Re: Marketing genius is the problem

In Response To: Marketing genius is the problem (Anaphiel) : How : would you feel if the MC showed up in the next game wearing a Nike swoosh : on his armor, just to get the marketing tie-in with the sneaker pimps? I'd be pretty cheesed off. We've already been told it's Keds with that product placement contract. : Wanna bet some of those billboards in New Mombasa end up bearing adverts : for real-world sponsors? Too late. Arby's, Starbucks, Tijuana Mamas, and various Xbox titles have already debuted there. It's a pity the samples were pulled down from b.net when the New Hotness arrived. Oh, and the 'Hog is a Chevy minivan now, IIRC. : And having it on the soundtrack but not in the game just seems weird : to me. To be perfectly straightforward on this, there are several movie soundtracks out there with songs not included in the on-screen. There's also the notorious practice of cramming a pop tune in the end-credits, such as the Men in Black soundtrack's "Fresh Prince" track or that last bit from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. Eugh. -- Steve's stopped trying to figure out the entertainment industry, and is just trying to go with the flow now.
