Evony uses porn cover ladies to advertise photo

Listen, we all know sex sells, but Evony has taken the idea to a truly unprecedented level by plastering attractive women all over their game that has nothing to do with half-naked attractive women. You've probably seen their ads around, but if you haven't here is the lowdown on their bosomtastic ads. It doesn't end at their advertisements, however. Even Evony's sign up page (seen above on the left) has mostly naked women on it, and they have even less to do with the game than the normal cleavage bearing females they show off.

In fact those two ladies have been featured elsewhere in the world and Negative Gamer has found it. That place is on the cover of the film Girls Playing With Girls 102. Yup, Evony grabs its photos from iStock and evidently so do low-budget porn DVD makers. Sadly, the two attractive blondes on the cover of the DVD are not in the movie at all. According to reviews of GPWG102 the women in it "look like they are on a 3 year meth binge, toothless and homely. Found on the street holding signs that say 'will do nasty things for crack rock.'"

Also, I would like to request the the makers of Evony not sue me. K, thanks.

Remember when they had a princess with cleavage, hinting at sexual nature to lure people in? Yeah, they just gave up trying and went strait to porn, good move.

I read that title as "Girls Girls playing with 102"

Matthew, why do you always spell something wrong in the title?

.... I can't tell if this is for porn or a porn game. They're giving the video game industry a bad rap as setting up women to be only pinup girls. It's wrong, but there's no legal way to stop it.

To be fair, a derivative Civilization rip-off that likely supports gold-farmers is hot enough without the help of those "Gorgeous Cuties" of Girls Playing With Girls. Talk about gilding the lily.

Evony uses some of the most bullshit publicity ever.

Wow. They're not even trying to make them look vaguely medieval any more.

How much porn does one have to watch to know the exact film that these two women are from?

It's called stock photography, dummies. This is a non-story.

No story on how Kingory stole Artgerm's Chun Li piece to advertise their crap?

I mean, c'mon - it's gaming related and art theft!

Evony is a RTS game that has very nearly no animation at all. Things progress quickly at first but after a while it takes hours to upgrade things, and then days, and in extreme cases: weeks. You build your city, acquire resources, create troops, take over lands, beat down other players, you get the idea. You can also make alliances with other players which are Evony's version of Guilds and go to war against other alliances.

Hahaha!

I saw that ad yesterday and didn't even recognize that it was Evony it was so unrelated. I gotta say though I'm not surprised. Not at all.

What really cracks me up though is that review.

A few things on this one- what is evony? I have been looking at the site and can't find a description of the game or screenshots unless I am somehow signed up and playing it
two- it is pretty damned funny that the pron lifted the pic from iphoto instead of showing actresses that are actually in the film
three- I wonder how the two models feel about being on the front of the pron

This would be funnier if you guys didn't have the same moronic ads for them on your site.
Or maybe that does make it funnier, I dunno. Evony sucks.

People still pay attention to Evony ads?

Oh, right. Tits. Never mind.

Too bad the ads are the only thing even remotely interesting about the game.

I have to agree with the7k here. While no one will argue that Evony has set the bar for scummy web advertising lower than ever before (ignoring any accusations that the game itself is riddled with malware), this is downright classy compared to the Kingory ads.

Blatantly stolen fanart and of a highly recognizable Capcom character at that! Not only is someone *begging* for legal trouble, that's just shady beyond belief. :P

The Evony ads are getting more and more sexual. I wonder what's next? Perhaps they'll start advertising their game with hardcore porn animated GIFs?
