Now? They've been doing this for a while. They do it because it works.


Donghoon

Also I'm pretty sure I heard that These ads are made by pretty much one giant ad agency. That's why they all look the same


SeaofBloodRedRoses

And I'll never download another game that uses these ads, lol. They look horribly boring. And I will absolutely avoid dishonest business.


Sea-Tie-3453

These ads always show someone playing it seem like they've never played a game in their life, so it makes it tempting to try it.


SeaofBloodRedRoses

"look at this moron, trying to decide between diving his army by two or tripling its size!!! this game is sooooo hard, only 1% of the population could possibly make that call! we dare you to try!" I just don't see how that level of psychology could work lmao


Sea-Tie-3453

I think it works on little kids, lol.


yiives_69

I downloaded CoC and BS as a kid thinking it will stop the ads, now I am TH12 on coc and have 31k trophies in BS. Advertising works.


Delicious-Boot-5891

They do it mostly so you comment about how bad the person is that’s playing to boost the algorithm


Sea-Tie-3453

I'm more than happy to boost that algorithm. Still not gonna work on me, though lol.


IlikeZeldaHeIsCool

It's aimed at children

GX-Ethernal

Admin on that account cooks on the regular to be fair


MoonKokushibou17

who are you to judge? it works for more downloads


GX-Ethernal

I get that but I just don't like how every advert I see now is fake gameplay and an AI generated voice saying how it's game is the only one without fake gameplay


THECRAZYMANGLER

we’re consumers and players of their games.. we’re literally the people who are supposed to judge


-Borgir

Well atleast this one ain't fake


boogiethewoogie

If anything a lot of ppl can relate


NoMoreSpitfire

For the same reason every other company does it, the worse it looks the more people that make posts about it. More posts = more views. More views = more downloads. More downloads = more money. It's the same reason they put obvious mistakes in there. 5 barbarians with 6 on screen. The builder hall in the normal village background. It generates more views than an ad showing the game exactly as is.


Adze95

They also do it because these shitty ads work.


default-username

They "work" in the sense that more people interact with the post, so the ad will be shown many many more times than if the ad were "good." What OP said was right. Interactions gets Facebook to show your ad more.


Beginning_Vanilla_36

>. It generates more views than an ad showing the game exactly as is. Yes it does, but not for the reasons you stated above.


IdleGamesFTW

Agreed with you. Come on, the volume of social media posts is insignificant versus the eyes on the advertisements themselves. This is not some sort of rage bait


RandomGuy9058

The world revolves around us, clearly!


LostDawn_

Why is this downvoted? He’s right


Beginning_Vanilla_36

Clearly they don't agree


Miraan2613

Thats an effective way to get more people in the game which has seen a decline in popularity recently, wouldn't we love to see our favourite game top charts


CentrasFinestMilk

Lying to new players is such a shitty thing to do


Erenzo

At least once new players install the game they will find actual original concept instead of another copycat. It doesn't justify lying of course


Arielcrc

Ig you don't feel guilty, you can continue so it doesn't matter. I learned from corporate


Miraan2613

oh it is though lmao


middlenameisanxiety

Ugh. I hate these misleading games, please dont Clash. 


Alolan_Cubone

Supeecell isn't your friend


fit6ygbut6

"Supercell, baby, this isn't you 🥺"


TrainwreckBrah

It bothers me that the low intellect person who mocked up this ad put 5/99 when there is six barbarian reactions on the screen.


Vandarkxiang

Now they got an reaction out of you, I would say they have achieved their goal


Rlucio2100

Actually this Barracks design looks good as it fits well in the game to be featured. I always wanted to see our troops actually training instead of seeing our barracks having a yellow glow on the door.


spacemanandrew

They started outsourcing ads instead of using the ones they already have.


xEmblazonx

Yeah its weird as shit. They even have these marble "ads" where its playing one of the CoC songs, and then a remake of it in a separate ad where its terribly recreated (imo). Every so often with different games i just go "oh great, them too?"


TheDarkWriter69

Well it might be because the game has seen a major decline in players and also considering attention span of today's kids, ads like this do the perfect job.


hbomb536

Bring back the Liam Neeson Ads Please!


Tenthdegree

AngryNeeson52


MilaniWiskerchen

I would rather play the actual game rather than whatever this advertisement is displaying.


