It's not only the type of images that caused controversy. The company that made it was accused of false advertisement as there were no pretty much no interactive women or any person in the game. The women in the pictures were not taken by Evony, but stock photos that were also found on some adult video covers as well, thus the saying 'sex sells.' Also the game play was criticized for being too much like Sid Civilization. On top of that, players and critics accused Evony of ripping them off of their money and was relatively hard to progress without buying anything.
Okay the images were more a "deceptive packaging" because they have nothing to do with the game itself. Well, that's rather poor.
We have sexy girls in car adverts, but few except the most prudish of PC wowsers would accuse the car maker of deceptive advertising when the girls don't come with the car. (^_^)V
