Wet |
Wet, as some of you may know, is an upcoming third person shooter by Bethsda. You know, the people of Elder Scrolls, and the people who butchered FallOut. Well, Wet's a new game they're publishing, and I must say that I wont even be trying the fucker out. Why? Because of their viral marketing. They're not even holding back on this shit. The first viral marketing I saw for Wet was on JoyStiq. They had people comment on every post, about Wet. So, I'd be checking the new Rock Band Weekly, first reply was a thing for Wet. It eventually got so bad most JoyStiq memvers called for a boycott to Wet. Now, I go do my daily 4channing and I see them markerting that shit in /v/. Their viral spam advertising is making me hate the game more and more. From what I hear from everyone is that it's a very generic piece of shit third person shooter, with terrible Quick Time Events and Slow-mo. I really wonder why companies think spam is a good way for advertisement. Along with this type of advertisement, what about forum spam, or e-mail spam? How many of those really work? Also to be able to just spam you have to spend a lot of money, as I've never seen server hosters who allow spam. So you have to set up your own server, an all that fun stuff. Plus all the anti-spam acts/laws. I wonder if we'll ever reach a time where spam'll just die?
I say, the 'least they could've done is some cool Viral advertising. Like Cloverfield, Eat Led, and Quarantine. Those had some amazing viral marketing, that worked.
