I didn't said it was the same... I asked you why it's worse, you provided nothing.
And very nice to completely lose the point on the RTR question considering the context.

I told you why it was worse in my original quote to someone else, why do I need to further add that the advent of other various forms of advertisements exist more so now than they did a generation ago?, you of all people are not casual by a long stretch so I would imagine you know of such advertisement tactics being more commonplace this gen than the last, marketing this gen is by no means the same as last, nearly a decade ago all 3 were using different marketing and advertising means than what is being used now, otherwise general marketing advances wouldn't have been made and stayed completely the same, except change always occurs in everything in life, the same happens with marketing and how to advertise. Loopholes and finding ways around them isn't anything new but last gen I don't recall the exact same situation happening with a metro or any other newspaper of that kind, especially from MS, I also don't recall up close and personal marketing stunts in public the way they are now than they were 10 years ago.

I shouldn't need to fish and waste my time to link advertisement types or all ads based on each platform so you can turn around and go "it's the same, I was right", you should know marketing changes, everything changes in life, to expect the exact same results every time let alone a decade later if not 50 years is absurd, marketing and advertisements from 50 years ago for a prime example are completely different compared to today and it doesn't take a casual with no marketing knowledge to notice a difference in change.

Also you asked me for my opinion on Ride of the Tomb Raider, you didn't specify what you wanted answered and I gave you my opinion, no need to get completely flustered and get enraged about asking for an opinion without specifying posts.

I'll end it here though because I can tell this is going to go in a circle because one of us isn't going to accept that marketing and advertisements can and will change.

The thing is, the only company using loopholes is MS, have you see Sony trying to circumvent RTR or Fallout 4 ads? Or the CoD and BF before that... I agree that in 10 years things change... but the 8th gen started 2 years ago not 10... and even this gen only one company is trying silly tricks to market its product. They even listed sometimes 1st party games from Sony as exclusives to Xbox consoles in their blog or site.

MS wasn't doing any trickery to breach exclusive ads last gen, because last gen they had the exclusive ads, contest, timed and whatsoever. Is that the hard part to see why this specific thing changed?

I asked your opinion about RTR on a topic about exclusive deals. I wasn't going of topic for your answer to be completely out. And you still haven't answered what you think about the timed deal or the exclusive advertising for all the games MS is still doing or done in the recent past. Why is that?

You are ending the discussion because you have answering completely unrelated to the question.
