I think they probably hookup a paper shredder to the mailbox if allot of people where to do that, the only way your message where to arrive without ANY problems would be to go to the EA HQ and talk to the president yourselfSartan0 said:
Call of Duty broke and continues breaking sales records without needing to shit in a shoebox and call it advertising for the next Mass Effect because one of the aliens heads looks sleightly like a poop i took once. It's not understandable when it doesn't actually do what it's supposed to do.jonffm said:
Fuck, if they're just gonna waste money like that they could at least send some my way.
Nope, EA's marketing campaigns serve to amuse me constantly. I like Extra Credits, but I disagree with them because I believe that a company has a right to market their product in a way they see fit. Of course you're entitled to write emails to EA complaining about it as well so they can understand their consumer base better, but I actually enjoy most (not all, mind you) of EA's 'outside the box' advertising ideas.
you should have even more beef, because if EA keep pulling stupid crap like this and mature games get banned in america, we wont be getting them either because publishers simply wont sell them.. and the worst part is we wont even know why because it supposedly didnt matter to usFreelanceButler said:
I'm inclined to agree with you that Bioshock doesn't really feel or play much like an RPG, but I guess it's fair to say that Bioshock is as much an RPG as it is a survival horror shooter. I think that Bioshock doesn't know what it wants to be.Woodsey said:
If the industry really is a place where teenage shut-ins look ad ads like the DS2 one and say "lol! I'm sooo playing!", then I'm putting down my controller for ever. I'm all for freedom in marketing and rights to do whatever, but surely EA can do something that doesn't involve making gamers look like immature morons.
Haha fair enough. Not quite sure which of EA's many corporate email addresses one would use, anyway. For the record I love Extra Credits, love 'games as art' (I'm an art student working on game ideas hehe), but just wanted to point out that it's not just people like me who should be mad at EA for their marketing.FreelanceButler said:
Im an unfortunate Pessimist. I could, but I dont see it having any effect, as they probably set the spam filters to prevent these from getting through.
I expressed my feelings related to both EA and the video in the EC thread on the video itself. However, for the sake of your poll, I voted "What's the point?"Azex said:
You see, any other issue with the video aside, and I have several, they're preaching from the position that EA gives a damn about artistry and innovation, that shock was done for relavence and not dating corporate models, and that they might actually want to go back to not being a monolithic corporation.
what's the point of aping James and Daniel to EA? I don't like the whole "Sin to Win" and similar controversial materials deal, but even that's handled wrong by this video. Not only don't I want to send the message that I believe this interpretation of events, but I legitimately believe it will fall on deaf ears.
No point I have tried begging EA but they just don't care as long as the game sells they have done their job in their eyes. And lets be honest they are making money hand over fist why would they even listen ?
It won't happen but until people stop buying games they won't change why would they ? Because we asked them nicely ?
