While League of Angels does use sexy advertising, a lot of the female characters shown in its adverts ARE in the game as angels you can use in battle. I'm tempted to remove the entry entirely for that reason, or at least rewrite it to reflect the game accurately. Any objections?
About the edit to the Call Of Roma entry, the game started off named Caesary until Heroic Era, the company that makes Call of Roma, sought an official judgment (not a lawsuit, as the playerbase believed at the time) stating that their game's design wasn't a ripoff of Evony. Evony, LLC countersued for copyright infringement and misappropriation of copyright. Because Heroic Era no-showed the trial and Evony, LLC had all the evidence they needed, the court ruled in favor of Evony, and Heroic Era was forced to pay over US$600,000, most of that in damages in attorney's fees. Details about the case and ruling are in this blog post,
though correction to the edit is welcome; most of the info I found on this change goes back and forth between 'they changed their name' and 'they shut it down completely and rebuilt it from the ground up.'
Though this is one's not about sex, there may be a more mild form of Fanservice that could make this game qualify:
Enforced in the NCAA Football series: Because of endorsement restrictions on Student-Athletes, the cover player of each year's game is always a notable player who has already finished his college career.

The entry on World Of Warcraft is blatantly false, as was even noted in the entry itself. There is no shortage of Stripperiffic female models in the game, including Night Elves. Also, the City Of Heroes example contracted itself in itself; the characters are in the game, in some cases prominently.
If someone wants to rewrite it to sound a bit less gripey and more factual, go ahead. Also, avoid the generalizations like "Every MMO does this". List them, or they don't count. This also makes it unnecessary to list aversions.

This kind of crap pisses me off, Facebook won't stop sending me these annoying ads that are like this and I tried to put an adblocker up but it's not working anymore. :(
They keep distracting me with thoughts of sex and it's really annoying. T_T
I even tried to talk about it with people on a Touhou group because almost all of my "friends" who aren't actually my close friends don't say anything, and then one guy was disturbed. XD
Fortunately, everyone else was all like "don't worry, the ads are just some dumb scam" and they helped talk about this firefox thing I could since that's the browser I use.
But yeah, now their back up again... Stuff like Leauge of Angels... I swear to god even Wartune was advertised as a sex game and my younger brother was playing that but I don't think that ever happened, it was just an MMO. o.O
Apparently, he was strong enough to kill a dragon low leveled, but everyone had more speed somehow to kill him in 2 attacks per turn and it pissed him off. XD I don't even know if he's still playing it, that was at least 6 months ago or something. :p
Anyways... yeah. Can't believe this is even a trope.
Freaking scumbags... >_<
