Does DB Know They are Advertising STT

Ace Boogie

I don’t even know what to say about this but I guess I have to say something.

You are losing ad revenue.

I am already playing.

For those who want to say it cost them nothing that’s not true. There is opportunity cost.

Spend the money on something else like artwork.

Do you have a marketing company and if you do they are not targeting correctly.

If you weren’t aware of this can i have a free legendary behold every week forever?

Maybe I have no idea what I’m talking about and there is a good explanation for this.


On another note the game is loading very nicely and everything is faster. Good job and thank you.

Before the update, it took about 30 seconds for the game to load on my phone. Now it takes 17 seconds. Very pleased with that.

I noticed too that in the ad they are using clips that are very old. From like a year ago before many improvements were made so they aren’t even putting their best foot forward in their advertising

From what I understand, the advertising is farmed out to another company, and DB doesn't choose the ads. But they do at least have some control over having certain problematic ads removed.

I've been seeing STT ads for months. It's funny how, except for showing the Borg mega event, all visuals are from when the game first launched.

Just got it again. That’s number 3,all recent.

So they pay a marketing company to advertise? They also get paid when others advertise with them? Sounds like they are losing money on both ends.

Definitely wasted on me. I already play this game more than I should.

Heh, I'm sure the amount of money they spend on advertising is a drop in the bucket compared to what they make from the ad provider company with whom they contract. But yes, they probably didn't plan on their own ads showing up within the same game that's being played.

I actually had a conversation about this with my wife tonight. It seems like the number of STT ads we’re getting recently has dramatically increased. She’s traveling right now, so it’s not like we’re getting them because we’re in the same area or anything either.

But look on the bright side. They could be using screen caps with Mirror Data instead of the old ones.

I agree. I’m sure they are making out overall.

Thankfully they aren’t. The game looks much better with uncommon Kirk and Data. Those are the images I associate with Star Trek.


I hate to keep harping on it but at 1 penny a click it adds up. 50000 participants at the low end last event. I already gotten 3 adds.

.03x50000=1500

I’m sure we all have ideas how to spend that 1500 to make the game better.
