What the fuck? I mean regardless of the sexism, do they think that even works with their target demographic? I mean are there men out there who are like 'Finally, a gaming community entirely composed of men where I don't have to put up with all these women being up in my game!'

Most of the ads on Zero-K are fairly well targeted, being just about gaming, but this... what the fuck...

Welcome to 2010, where have you been? We've already had our laughs about Evony. Fast forward several years to the present day and there are a bunch of copycats, right on queue.

Play now, my lord!

Nono, using sex to sell is older than the internet. But MALE GAMERS ONLY? That.. what the hell is that, that doesn't even make any sense. Why would it be male gamers only?

Maybe they think that attracts more girls?

men only, enter at your own risk = gay bar
men: only enter at your own risk = militant feminists hq

Obviously they're filthy misandrists who think only males would buy whatever they're selling.

I know of another article that discusses the topic we're talking about, but the site is apparently hacked.
See if the cache version works for you (it does for me): http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:fZqCyJkWzxcJ:limegreennetwork.com/%3Fp%3D307+
(Alternatively google "limegreen wartune" and click on the little arrow next to the url of the first link).

Yeah, a lot of sites are full of 'Want to date Asian women?' (Here, import them direct!).

I am getting the dutch translation of what Saktoth originally posted.
Except instead of the topmost "male gamers only" it says "fantasiespel voor volwassenen" which translates into "fantasy game for adults".

This strongly implies it has porn in it, and that people can fulfill their fantasies.
