It makes perfect sense. He's hired to generate controversy, which keeps the game and its name constantly on page 1.

This idea is like actually less crazy than his crazy ideas that everyone arguing with him is a shill. Considering everyone in the thread is arguing with him, that would make us all shills, so who would we even be marketing the game towards.

How short is Chapter 3 of the Witcher 2? The city seems quite small compared to the previous chapters and there don't seem to be many side-quests either. Though this isn't a bad thing as I wanted to complete it by Tuesday.

I think you may be right.

Utnayan let me start by saying that I give less than no fucks about gamers and gaming, and I PLAY games myself. It is beyond me how anyone could be this invested in any industry which does not directly contribute to their livelihood.

Well, I'll say this.

If effects me when I see people posting on the internet promoting or defending unethical business practices. Doesn't contribute to your livelihood or theirs?

How about a little kid with leukemia that just spent their 40 out of 100 on a video game they saw on TV that looked awesome but was nothing like what was advertised.

Ever dealt with that? How about we start there, and all the other fucks in this thread that workBy the way, for their organizations can start to chime in on defending it as they viral their two week launch window.

By the way, there is a great story behind this. And I think even the notorious viral marketers here can benefit from it. And find new jobs.

I'm not sure equating the disappointment of receiving a video game with slightly less deep shadows and leukemia is going to be very effective. One just seems a bit worse than the other.

That kid took some of his money and bought a game called Alien Colonial marines.

Why?

Because I was sitting there watching that movie with him and he loved the thing. His favorite part was when they set up the automatic machine guns and they went off and he knew when the guns were going off by looking at the counter tick down.

Aliens obviously.

He spent the money he got from this very site to buy that game. It was a horrid broken mess as we all know. And he wanted to buy it and I insisted that I do it for him and he insisted no, he was going to buy it because there were great internet people that helped him and it he wanted to let them know he had fun and spent that 40 bucks wisely so I made him a steam account, he downloaded it, and I bought him a nice gaming laopop to play it on since he was in his bed.

The game crashed constantly. Completely bug ridden as I found out later, and then knowing later through my contacts that the company... gently caress it.

This kid looks up to me and says, "This game doesn't work that well......" I tried to fix the computer, over and over, I gave him 5 laptops, nothing changed it. He said, "The movie was better I think".... And All I could think of, was that gently caress, ********* covering his rear end while he was being sued by ******** for 3rd party, yes.... what a mother loving bastard.

But those ads were awesome. You looked at the screen on the TV and you can sucker those casuals into buying your product or those moms and dads without thinking twice.

9 weeks later, that kid died.

You can see from why I am so adamant about being ethical when it comes to these games? Honeslty, no internet poo poo, have you ever had to explain to a kid that had some funds to spend to help him out and make him smile, and loved a game that oh well, "Those publishers suck I guess, lets go call it a life!"

Yeah some may think I am nuts. How about owning up to your product and not being an unethical gently caress. Has that ever once entered some minds.

Witcher 3 will be fine. What got me was the usual defense of obvious bullshit deflection.

Let me clue you in developers. We don't owe you poo poo. We bought your product, and sometimes off false promises and unfinished product. The hell you loving say we are entitled for feeding YOUR family. Get off your loving high horses and realize that false advertising is bullshit, and all your viral garbage will not make a few decent people go away.
