Oh no! Comments from other people! Yeah, EC really deserves crap for that.
Don't start that with me, all right? You're bordering on telling what and how to think and I'd appreciate it if you stopped.
Comments are from the people, I'm not faulting EC for that. I simply made an observation and gave my thoughts on it. You don't have to agree with it and I'm certainly not gonna force you to agree with it (not that I had the means to do it anyway).
Oddly enough, I DO remember the "she kicks real high" commercial. I just don't think it's as bad as a series of campaigns in a desperate attempt to shock people into buying the games through controversy.
I mean, seriously. You're complaining one commercial to entire ad campaigns? Multiple ad campaigns attempting solely to elicit a fiery response?
Yeah, talk about your false equivalence.
Okay, so they
are significantly different. At least, from what I could tell, EA more or less knew what was going on with their marketing campaigns. The DoA3 commercial I put up earlier literally did
nothing but reinforce stereotypes, both of the game itself and the people who play it. I fail to see how a couple of (tasteless) jokes did more damage than that.
And secondly, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm not. Either way you can calm that sardonic tone of yours down.
But this isn't about that. This is about EC, and I've already said my thoughts on them. Ergo, I really have no need to respond to this topic again.
And with that, I say good day.
