For years, YouTubers have discussed the plague of mobile game ads. Finally, we will dive into this topic. Today, we will be covering strange mobile game advertisements that have been spotted in the wild, as well as those that often appear in other mother games themselves. (Meta, I know right?) On top of this, we will be going over the most notorious mobile game companies, their scandals, and intense lore that runs deeper than the Mariana Trench. Let me know which one you thought was the worst. I hope you all enjoy the video!
