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.
dude, i'm a lifetimer on that other game and i don't get any email from them, what gives? i feel so unloved

Marketing clogged up The Computers email account with spam and cheese.

It's actually marketing that hates villains. The devs merely exhibit a healthy dislike for them.

Wait a minute! You mean to tell me that there's actually a department called MARKETING? And this MARKETING thing is supposed to help PROMOTE the whole experience to... OTHER PEOPLE? Not just to ourselves?

Wow, that's an incredible idea! And you say that there are other companies that DO this sort of stuff? Well that explains why I'm seeing a lot of Mr. T on the flatscreen of late hawking something called a Mohawk Grenade.


... Sorry, someone handed me a saracsm inspiration and I had to see how it worked.

I'd just be happy to see more marketing done to other people.

I'm already a subscriber and have been for near to 5 years. Please sell this great game to people that have never heard of it. Which is a huge buttload of people.

Just do something besides an occasional website interview for heaven's sake!

You've got that backwards. Marketing loves villains. We're not self loathing!

If you're in marketing and you aren't self loathing - you're doing it wrong.

HE'S IN MARKETING!

The cake in Portal is NOT a lie. It's pernickety, I know, but it really gets up my nose whenever someone says this. It just shows that they didn't play the game through ALL the way to the end.
