Its like those old games on the early internet, like 7-up platformers and whatever else, mostly aimed at kids but still. Back when companies actually seemed to care about their brand having a decent reputation or whatever the case used to be. They gave you something fun to do to get your eyeballs willingly on their product. Instead of just trying to force you to see it against your will.

Exactly, I know I’m being advertised to but I appreciate the effort and genuine humor that went into this. I couldn’t help but laugh.

Wendy's released an RPG back in the day. Supposedly it was solid, if a bit silly, though it included meta-gaming rules for bribing the DM with food.

WTF. But yeah, that's how advertising should be.
