  2. the "female player authenticity" issue comes from male player disguising themselves as female to take advantage of vulnerable/lonely straight men who thought to seek a possible relationship while enjoying their hobbies of gaming. many had fell to the tricks, so it's no surprise many guys are wary of the player who claims to be a female. it's not sexism, it's being cautious. most female players gains more respect and treated better, because of their gender alone. my female clanmate got so much help boosting her game character by veteran male player, the same effort that took me 3 months to achieve on which she did in 2 weeks. female player don't get harassed, they get supported. all they need to do is to prove that one is a legit female. if the female player is not comfortable with revealing identities or having insecurities about their appearances, they can still do an anonymous voice chat online, and if they don't still believe it, tough luck for them. or better yet, don't tell them that one is a girl, especially if they didn't asked. not trying to disprove that toxic/mysoginystic guys exist, but they aren't the majority. finally, for guys, don't seek a girlfriend in game, please. there's 0.01% chance it'll actually blossom into a working relationship. go out, socialize. it would hurt more if that "girl" you've been dating for the last 3 months is a 300 pound dude who lived in his parent's basement.

  3. the way the company view piracy is strange. if the game is pirated 500.000 times, that means they lost possible profits for 500.000 copies of the game. the thing is, there's less than 5% of that 500.000 that would actually buy the game. most of that number are either kids with no money, or those unwilling to pay for the game one way or the other. either way, they gain nothing even if their games aren't pirated. they literally cashed in crazy amount of money for piracy protection, which dwarves the amount of possible profits they can make from having their games not pirated. why? just why?

  5. game company sometimes forwarded their advertisement campaign to a third party, particularly if they want to advertise a game to an audience in a different country that doesn't speaks english/the other way around. most of the time the company didn't provide much ads source like pics/videos, they expect the third-party advertisers to check the game and make the ads from that. but the third-party advertisers would just took the money, and then throw in a random, possibly related pics/video or a mash-up gameplay between unrelated game, etc. it is in part the company's fault, they should at least make sure they're hiring a competent folk that doesn't just grab the cash and do a lousy job at making the advertisement that could possibly get them into legal issues. but most chinese/korean game company are cheapskate, instead of hiring competent advertisement company, they forwarded it to a sweatshop-styled advertiser to cut the spending on advertising. and funplus isn't the only company doing this, i've been seeing these type of misleading ads done for many games since 2012 on facebook. crappy facebook game with dynasty warrior ads gif, crappy kingdom building that used mount and blade siege montage. i dont know if it's still a thing over there since i've been using facebook so scarcely, but this thing is at least a decade old by now.
