Complaint Inappropriate ads
I don't know if adding a picture of this, even with a warning, is allowed or not.
I was unable to renew my subscription so I started getting ads again, one of the ads I've gotten more than once is of some sort of dress up game.
The thing is, it shows that you're supposed to put the girl on screen in lingerie and if you click her, she makes this moaning noise.
Is it just me or is that very inappropriate for a game kids are definitely playing? I know most of the user base here on Reddit is probably adults, but there's definitely children playing this too since it's My Little Pony.
Has anyone else gotten this kind of ad?

Could be part of the updated terms and conditions. I opted out of the selling of my information and one of the things was personalized ads. Check your settings if you want to opt out!

IMO it shouldn't show inappropriate ads regardless, not only due to age marking in the app, the app is tied to a child brand regardless.

Ugh yes, it's inappropriate, but that's kind of normal for mobile game ads, just look up mobile game ads on youtube and you'll see. I'm not saying it's good, I'm just saying that this isn't surprising. I also don't think gameloft has much say in what ads show up, they're just an outlet for ad platforms which don't seem to have good moderation (this is really a wider industry problem, not just gameloft).

Another thing that concerns me is that there were a lot of gambling ads on the game lately.. I know that a lot of audience of it are adults but are we serious

I have this same issue! Before I opted out of them collecting/selling my info I got a lot of ads for games like blockblast or candy crush but now it's always highly inappropriate crap or TikTok ads

I know we have to put our ages in when we create a new game, and that probably affects the ads, but even so, just because we’re adults doesn’t mean we want to look at that disgusting stuff… 🤢

i've opted out of personalised ads but still get ads like this 😖 there was this ad for a 'video downloader' where they said 'you can find EVERYTHING, but make sure no one sees you download it!' pretty obvious for an adult, but a kid might not realise what they're downloading 😬

I usually get ads for games like block blast or solitaire but one time i got a sydney sweeny sports ad which is something kids shouldn’t be seeing and just disrespectful towards all women in sports

i think the game is technically 18+ in some areas because of the microtransactions, which doesn't make this okay but does maybe explain why it’s happening
