I doubt I would buy an advergame. However, if it was offered in a QR code or free WITH a purchase of a product, I would be more likely to be impacted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>why do the advergames tooth protector and escape work? What makes chase the chuckwagon and shark bait fail?<\/strong>  In tooth protector, it represented the actual purpose of the product and oral hygeine in general in a fun and casual way. It helps change players minds that oral care is a logical choice rather than moral. The game mechanics of chuckwagon and shark bait had nothing to do with the product. The gameplay was also supposedly forgettable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>what does volvo\u2019s drive for life accomplish?<\/strong>\u00a0It helps players actually visualize the effects (with and without) of the safety features they brag about.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>what company used in-advergame advertising?<\/strong> Pepsico<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>what was one if the first home-console advergames and what beverage was it for?\u00a0<\/strong>Pepsiman with Pepsi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>what makes the toilet training game sophisticated and do you agree?<\/strong> The author believes what makes this game so sophisticated is the mechanic of urinating. I&#8217;ve never played this but based off of the description, &#8220;sophisticated&#8221; definitely isn&#8217;t the term I would use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>what do advergames and anti-advergames have in common, and what principles do they share?<\/strong> Both aim to persuade players of something and use the interaction of the games to do so. They rely on creating a engaging experience that will leave a good impression on players. Ideally, this experience forces players to think and act towards the product in ways they wouldn&#8217;t with a traditional ad. Users also become more invested (time &amp; emotions) in games than they would with a TV ad. They rely on this emotional appeal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":249,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[78,139],"class_list":["post-11821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-design-studio-2","tag-game-design","tag-marked"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/249"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11821"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11821\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11824,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11821\/revisions\/11824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
