What Activision was Wrong. It sorta like what happened when Cartoon Network was putting up light brights in Boston only to some people thinking that it was bombs.
I loved Dante's inferno. I remember beating it wanting to beat it again right after I got done with it. I ended up beating it three times in a row. I really enjoyed it.
The Better Business Bureau are the OG’s of pay to win. They will contact your business to be included in their registry. If you accept you have to pay between 500$-1000$ depending on the size of your business. If you refuse or don’t pay them your company will still be included but with a automatic F rating. I’m over simplifying it but yeah they suck. Also they aren’t affiliated with the government at ALL! It’s a private business
I don't think anyone ever likes the videogame industry, rather video games. No one likes industries of any kinds, it's just another word for soul crushing & immoral.
Those old adverts that always have the female waiting in bed for sex while the, presumably male, partner goes to play video games are so incredibly stupid. 1) If you choose games over sex (unless you are asexual of course) speaks volumes of how bad your sex life is, rather than how good a game is. Either you, or your partner/s, or the combination of all involved, is really not well suited for each other, and 2) if you choose a good partner/s you will play the game together (alternative diff games each) and THEN have sex together, or the other way around, because you share common interests. If your partner doesn't turn off the pc/console at the point you poke your head in and ask "Horny?" there is something off. But I can accept variations of "I'll just need 15 mins, can you play with yourself as a starter and then I'll be right there" because that is never a bad idea.
Some of these are so interesting out of a sociological perspective. Like the free petrol thing at one station and not understanding how many people would mount up to cause traffic jams for it. Like they are completely oblivious to peoples needs and wants and what masses of people create.
I remember getting to demo the Virtual Boy at BlockBuster back in the day, though to the sales clerk’s disappointment, my mom didn’t think it was worth the price tag to get me one despite young me really enjoying it. Yeah, I was the oddball of the bunch, just sayin’. 😋
This reminds me... it wasn't exactly an ad campaign, and I know you don't cover facebook games, but this was such a blunder. By Zynga, the company behind FarmVille. In their game Hidden Chronicles, they decided to have a photo competition. The idea was that they'd give a new theme every day, and players could go out and find something to photograph that fit that theme, then upload it to a gallery where people could vote for the best picture. The winner was promised a trip to some holiday destination. Everything about it went wrong. Many people didn't notice that there was a theme to the pictures and just uploaded whatever crap they had lying around on their computer. Those who understood that there was a theme didn't understand that they were supposed to take the picture themselves. The first theme was "something old" and there were lots of pictures of the pyramids, the Earth and the universe - pictures that people certainly hadn't taken themselves and didn't own the copyright for. Even worse, the whole photograph thing was implemented so that you couldn't progress in the game unless you uploaded a picture. People had to take part in the competition whether they wanted or not. The game had millions of players and all of them were forced to upload something. How on earth did they think that it would be possible to vote for a winner when there were millions of pictures to choose from? It's not as if anyone would have had time to go through all of them. Oh, and the gallery where people were supposed to vote didn't work. It was almost impossible to move from one page to another without it crashing. The last time I looked at it, some baby picture had got the largest amount of votes. I don't know if they ever gave the prize to anyone or just quietly buried the whole thing.
I do remember the fake terrorist attack. It was so crazy and almost caused a panic upon the public and when it was revealed to be a advertisement for Call of Duty… well you know what happened afterward.