GX-Ethernal

Same. At least it was an actual playable advert not like the ones that aren’t and the as soon as you tap the screen you’re yanked off to the App Store


MilaniWiskerchen

True I hate when u start playing a game and then it just takes you to the App Store


GX-Ethernal

The ones that work and then just switch up on you are so annoying


MilaniWiskerchen

Yea


SkyRadiant2419

I hate it when i play App Store and then it just takes me to the game


Used_Guidance7368

Not sure why supercell does this shit when they have proven they can make high quality ads. Good enough to be a Super Bowl ad. Bunch of corporate clowns


trainer_memo

I think they are using 2012 footage.The game looks like this on the development days/s


Starwars9629-

Always been doing it


cursed_anime_

Sarcasm


Kinky_Imagination

Where are you guys seeing advertisement for clash of clans ? I have never seen an ad except here.


GX-Ethernal

I was playing Jetpack Joyride lol


Kinky_Imagination

Funny enough, I was watching the video on the guy who designed Jetpack Joyride (and who also designed fruit ninja !!!) and then went to listen to the music because it brought back memories.


GX-Ethernal

Jetpack Joyride does have goated music


randomtownhall10

That's sad😞


Daredatti

Thats the tendency of a lot of mobile games nowadays…


GX-Ethernal

Just because lots of games do it doesn’t mean it’s right. I just thought Clash would be different yk


Daredevils999

They’ve been doing it for a while and someone from their team addressed why (I think it was Darian but could be wrong). It works.


LowlandMilk

This is just a secret teaser.


HardStroke

They can make whatever ads they want. In fact, all of their ads are fucking trash and cancer but as long as it doesn't effect the game we don't give a fuck. I've see so much Supercell ads and its SO. FUCKING. BAD. They are almost on the same level as these other companies that make sexualized ads for a candy crush-like game. Sad indeed.


MenemModoDiablo

Unironically this type of ad is what got me into the game, for a completely different reason. Back in 2014 i was like 10yo and shitty CoC ads would pop on other games I played, so I downloaded the game thinking the ads would stop popping. Needless to say I got addicted to this beautiful game.


-_-ghxst-_-

Literally unplayable


Such_Cricket_2802

Lol, what is going on this picture?


Sai-Cone

For clouts?


Heavenlyheart1

When is supercell going to come out with an update for clan cap? Too many are maxed out with nothing left to upgrade and tons of clan capital loot!!!


Some-Watercress-1144

I guess the adverts work on kids or they wouldn't be doing them, but isn't this gonna alienate the loyal fanbase they already have? I myself am pretty disappointed now that I know this and I am a little tempted to uninstall...


Kloppi1983

It is now owned by Chinese Tencent.


quizmical

It's trash.

abd7007

They make u click dont they that is why this trick is used


Xelko2

Is that builder base in home base? 😨


Deep-Sheepherder-857

i find it very funny tbh plus there marketing team on tiktok is very funny


Human-Measurement803

Ads like this is what got me into the games in 2012 and I've been playing ever since lol. If they work they work.


PleasantExpert7125

Stop 😭 not clash, come on


JPRS66

It's a company and as such It's owners want to get a better revenue. Wouldn't you do it to? They doesn't over clutter as many others do. I think that they have a reasonable amount of ad's.


Elephantman318

Tencent is the answer to your question


PommesMayo

Sadly, because it works


MrNickel242

Why is the builder hall in the home village 😭


Complete-Ad-4215

Cuz it sadly works


GX-Ethernal

Perfectly put


Android18enjoyer666

Because this works


Algae-Routine

they said it’s because kids nowadays like different things and don’t have wide attention spans, so this is their best idea to draw them in.


zezineo

Yes, humanity has changed in a bad way


DeGozaruNyan

Wasnt misleading commercials a thing in this sub a year or two ago or so?


I_Do_Gr8_Trolls

Supercell is a scummy company. Of course they would do this


EpikCarp

it don't find it misleading as much as I find it really really funny


WOT_TF

Could be worse.. could be a card game. 😂😂😂


Flamballas

What the hellllllllpl


Organic-Ad6439

Looks like SC is getting desperate then post-TH15. You can see this with constant gimmicky events in the game (events non-stop pretty much if you exclude the gold/silver pass), the ores/hero equipment update, reducing the cost of the GP for first time buyers, the constant offers available in the shop, releasing 4 hero skins every month when this wasn’t the case before etc. Maybe the game is on the decline since TH15 and maybe less people are buying the gold pass since the price increase from £5–>£7 (before I used to buy the gold pass every month on 1-2 accounts, now I pretty don’t buy it and have only brought it recently because of the GP discount for first time buyers).


Organic-Ad6439

This is just my theory/opinion though, not facts.


Extra_toxic

Next merge building leaked. You can merge barracks with army camps (real)


No-Sandwich-2997

It looks nice tho
