Etg is notorious for fake adverts. From AI artworks to using other games, to just flat out not showing any type of relation to the game

[@aurered6387]

bad games do bad ads game pretty but so dam expensive u cannot buy anything without real money in game and if u buy all tack is useless

[@Wolfspirat]

So? Dont buy it and just play for free? Im rather happy i finally found a game thats not pay to win lol.

[@equine.rampaige4241]

@@Wolfspirat I have never spent money on etg because I don't need to and no matter what it's still wrong

[@Slayhorses]

Same with horse riding tales it says u can breed but u can’t and an add that looks way to realistic

[@noxipoxi]

The language in the 2nd Star Stable clip was Dutch, and they were basically saying: Stop dreaming, start riding. What are u doing, Get online and get on that horse JEEZ.

[@suck-o2516]

yeah you got the vibe right, i personally hated the way they used the intonation ..

[@2.Vinnie]

Oml what the heck- they're just saying "StOp RiDiNg In ReAl LiFe GeT yOuR cHeEsY cHeEtO fInGeRs BaCk On ThE sCrEeNs!" like no you cold corn rat! You ahkukd get your cheesy cheeto fingers in a real horse and learn about them! Also the language was just JEEZ (－‸ლ)ᴶᵉᵉᶻ

[@ZoeFlowerson]

Okay kids, now devote the rest of your life and money to this game! Is basically what they’re saying. I heard that and did a retake for a second

[@kristinasvard2906]

It prabobly was Dutch because im from Sweden and Swedish really dosen't sound like that. Love the video ❤

Me who used a horse as a reference to make a wendigo wolf walk on my animation, noticed how people call dog/wolf running a lope, and how Americans say lope for a canter, and finding no difference between a dog and horse walk but every difference in a horse to cat walk

[@raine1323]

lope and canter are two different things henny

Im American and i say canter it depends on the discipline not the country (but i don’t think western exists in uk)

Ugh, poor ETG. However we might all know that making a video game is hard, keeping hackers and new tech out is harder. That's what takes the money away, not the actual video game creating process. Great video!

[@zaaap]

i uninstalled etg some time ago they did a really bad job with their discord and scammed alot of their community and i wont go on supporting this game at all

[@AbigailPinehaven]

The king of horse games has spoken!

[@Evy_Holat]

The problem is that ETG is a good game, it just needs some love. I love the artwork, the animations, it just needs some work done to it.

[@salt7625]

The thing with etg is that it was a much better game...before

[@Zenith564]

You are so right! I really prefer real adds over the AI generated one. BTW, lvl 100 is possible in ETG, an ETG KZbinr posted her horse that had 100 jump!

[@courthouseshow]

you know it's gonna be a banger video when abi and rattle do a collab

[@0800sofa]

this was hilarious. hate to break it to you abigail but unless you want to move to New Zealand, PikPok will probably never hire you, unless of course it is for an ad. i must say that rival stars cross country makes me chuckle. the rainbow sparkle effects really give me "12 yr old horse girl makes an edit of her favourite lesson pony" vibes

[@Kiraiko44]

Thank you for explaining the problems with AI art generators so well! I'm not against AI in and of itself but there needs to be better regulations and protections in place so human artists aren't being constantly screwed over. I'm already seeing mobile games that are clearly using entirely AI generated artwork and it's so disheartening as an artist. And I'm not even anyone noteworthy but it really makes me sad and scared for the industry and the artists I'm seeing more and more who are having their works stolen or are being laid off and replaced by AI, it's starting to happen with the writing community too.

[@AbigailPinehaven]

Absolutely, it would be a completely different story if artists were getting big fat paychecks from AI firms to use their art to teach the AI, but sadly that isn't the case.

[@pumkinpatchwork]

2:18 subtle but important clarification- this is generative AI. “AI” is a very broad term and many forms of “artificial intelligence” (better called machine learning as true artificial intelligence does not exist yet) exist and there’s nothing wrong with the vast majority of them, but specifically the kind that can generate images and texts like explained here is called “generative AI”. so “AI” as a whole is not problematic, generative AI is. (also, thank you for not calling it “AI art” lol as algorithms cannot create art, they’re AI generated images.) otherwise you are SPOT ON especially in pointing out why generative AI is so bad, so thank you!!

[@butterflyeffect6791]

Team Rattle for the personal roast that just hit so well. I'm sorry Abigail 😅

[@JustAnotherPixel]

- music is POWERFUL even in ads that first star stable ad couldve been so much better with music which changed with the scene - honestly having content creators in ads is also a good idea because if they see your face and connect you as some who PLAYS the game on a regular basis you instantly have more credibility meaning people (i atleast) are more likely to download

[@AbigailPinehaven]

Yes music is everything! The music was cute but didn't really convey SSO all that well 😂

[@hazelgroveschleich]

“connecting horse heads like it’s connect four” 😭

[@Heatherslover127]

20:08 just the fact that Abbie’face cam is where the guys face cam is and she was saying’why isn’t it me !’ 😂😂

[@katthedog8629]

Instantly uninstalled ETG after this! As a digital artist I’m insulted by them. Thank you for shedding some light on this! Awesome video as always💗🐴

[@AbigailPinehaven]

Good for you! ♥

[@latte-equestrian]

17:41 abigails laugh is so charming!

