So, whenever I see ads for low-rent games they always have ad lines now like "You'll never want to hang out with your friends!" "Your buddies will never see you again!" "You'll never want to leave your room!"

When did this actually become a selling point?

I have literally never seen that but man. That's a pretty low bar for marketing ;D

I always thought it was weird that "addictive" is a salable quality. It implies that people are out looking for games to feel dependent on, and the fact that that's probably true feels awful.

I tend to see that on really cheap games, like the various "Not-40K" MMO clones, or the "Fondle my boobs, my lord!" type of thing, but yeah I have legit seen that on at least a half-dozen different ads for different games now.

Xbox 180

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #3989 on:** June 19, 2013, 07:39:02 AM »

Yeah, saw that coming a mile away.

The reversal, or the joke?

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #3991 on:** June 19, 2013, 07:56:41 AM »

The reversal. I didn't even realize you had made a post.

I know it's not any consolation to wanting for the peerless esteem and regard of DN, but I thought it was a fabulous pun.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #3994 on:** June 19, 2013, 09:38:44 AM »

It was delightful pun.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #3995 on:** June 19, 2013, 09:40:57 AM »

It was for about five minutes after the news broke, and then EVERYBODY was saying it.

Anyway, judging from the reaction on the interwebs, this is simultaneously the best and worst news, proof that Microsoft is going to win and lose the next console generation, and just another ploy in their grand scheme to dominate the market by making everyone hate them, so the Kinect can track our movements and eating habits through the subdermal chips the government implanted in us at birth, open your eyes, sheeple!

I think they're still going to lose, and this blatant damage control isn't going to help them all that much in the face of the hundred dollar price gap, and the really sour taste that this has not washed out.

Mongrel · « **Reply #3997 on:** June 19, 2013, 10:23:59 AM »

No, but they probably have at least recovered from "total wipeout" to merely "third place this generation".

It's not like sphorts sphorts sphorts sphorts sphorts sports TELEVISION got a 180.

What Microsoft learned from this generation: don't advertise these things, attack the user with them after the purchase.
