Gamers are more intelligent than game companies give them credit for and trying to lure them in with sex appeal really insults that.

Man, you know why as well as I do.

A lot of gamers are still really fucking stupid.

It's cheaper and easier to advertise to more gullible gamers than anything else, and more likely to work.

Older and/or more educated gamers are way past being easy or cheap to advertise for, so they don't even bother.
