| Galaki said: Deceptive marketing? |
How is it deceptive marketing if it's five trial games and it says "Plus Five Trial Games"?
I guess it would be deceptive marketing if it was five full games (as I'm guessing it is, sites like Kotaku always freak out over things that turn out to be non-news), but not exactly the kind of deceptive marketing one can complain about. More like bad marketing, someone in the marketing department not knowing what a "trial game"is.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
