I didn't even know that game existed until I saw headlines saying it failed. It wasn't marketed well and I would bet that was on purpose. I think they knew it was terrible, why else wouldn't they try to sell it?

Meanwhile I've been getting assblasted with ads for it on every whitelisted app/site. I knew this game existed since it was announced in 2016, I am an avid SMT/Persona player. Why tf am I getting the ads?

Marketing team fucked something up in the targeting.
