Yeah but the poor devs are the ones that get blamed for everything. I've yet to see a "Marketing hates us!" thread.
It had to be done. I was compelled by the Boom de Yadda to do it!

Marketing promised me a pony and all I got was a model

Marketing drones came to my apartment to punch my dog in the face and stole all my Egos.

By which after you had cleared up the mess you indeed realised that the pie was infact . . . . . a lie.

The old tired refrain one of the devs trots out to explain why this brand is pathetically under advertised.

If management believes that marketing has potentially been costing the game revenue by doing a lousy job building, and retaining subscribers interest via advertising, that should be vehemently pointed out to the publisher, until it's resolved.

Everyone at PS and NCS is involved in this product to make money, no?

Why should a CoH subscriber routinely receive email fliers from a rival company for a game many of us hate, while literally months will pass with not so much as a crumb of a tidbit to maintain interest in this mmo.



Bad marketing for anything, allowed to continue for years, is bad management, excuses aside.

If you're like me, and had a Yahoo address, no marketing email gets through *because of Yahoo's structure*, not for lack of trying.

I heard an internet rumour, which means it's true, that marketing steals cookies and milk left for Santa, kicks cute kittens, and is so grinch-like that they even hate other marketing! The same source links them to an alien plot to take over the world. And so evil that their Praetorian counterparts/opposites are floppy-eared, wide-eyed puppies!

I'm not saying....I'm just saying.


(P.S. Merry Christmas to marketing!! Looking for something nice in my stocking!)
