Chris promises no more product placement

I dont interpret his response as " you wont see anything Else like this ever again" just that we wont see anything more radical then cosmetics like the footprints
This is a crisis I knew had to come,
Destroying the balance I'd kept. |

I said - the game logo is implemented badly. Look at dragon age and mass effect and dead space. They implement their own logos in a way fitting those worlds, that are very different from each other. Armor themes are displayed on modern tech, and backwards. This could be a chest ornament - no problem there, or a flag/banner carried by the character in PvP. It could be a spell effect. The main problem is, that razor logo does not look like a footprint. Other then that, it's just a symbol. It has nothing to do with modern technology, because I could draw it with a blunt rock on charred ground. So could do a maruder.
PS. Google elitist jerks. Go there, preach something unpopular. Last edited by lososthefish#3348 on Sep 4, 2013, 5:11:33 AM

" lol " So it's conceivable to imagine a warrior, that with every step of his feet, blood gushes out onto the ground (but he doesn't bleed to death). Or that a traveler can condense enough energy to make his pet glow like a star. But in this world of high fantasy, it is somehow impossible for your character to invent pc gaming hardware? Have you tried not thinking about it so hard? I agree they're ugly, but unless you're zoomed it it's pretty hard to even tell what they are. This is truly a TINY issue to even be talking about, in a month I bet no one will be talking about "boo hoo razer footprints"...maybe we can get back to actually talking about the game.

adghar, you paid money either to Support (aka supporter packs, that gave what they described) or to get Microtransaction points.
I don't know how you get the Idea that paying for those things means that there won't be any 'advertisement'. That aside, it is understandable that people don't want their fantasy game plastered with brand logos of different corperations. But the outrage is way out of proportion. Have people lost all common sense and ability to express their discomfort in an appropiate scale? This is one instance of a subtle placement where GGG specificly said that they only did it because it isn't too out of place. (And let's be honest, many people don't even recognise it as a brand logo) And people act like this is the end of the world and there will be Billboards everywhere in the game and what not. I just don't get it. People being not happy with GGGs decision, fine. But nobody can justify this kind of outrage over something so petty. “Demons run when a good man goes to war"

Also, this outrage hurt business value of GGG for future agreements. Not to mention that the pc hardware company got some bad PR out of it.

" Did you know that product placement is illegal in some countries? And for pretty obvious reasons... how is that petty? We don't want that corporate crap in our faces when we play our games to escape from this very crap. |

" and why is that ? [Removed]( dunno why) mostly ppl who dont pay their own bills have no family have not even the slightest idea how hard it is to bring food on the table every day dare to voice their opinion about something that is so small its not even worth mentioning i for myself cant wait for the d3 expansion so all those bored kids go finally away https://poe-ssf.herokuapp.com/.

I'll just copy-paste this here:
Spoiler
" " my 2 cents. Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat
Shadow: That was fun |

" Care to elaborate? What are the samples your are basing this statements off? What I see is people jumping the gun. Most people in-game, actually enjoying the game, won't see it that much or won't care either. Simply based off the fact that the code is not given away to every player automatically. GGG however got Razer equipment to work with (maybe they even get prototypes to test their game with), advertisement of their game on Razer networks, which is actually pretty good and the goodwill of a high portion of players which got a footprint effect for free. I can imagine that especially customers which haven't yet paid anything were grateful for the free effect. So was the notion in the first moment of the codes given away anyway. It is pretty easy to see everything black & white. Chris statement does not falsify anything he said before. He basically repeated what he said in the Announcement and apologized for the uproar. |

Hey, hey think about it this way: you can recognize the players you don't want to play with by just looking at if they have the footprints. No need to waste a few maps to try it out.
So they're like Ed Hardy products IRL. |
