I have to post about this weird Twitch ad I just saw, because it made me laugh. It showed an image from an FPS game, and then the text said something like, “If your idea of camping doesn’t involve sleeping bags or tents, you are already one of us. Join now.” I get that it is a cute pun or whatever, but on the whole, most gamers’ attitudes toward camping in FPS games are quite negative. It seems almost like the person who designed this ad was unaware of that, and just thought, “Okay, here’s some lingo I can reference.” Does anyone else think this ad text is something of a misfire/mistake?
The Blackangel Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Considering that camping isn’t really playing the game, and seems kinda cowardly if you’re not specifically a sniper, they fucked up.
SaucyPastaTho Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Sounds like it was an advertisement for an in-game clan of some sort or something. And I don't hate camping although it can get really annoying especially in games like COD.
Crazycrab Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 It sounds like a ploy for the advertisement to get people's attention/clicks and as long as it gets that it doesn't matter. I see this kind of stuff all time amd I wouldn't think anything of it.
skyfire Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I think this looks like a way to generate new types of the gamers who fall for this type of the clickbait.

I hate clickbait though I understand artists and streamers use it to generate tons of revenue. Slap a sticker of justin bieber or whatever is relevant make a bunch of money and call it a day.