[@SoftRainySkies]

As awful as those adverts are they're unfortunately not breaking any laws regarding false advertising because the game itself is free to download, if the app required you to pay up front then it'd be a different story and they can be sued for falsely advertising things that aren't in the game. However they can get in trouble if the AI is found to have used images that are Copyrighted as some artists can sue them if they find traces of their own art within the image, after all AI Art is NOT protected by Copyright due to the nature of it's creation and many game devs ban the use of AI in their games along with even Steam rejecting any projects that use AI Art. Either way they're still digging their grave deeper and deeper, it's so frustrating and disappointing because I seriously wanted to love this game and followed it's development until then..

[@noraedwardstudio9321]

Wow! I loved that format! It’s really different and really good! I think ads really reflect how a company communicate to their customers. It’s important to educate ourselves to see how a company present their product. ETG have been very sketchy about their ads and repeating to people they took care of the misrepresentation that their ads shared and then followed by not doing it, reveals a lot about their transparency and honesty. I am so happy you and Rattle did a video together! What a nice collab 🤩 I hope we’ll have another video like that sometime! Awesome work !😍🤩

[@AbigailPinehaven]

Absolutely! While the game isn't my cup of tea, I know there is a big community who really love game and it's their own community who are being let down by this. I'd like to see proper change come from Kavalri but I have a feeling that won't be happening 😅

[@noraedwardstudio9321]

@@AbigailPinehaven absolutely! I stopped playing because the team was letting me, a player and costumer, down so many times. This is a breach of trust for me so I don’t see myself supporting them anymore. I unfortunately don’t see them go for the better and establish a healthy relationship with their player anymore 🥲

[@skylars.equines]

For some reason I questioned myself “wait Abigail plays starstable?” When I’ve watched your channel a billion times PLUS your user is LITERALLY UR SSO NAME 😭😭😭

[@PhoenixNova12]

The fact I actually got an add for star stable while watching the add on the video 😅

[@darkovikaplayssimgames]

I feel like the people who make these adverts don’t understand why people play horse games lmfao. Like it’s a company that never played a horse game and was like “Why does anyone want to play these” and then made a half-assed ad lmfao

[@Potterhead778]

As a SSO player, I agree that the ads could’ve been a little better during that time range. Of course, they have updated a lot since then, and have made the game more realistic, and definitely included more color and graphics! ❤ (Of course, I love Abigail so much, and I even watch Rattle now lol, so I’m not hating at all 😅)

[@Xaerixs]

Hey abi, the ad of sso where you thought it was Swedish or Finnish, rattle was right😂 it’s Dutch! i was a bit confused ( since I’m Dutch ) why I could understand the ad so well😅❤️ also great video!

As a swedish/finnish person I was just about to angrily comment that it was NOT swedish nor finnish since I couldn't find any comments talking about it but you saved me! Also, didn't know it was dutch, it did sound somewhat similar to danish imo but maybe I just don't talk enough to danish people to recognize it properly.

I am sorry but the little "Yay" on 8:30 that Rattle did... Sincerely awakened something really g@y in me... :') Send help...

We need more collabriations with you two, i do not care if you like play horse games together, but we need more of you two and this energy. And what comes to the reason the "star stable news" ended, was because Ylva did everything, editing, sound etc. And she actually got a burnout every week since then, so the sso ceo decided to stop the news, as Ylva's health was unfortunately dying... Rapidly... And even if they continued it, they would have changed the blondish girl, because she left sso. To answer your question it was Swedish, finish sounds nothing like that :)

Abigail, you showed so many "early access" horse games, which I enjoyed. But for me it's sooo hard to decide which one is really good.

I am looking through KZbin so much searching for a good horse game, but did not really find anything :( it's so hard as a horse lover!!

The second add of Star Stable is Dutch and I know that because I am from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤

[@Managable_Mayhem]

I'm still convinced that mobile game ads are generally made to make you click on the ad/get the game instead of representing the content accurately. Similar to how comercials for cereals are filled with upbeat music and action paired with mascots: That ain't included in the cereal, but it sure makes your kids interested in wanting to buy them, right? It's better to never expect what you see in a mobile game ad. Because even the good games will clickbait you with amazing cinematics and graphics when all it really is ingame is a pixel, round-based fighting (or rather click-button-to-bonk-enemy-with-sword) borderline idle game. It's sad, but still reality.

[@RainbowdashLT]

21:45 I am more annoyed by the fact they used this music that is for south hoof peninsula and the music itself has the whole Scottish feeling, and they showed off a American western things....What was that about, they have good western music why would they use THAT, it feels insulting

The ad at 13:53 is actually Dutch so Rattle was right 😂 It's such a cringe voice to listen at in Dutch, very childish. Which is understandable. Imo, still a good ad for kids they say you can meet special breeds, where horses roam free, mention the snow ''stop dreaming, just ride'' lmao
