Chris promises no more product placement

This is by far the worst thread that I've ever read on the internet ever.

I'm absolutely disgusted with all the whining, temper tantrums, threats to quit and so on. It's awful. Never in my life have I witnessed such a [Removed] over what is essentially *nothing*.

This is the first time in 40+ years, that I can honestly say I'm embarrassed to be a gamer, if this is the company I keep. [Removed]

Wake me up when you can buy exalted orbs on the cash shop, but until then - these footprints are not harming a single person and it doesn't matter how loudly you cry and stamp your feet. Get over it.

Oh, and I wear mine about town on purpose, [Removed]

Can you put yourself in the shoes of a person who tried several Razer products and had them break down quickly, and despite paying money to GGG, is now forced to be reminded of their negative experiences every time they log into town?

In a medieval fantasy game, there are warriors who have fought bravely and gathered great amounts of power, whether arcane or physical. Grand heroes of bloody might can very much conceivably have gore footprints, or have tamed a rhoa and imbued it with enough magical might to glow with mystical barding.

No amount of magic will cause a Marauder to independently invent a computer, graphical processing unit, mouse, keyboard, and then code his own gaming peripheral software called Razer Comms, and then magically imbue his footprints with it.

LOL

That is all.

Oh, and is this nugget of comedic genius too long for a sig? Because wisdom of this caliber deserves to live forever on the internet.

Thank you for making this thread that little bit worse.

can't you [Removed] just be proud that the indie company that brought you this monster of a game is finally getting some love and publicity from a mainstream gaming company? idk if they got money or not, but really what's fckng wrong with that?

what's wrong with a chaos-like green snake-like tripod effect when you run in town? oh i know! because it's -


yea, i too can't understand what the fuzz is about. only reason i can think of is that egoistic CRABS who donated are pissed coz we got free effects. BUT not of all them supporters are like this -the way i see it, even exalted, divine supporters, rulers are also confused as to why those crabs are condemning GGG. well what can i say, those supporters are real people, real human beings - not some crab finding prey.

ya crabs go request for GGG to add an option to remove those effects, so i can finally turn off your cartoony glowing swords, with FEATHERS falling off, not to mention the cute armored pet roa you have, coz they arent fitting of wraeclast. see how fcked up i sound?

I'm not actually sure if many of you are really clueless or choose to intentionally ignore the fact that GGG got no money out of this at all. Its a scratch-your-back thing. No. Money. At. All.

So please don't bring that up ever again.

so what did GGG get out of this deal?

i see a really small banner on razer website (website that you.. dont really visit that often, do you?). if someone uses sennh' headphones - are you visiting their webpage? no, rather not, because why?

so this is the scratching Razer did for GGG. one banner on a webpage with minor traffic if at all

price: outraged PoE community, many people leaving, general bad smell and 'virginity lost' for that 'moral and ethical game'.

meanwhile Razer got a bit of brand-recognition (good or bad - doesnt really matter. i didnt know about this brand, now i know - i prefer logitech mice and apple's kb anyway so no deal here)

that was a terrific deal. for razer.

"outraged community"? I'd be interested to see some stats on that. A handful of butthurt loudmouths does not represent "the community".

"many people leaving"? Again, show me the stats.

"bad smell and virginity lost"? We ain't in Kansas any more Dorothy... game is in open beta and all the unwashed masses have already sullied it with their dirty, dirty hands.

"moral and ethical game"? Oh noes, a mutually beneficial business agreement, with a little something for the players? It's IMMORAL!!! It's an outrage I tell you!!

LOL

Wait... This thread? For real? Someone missed the Diablo 3 forums at launch and for quite a while afterwards. Every thread was far worse than this...

But my two cents... I like the footprints. I wouldnt go any farther than microtransactions. But product placement seems okay there where it's mainly optional is just fine.

its just OPTIONAL you must not use it if you dont want....

better than be permanent with this footprint...

a unique would be cool... looking like a razor mouse -- permanent footprint inside :) lv 67 :)
