Just so you know, marketing is not the job of being truthful its the job to sell a product without breaking any laws. So deceptive is not the word I would use because it it is exclusive. The marketing is literal to exactly what its selling. Its always up to the buyer to take any marketing with a grain of salt and be attentive to the choice of words. |
Deceptive is the fact that Microsoft always tries to fool uninformed people, which is exactly what they're doing with PUBG. You will find that 70% of X1 fans believe that PUBG is console exclusive, which it won't be. Microsoft purposely writes "CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE" and "GAME PREVIEW EDITION" in two different colours, instead of writing "CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE GAME PREVIEW EDITION". And they do stuff like this every time. Call it what you will, I call it shady marketing and no...that's not how marketing usually is supposed to work, at least not here in Europe.
