Just got a new phone so I figured I'd put some games on it.
I've always had a handful of basic games on my phone - things like solitaire, sudoku, chess etc - so I stuck them back on.
I also installed a couple of old favorites such as Plants vs Zombies and Neverwinter Nights.
I also, also, put the new ES Blades game on it (cos I'm a total Skyrim fanboy) and a couple of similar games.
All fine so far.
Thing is, most of these games have in-game adverts, and this is where it starts to become a bit sketchy.
I'll see an in-game advert for, say, a "survival" game, I'll click the link to install it and the game I end up with will actually be a card game.
Alternatively, I'll see an advert for a "detective" game, install it and it'll turn out to be an arcade game.
Or I'll see an advert for a "Brain Training" game, install it and it'll turn out to be "match three" game.
Or an RTS which turns out to be another arcade game.
Etc.
Did Android just stop giving a poop about truthful advertising on their platform or is this the result or, perhaps, asian companies flooding the Play Store with so many cut/paste games that Android can't regulate it?
