Sexual messages in game advertising

Lately I have been attracted by some advertising banners on Google Ads.
They all had one thing in common… boobs!

Funny thing is that they are not at all considered sexy ads, infact they all advertise video games.

The Evony
ads are the ones with the most interesting evolution,
they passed from a knight to boobs like it was a normal thing to do. Studing their evolution is clear that they gained benefits from it, otherwise why misslead people to something totally different from what you are advertising?

Attracting people with sexual images is not as new as somebody can
think.
Walt Disney has done it many times,
using either boobs and phallic symbols.

In very old advertising it is funny to search for this subliminal messages.

Subliminal messages are not directly understandable, but at a subconcious level our brain decodes those images as something interesting.

I have
collected few game advertising, all images taken from Google Ads,
so of course none of those advertise any kind of sexual contents.[...] Reference Image
