Boobs Sell Games, According to Activision

[carpathic]

Really? No shit...boobs could sell something as repugnant as Nazis let alone videogames

I just watched a pole dancer do her thing for 30 seconds. Apparently this is supposed to get me hyped up for a new game? Didn't work.

Thought the same thing of DoA: Paradise. This shit just doesn't sell me.

 

[Salviar]

Unless this is what you got to do in the game, I'd say it's false advertising.

 

[cobra_ky]

BREAKING NEWS!

No shit Sherlock. The people who you sell the game to will just be a bunch of sweaty, pubescent, 13 year old chronic masturbating assfucks.

Actually, the sweaty, chronically masturbating assfucks who attend GDC tend to be much older.

Also, while we're on the subject, will someone tell me why pole dancing isn't a sport yet?

 

[Owlsensei]

So... what happens when they want to sell games to women(don't laugh) do we get Chippendales?

And I don't like how that pole is shaking, hope it was safe.

 

[Irridium]

This just makes me want to go see a stripper, rather than play the game...

And what about the women folk? Do they get male strippers or something?

 

[AWAR]

True crime? Well the first one was cool, the second got REALLY out of hand..

 

[Radu889]

How do I become a pole ninja?

 

[Byers]

I'm not sure how well their strategy works.

If there's strippers and free drinks, watching or playing game demos would be the last thing on my mind.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

is it me or Activision is getting more like EA ?

 

[Marsell]

HOLY SHIT!
boobs sell games? we must all be perverts!

 

[Ralphfromdk]

if boobs sell so well, how come MW2 is the best selling game of all time, without any boobs involved..? not even a single man-tit on soap or anyone else...

your logic is flawed Activision... or did you just think that it would be unfair to everybody else if you put boobs in the game..?

oh dears... i've said boob to many times by now

 

[WhiteRat07]

Sex doesn't sell to me well at all. If anything this made me think it must suck if they went this over top to advertise it.

 

[NLS]

I thought GDC was more about the technology and ideas behind development of new games and less about boobs.

 

[Gindil]

See? I know what they're doing. But the part about the stripper? That just muddled my thoughts. It's like watching Bayonetta IRL. I may never play another Activision game, but I'll thank them for the strippers.

 

[Wakefield]

I hate Activision. This is disgusting.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Whoa, that girl's got some strength.

 

[lawdjayee]

Gee, I thought mainly industry types and media attended events like GDC...so...isn't the intended audience for this performance...the guy that wrote this article? And not people who might buy the game? PLEASE.
