Game Theory: Are Your Mobile Games ILLEGAL?
SUBSCRIBE to Never Miss a Theory! ► goo.gl/kQWHkJ
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!

MNthe has been quiet since this video get uploaded
I looked up the app he shows and it said bingo clash lol
One time it said my computer was being hacked and I fell for it and a few days later I got a message from someone random and my computer almost got hacked But I managed to get rid of it
False advertising needs to be made illegal.
I don’t care I’m gonna download hero rescue because I just want to finally play that stupid style of game that has alluded me
I got an add for fortnite but it was for mobile and from a year ago. Completely fake
What I hate most about this whole thing is that they are literally ILLEGAL and they aren't getting punished for it!
E P I C
The best MNthe videos have no ads
Worst thing is, what do they get from you downloading the app just to uninstall it a minute after, or even making you go to the app store just to quickly get out of it? I know they aim for a targeted audience, but those little "X" to close the ad make no sense to me!
Finally someone talking about these ads!
FINNALY SOMONE TALKS ABOUT THIS
That’s how Matpia works
12:42 Prosecuted. You're welcome.
Yes
Those game developers watching this: 😳
11:17 your match is @Markiplier
You are really the best, MatPat! I just found your channel(s) a couple months ago, but your comment is fantastic and who you've shown yourself to be is exactly the kind of person this internet age needs. Just wanted to let you know that I seriously appreciate your content!!
The weirdest part to me is that while Gardenscapes and Homescapes are one of the biggest offenders when it comes to these ads, they're actually pretty enjoyable puzzle games (at least when I played them a few years ago lol) not sure why they felt the need to make horrible clickbait ads when the games are solid.
Bruh every mf time I get a mobile game it’s literally just candy crush
I hate the poker game ad where the ad is gameplay from rdr2
The sad thing (with Gardenscapes at least) is that the ads used to be very accurate. Then all these logic puzzle ads came along and things got stupid real quick.
When i play a different game an ad pop up the name was title hops it says noob vs pro i doland it but almost perfect but a bit different
E
Started playing the game GardenScapes well before they added the mini-games and started seeing the ads. I remember seeing the ads and thinking, this isn’t in the game. Recently came across a couple of the mini-games. Started playing another game that showed some of the same style of game as well, and when you reach a certain level you see those style of mini-game and there are other mini-games in that game as well. Shouldn’t be too hard to show players what they will actually be playing.
7:25 i just checked the description for something but nothing is there
So basically mobile game companies that give false advertising are not getting lawsuits/punishment for violation from the FTC is because of just money.
Dude my mom AND my dad both have homescapes and gardenscapes.. like bruh
YT doesn't have an AI to check the content of an Ad.
HAH. HAH. 965? MY MOM IS OVER LEVEL 2000 ON HOMESCAPES! weird flex but okay
Anyone else got a mobile game add during this video
The reason I went to youtube premium was to avoid these ads. Thank you GT for a video exclusively about the ads I dont want to see 🙃
Sitting here patiently for the SUPER AMAZING END CARD TOURNAMENT..... 😥
How long has he used that same stock picture in his videos... I’m talking about the one at the start of the vid
Me when matt takes mobile game ads and links it with animal evolution.
Ur not tankman
They don’t care, as long as they are legally allowed to make misleading ads with smaller-than-the-pixels-on-your-phone text saying the game isn’t what the ad says it is, they won’t make a good mobile game.
i always turn off my internet to play most mobile games.
If your a simp get out “TCVH” “TCH” days later... me: if your a add GO TO HELL “TCVH” “TCH”
The start of the video is practically Zelda BOTW on your phone
they should make their fourth channel conspiracy theory coloured blue
Congrats on 14 mil mat pat
Bus rush
I played gardenscapes, was good, got hard, stopped, saw ads, and went "they changed the game??????" downloaded, and was like "i knew it"
I work for a game company that makes mobile ports of our games (we make digital board game adaptations) and these companies give us a terrible name. It’s frustrating.
Do you know roblox it does real ads
Watch 200000000000000 ads to receive 1.2 gems
10 YEARS BRO GEEZ
Pull the key and I'll send you to the hellish part of the playstore
--sees BFB reference--
Alyssa is weak My Mum Is On Level 3657
Yeah I get that from the FTC standpoint its small fry, but stealing other game IP in the ads is still copyright infringement and wrongly associates one product with another. That's a different matter. When people see footage of Read Dead Redemption in a mobile game ad, they may incorrectly assume there is an endorsement or collaboration. Rockstar could sue for brand harm, eg.
