"OH NOES! NORMAL PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES AND HAVING FUN!!! BLSPHEMY"

Please...

I don't see anything bad about them. I actually liked them and are good attracting new gamers. You won't expect to attract new gamers with those stupid ads with girls in bikinis and weird artsy movie like crap do you?

They just show normal people playing and enjoying videogames down to earth.

The videogame world doesn't revolve around nerds ya know?

If by "NORMAL PEOPLE" you mean super popular, super rich stars and if by "HAVING FUN" you mean faking a laugh for 30 sec, then you are right. Otherwise, you need some serious help.

 

Those "super popular rich stars" are actors that can get thje attention of the mainstream on games. Who would you like them to show? a fat nerd with a star wars tshirt? or a weird black and white ad with nonsensical images? of course not.

The idea of using mainstream actors having fun with videogames catches the eyes of the audience and makes them interested because it brakes the wall between the hardkorez and the mainstream that has being rotting the videogame industry for years.

And people feeling "disgusted" because these actors are doing that just proves how closedminded is the "core" videogame audience.
