Permanent boycott list because they didn't release the game for your system? That's weak, man. |
It's not about that. Read my postscabove. It's the conduct surrounding it. I have a PS4 and PC, I have plenty of means to play the game. It's the lies, the manipulation, the contempt. It's the fact they hyped up the Wii U version for the entire development period prior to being picked up by Bandai Namco, using it to manipulate an entire userbase to be their hype men and gain press coverage they couldn't have hoped to get as well as secure more independent funding. A version which, btw, despite being hyped never had a screenshot, a video, an off screen photo, a demo, nothing. All evidence points to a Wii U version never existing in any form, it was a lie from day one to generate hype they couldn't get in direct competition with Forza and the like. It was a ploy, a con, and when Bamco picked them up, they canceled the Wii au version the same day and publicly insulted the Wii U userbase, the one they had praised and made promises to and hyped up. It was one of the most low, detestable things I've seen a professional developer do. And that's the reason they are boycotted btw: THEY did this. Not their publisher forcing them, they did it. They weren't unwilling partakers in this bullshit, they were the architects. There are many games that failed to come to Wii U that I think should have and while it bothered me, I never got overy upsst. But what Slightly Mad did was beyond that. It was unethical, contemptuous, gross, and manipulative.
