I don't know, but consider: Their target customer who will actually pay them money is someone who is going to sign up to play a Civilization-like game in their browser, and likes it so much that they're willing to buy in-game perks.
Are those people the sort of people who click on softcore porn banner ads? Could be, but my intuition would have suggested that they aren't.
- Tichy 17y agoMaybe that "nerd" target customer does not exist, so they settle for the softcore clients (who might be more willing to pay for whatever, too).
- gabrielroth 17y agoBut so that's an admission that they're in the wrong business. They should trash the game and start a softcore porn site.
- blasdel 17y agoThe people who click on TEH BOOBS don't have to directly convert into paying customers, as just having more people playing adds to network effect.
