Remember when games were popular enough to actually get commercials?

But why didn't they move to social media? Are doomiescroller attention spans too small to be worth even a basic joke-punchline set up?

It's because there's a ton more laws about advertising to kids that didn't previously exist; and now it's just so much easier (and you get a way bigger return) to pay a streamer or two to play your game instead of making a dedicated ad.

Its the other way around. TV has gotten way less popular. Vidya has gotten more popular. Nobody below the age of 45 regularly watches satellite tv with ad breaks anymore

You know that scene in Return of the Jedi where the Jabba palace worker turns the gonk droid upside down and slowly lowers the branding iron onto his feet while he screams in agony?

I imagine something like that would happen to you if you got an ad like that out today
