That may be the case... (bolded).. but as they *DO* sign such contracts themselves and they Value those types of agreements, then surely they should be mature enough to follow the rules of them right...

It's embarressing to do such a thing as a company.... nothing wrong with having a joke, but not at the expense of your partners..lol. 

Wait... you mean like when Sony insulted EA Access?

I do like your selective reading though..good job.

You are not good at seeing things for the truth behind them are you, only ways it fits your argument.  

For two things to be comparable they need logical correlation, these do not have that.

Advertising a brand that is trademarked by another company is acutally a violation of trademark LAW.  Since MS neither owns the trademark for the Destiny game NOR the fragrance, yes, they broke the law.  If you want to read up on the subject, I have a link below:

Bungie isn't favoring Sony -_____- Activision just took Sony's money in exchange for marketing and some exclusive DLC.

Lightning fragnance FTW!


Does it have allucionegy in it so we can think we are smelling Lightning from close?

I'll be honest, it took me a while to figure out what you meant.


Sorry, my english sucks... but yeah, it would be nice to smell the perfum and think you are doing it with lightning right?

Because they like to have fun? Isn't that what gaming is about?

Having fun?  Really?  When "having fun" involves violating the trademarks of your partners (and a perfume company), and voilates the agreement you have with your PARTNER, it's not fun anymore.  Not only that, but in doing this they have damaged both their credibility and the Xbox brand as a whole.  Yeah, really "fun"!

It will be interesting to see how Activision responds.  MS COULD lose their agreement with Call of Duty over this "fun".  

I also wouldn't be surprised if the person who came up with this "fun" idea is out of a job now.

Wow, you really are blowing it way out of proportion.

Try again, its not blowing it way out of proportion, what was stated is quite true, circumvention of the contracts "intent"  is no joke! 



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

Best post in this thread so far.

I am in the process of redoing my basement, so this retro room will be updated soon.
