My ideas on the future of video game advertising and PR

Hmmm.......

What's wrong with the zombie thread?

EDIT: When does the moderator bribing start? Are we talking cash or are we going straight for stock?

Those pictures and not so unused cleenex are still up for grabs

I'm not jabbing you. I moderate a forum too, and some moderators are quite corrupt

Nothing wrong with a bit of zombie therapy

If the bribery takes the form of beer....cut me in for a crate or three

My plan: conquer the world, then cram my video games down everyone's throats. If they do not comply, send the offenders off to be "re-educated".

In the Consolidated Krashkartista Republics, everyone will love my video games.

Hello,
there is a recently developed sim and the advertising worked and still works right now, as described in the above post

The initial critics turned out to be written by the very producers, and if now something is criticized there are at once 10-20 posts that tell they accept everything and they can wait and this is the best sim they ever saw.
One person asks a reasonable question, and instantly there are 20 answers, like:

"But the sim does not do what was advertised ?"
20x "Yes, but it will ! Just wait and pay constantly !"

"I do not like the online requirement ?"
20x "I like it personally, i deliberately want it because pirates are so bad !"

"But the server is offline all the time ?"
20x "Must be your internet connection, ask your provider !"

"This and that does not work at all ?"
20x "Stop whining, look at the positive things !"

"But why did you say this will work and it does not ?"
1x Thread locked, poster banned.

But most young people are used to Xbox, PS/3 and do not ask why it should be different with PCs. Indeed, why should it ? With a software industry that has declared war to the customers and their rights, there can not be any surprise ? You are not even allowed to sell your software anymore, this just passed the US courts.

Greetings,
Catfish

I wonder what game that was?

Might you have a link for the US Court decision? I'd really like to read it if you wouldn't mind.

Not the direct link but it's all there, called the first sale doctrine :

Are you hiring graphic artists?

I'm good with 3ds max and photoshop.

I'm also good with military tactics and technology.

Mmmm-hmmm. Just sign on the dotted line. Cash is in the briefcase, all small bills.

Do not read the small print.
