First off, we don't @nintendo here. In other words, we're mostly talking amongst ourselves, which I think is a healthy way to vent. Second, something not being worth the price they are asking is much different than "I really wish if enough people called Nintendo out on social media about Super Mario Galaxy 2 that they would add it to this compilation for free." If you don't think @ing a company and demanding something for free isn't bullying, then you may want to expand your definition of the term. I think requesting Mario Galaxy 2 as a $10 DLC might get more traction and will come off way less entitled and might get you the DLC for free anyway. I don't take exception with the desire and opinion, I take exception with the method and the intent...and the openness with which you laid out basically an extortion scheme. "Give us what we want, dammit, or we will flood your Twitter presence with bad PR." Kind of an odd thing to do to a company that you "love" and can't wait to enjoy their products. And who knows how much $$$ you're saving or making with your campaign, especially considering we don't know their plans with SMG2. |
No, I don't think telling a company that you don't think their product is worth the price they're charging and asking that they add something to the product to make it worth the price is either bullying or extortion. Nor does it fit any other definition of the term that I've been presented with.
