I’ve recently seen 2 new (at least to me) EVE ads on YouTube, about 25 seconds each. They were literally just half a minute of artsy, abstract gobbledygook about “what it means to be a pilot” set to the backdrop of a cinematic angle of few different ships flying through space with no particular purpose, sometimes in formation. There was no semblance of any actual gameplay being shown, or even _described._ Not a cannon shot going off, not a mining laser beam hitting a rock, not a shot of the market screen depicting commodity trading, _nothing._ It was just like… “The capsuleer is but a cherry blossom in the Ides of March, so vulnerable in the biting wind, yet about to bloom into the breathtaking opus of the expression of will…” _~5-second shot of a Vexor flying aimlessly through space~_ “What drive, what desire, where does this path lead? The stars have lit the way, but now it is time to take up the torch.” _~two Kestrels in formation orbiting what seems to be a station~_ “You see the truth with your inner eye. Fly safe, commander.” _~click here to download now~_ …And I’m like…who the _■■■■_ are they trying to attract with this ■■■■? Second-year media majors? Bro, this game is 99% either using it as a screensaver, or ganking those who do. Most of the people trying your game are watching this on their iPhones in bed in between their Hero Wars sessions; they don’t understand what any of these fancy words mean. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/stupid-ad-who-made-this/434950)._
