I saw ads for this game on FB that were so over hyped it gave me the ick.

Generally speaking, if you are getting an ad for a game on any platform not specifically designed for games, not search for my you, or not owned by the gaming company itself, be very sceptical.

If they are blowing budget on widespread fancy ads, chances are they are doing a bait and switch.

At least that’s my take.
