Wendy’s has gone full Wendy’s, releasing a 15-hour RPG based on the fast-food chain’s branding.

From the article,

WendyQuest was developed in collaboration with 81monkeys, a Canadian-based company, based on the 2D style of turn-based JRPG classics like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. As more and more games launch with full AI use disclosures, the WendyQuest Steam listing proudly proclaims the game as “100% fresh and 100% human made.”

    I mean, devil’s advocate, they could have released it for people to advertise to themselves, and give them nothing at all.

    There’s a lot of negativity around advertising, and I completely understand why. I use a PiHole, adblockers, etc, I get it.

    But this seems so harmless to me. It’s a free game that, by all accounts, looks pretty good actually, and at the end of it you can get some coupons.

    Personally, I’m not buying American when possible, so Wendy’s is not an option for me anyway. I might still check this out for the funsies.
