I understand Playata wants to advertise their newest game "Big Bang Empire", but honestly, here in the States, this game shouldn't be marketed to kids under the age of 18. 

 

While HZ does have plenty of adult players, it also has many kids playing as well. And this is hardly the place to advertise such material. Yet, over half of the videos I see to shorten time on missions, training, etc., are for this game. This is bombarding our kids with a temptation that many of us, as parents, really don't appreciate. 

 

If you could reel back the frequency of these video ads or better yet remove them altogether, I think many of the parents here with kids who play this game would appreciate it. 

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

this game is not really porn, you should try to understund what I'm meaning it's only sexy and we're not able to see anything

 

Playata is really carfull about this matter and moderate users who is talking a bit to harsh in game

 

Also this game is not recommended under 16yo

The commercials that they put in the game are really offensive to women although not actually porn. I cringe whenever I see one of these videos pop up. Perhaps I am not the only one.

In America 16 is still under the age of consent in many states. 

 

This is one of those areas where Europe is different to UK and is even more different to America. The stuff that can pass on European tv is a LOT stronger than would be deemed acceptable on UK tv and some parts of America are a lot more prudish than UK. 

 

Culturally speaking it is *INCREDIBLY* inappropriate to invite CHILDREN - which is what a 16 year old is in America - to pretend to be making a porn film. They can't "do it", so they shouldn't be pretending to be hiring people to make it. 

 

Of course parents don't want their children - again a 16 year old *IS* a child - seeing adverts for that game. At very least there should be an opt-out.

I am not offended by the game. The game itself is kind of cute. I do find offence with the advert though. It is meant to be a funny take on porn movies but then - hey the seduction is only to play a game!  Still makes me cringe.

Duly noted, thank you. I think the question here is about different countries, and how serious the ad is seen as, as well as the game itself of course.

I have a question how old do you have to be to play herozero I've come across an 8 year old once and a few 12 year olds who might I add have potty mouths. There are a lot of people who play this game that dont take into consideration that they play as well...I also agree that Big Bang Emperor is inappropriate I quit playing it after 1 day
