That's very simplistic isn't it? 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.

This isn't a thread, it's a gangbang, and it's full of faulty assumptions and incorrect logic. I can't point it all out, but what I can do is post MY opinion, which I did, and which you quoted. It's a lot closer to reality that most things I've read in this gangbang.
