Are you sure that the mysterious entity "Turn 10" were in complete control of giving away whatever the hell they are briging people with(probably something free and insignificant)? I mean, honestly people, it's rediculious. You are justing using this "Turn 10 bribes" talking point to flame the developers. They used simple marketing to influence a meaningless internet poll, and it probably was a forum admin, and not even a member of the team. It's a joke that anyone would think what you wrote. Did you really mean that? Am I the only one capable of deciphering the mysteries on life on this forum? Not everything is that absolute. You are drawing your conclusions out of thin air, sir. |
While it is debateable whether or not Take 10's action or "marketing strategy" should be considered bribing or not, that's why we have this thread to debate about that, and I think that it's perfectly acceptible to criticize a company for an action such as bribery.
The reason why I consider it bribery is because I feel voting is something that should be kept pure, and not be tainted with the promise of external rewards.
I think there's a difference between making people aware of a poll and advertising to vote for someone, vs saying "vote this way, and you get this". That means that the vote was, to some degree, casted in order to get a reward.