Mobile game sponsors be like : InStaLL rAiD sHaDow LeGendS toDaY AnD gEt A 3 StAr heRo
did you know even angry birds did an ad like this
save da baby
what confuses me way more is that they have this thing called "offers" where you download other apps, but they literally never work and all it does is force u to play like 20 games for multiple hours for no reason.
So uh. When you showed that gems thing,gems actually spawned ingame.
About Time
Physics around women in any ads, always a bummer that it only appeals to men. How sickening...
I hate ads
Who checked the description after he said the two arrows in the description
This is funny because you've totally voiced an ad for a game Matpat lol Though I can't remember what it was 🤣
matt: why isn't anyone doing anything to stop it? ⚬ ⚬ ⚬ *jim sterling is typing...*
The worst experience i ever had with these ads are the obnoxious sexual ads that shows up on MNthe Kids videos
Epik Meme
2:13 Look at the rockets
And this is why I use Vanced lol
whats worse then fake ads? fake ads who forcibly download themselves to your phone while you are trying to hit the X
CODM AND PUBG AND LETS NOT FORGET BRAWL STARS DONT DO THESE ADS BECAUSE IT LOOKS GOOD ALLREADY
I am DONE with these creepy ads. I believe they are meant to attract kids. How DISGUSTING this is !!!!! Thank you Mat for speaking up about this. These game/ad companies should be more ethical.
Ad was NSAJUFGHGZDSFGUYESADF
While i was watching this vid, an a ad popped up, saying (in latvian) ohh youl Get a 1000euros ir smth, yeah scam.
Bro who remembers angry bird?
I downloaded your app, and I purchased a whale's worth of starting currency. I don't know what to spend it on. I was told that this app was just supposed to just contain misleading ads... and as soon as I purchased the currency, all the items to buy disappeared except "unlock new ad", is this an intended feature?
The ads are banned now, BUT THEY ARE SHWING UP ON TWITTER! MOTHERDUCKING TWITTER!
Project Awakening looks cool af. Reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus.
I'm so sick of mobile games with extremely false marketing. Like, it would have been *easier* for them to make the quirky puzzle levels they advertise versus the "build your empire" stuff.
If you think about it, MOST of the actually good mobile games don't seen to have ads. And if they do they're not fake ones.
The fact that sexual ads play in kids games is disgusting.
Shoutout to the SUPER AMAZING END CARD TOURNAMENT BABEE
Urg. While watching I got an ad for a Waifu collecting/training game. At least this time it didn't show them bending over and tell me I should spank them when they're naughty.
To be fair gardenscapes USED TO advertise for the game it gives and I still don't know why they can't just make a new game that is just like the adds
The real questions being answered! Thanks MatPat - now I never have to click a mobile ad!
Well some of the game companies like supercell, very accurate ads.
Yahoo
It
Can you do look for lore in a mobile game called the underworld office
Sorry i spelt that wrong
The false ads are annoying and in some cases inappropriate.
in Hero Rescue's defense, it's actually pretty cleverly designed. I have it, and it's a fun way to kill time while riding in the car or waiting on food. It has a premium version to remove ads, and it's only 3 bucks, which I was happy to spend because someone finally delivered on the game that kept being advertised
All the age of empires game play used for ads
wooo hero rescue... i actully like that ganme.... but i have a vpn adblocker... so no ads for meeeee
Meanwhile People: why tf does this game have so many ads Me, an intellectual: Just play without wifi
laughs in being on level 2862 of gardenscapes... my life is sad
Has anyone noticed, when reading reviews on Amazon, half of the reviews are for a completely different product? Like you’re looking a screen protector for you phone but most of the reviews are for a survival knife kit or something.
EPIC intro
and then i get an add for a RTS game that i know that they stole from age of empires gameplay
____THE GAME THEORISTS____ *_Ruining your childhood since 2011!_*
Ever since I watched this video, i get a lot more ads for mobile games like this. Thanks MatPat...
before i could watch this video i had a mobile game ad
What happened to the good old adds like the 2010 ones with proper gameplay instead of constant challenging
there are only a handful of honest mobile games. a few examples include clash royale, and bloons td6.
