Years ago there was an rpg based around skittles. Yes skittles. It was a banger, fun as hell. It also flopped because absolutely-fucking no one wants to play an advertisement. Listen here EA - the world fucking sucks, no one is fucking happy. Can you just focus on making fun fucking things and not take a giant enshitification all over the one things most of us have to keep us from being on top of a water tower with a high powered rifle? Can we have ONE FUCKING THING??!

Weirdly enough, there’s been A FEW of these types of games that were based either on a specific product or a specific brand, and they were for the most part, weirdly well done for the times they released in and actually sorta fun. Off the top of my head, Pepsiman for a specific product and the whole lot of Lego games if we’re talking about a whole product line. I think that whole genre is called advergames

Unfortunately, Andrew Wilson needs more money to purchase more kidnapped children from Asia.

The packaging for the game really tried to hide it was an advertisement game. Title is Darkened Skye which says nothing about it being a skittles game. Apparently the singular of skittles is “Skittles” according to that game
