Sure, some of us make a little more money, but the ongoing misogyny is sometimes just too much to deal with. While playing Words With Friends today, I got a pop up for this "game".
Notice, you have to be 18 to undress her. If you're under 18 you can only KILL her. I checked on Google Play. The game is highly rated. People think it's lots of fun!

(5,505 posts)Unethical companies like this create misogynist or suggestive ads for iPhone games that are essentially realtime strategy games or "builder" games. This appears to be a shitty RTS game that's a knockoff of so many before it, which also had stupid ads like this.
You're not actually hurting women in the game - you're moving glorified board-game pieces around in another uninspired iPhone game meant to fleece as much money from people as possible.

Not only mysogonistic but seems to be promoting sexual assault.
