Gromnir Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 If they want me to advertise their brand on my body they should pay me, not vice versa. Brand fanboys are useful idiots for corporations. am recalling a number o' boardies lusting after the hoodie available via deadfire backing, yes? *shrug* personal, the only game developer swag we ever wore were cavedog entertainment, and is 'cause we genuine liked their logo and even their april fool's logo we did enjoy total annihilation, but it were the cavedog logo we liked for the t-shirt and hat and whatnot. HA! Good Fun!

HA! Good Fun! I didn't. Although I should clarify - I specifically meant company brands. I.e. that Obsidian logo. Like, band tour shirts are cool. Still a bit of walking advertisement, but okay. Record label shirts? That's that fine line Eddie Izzard described: "Dean Martin with one toothpick? Quite cool. Two toothpicks? Looking like a ****-head." Dragon Age shirt? Quite cool. BioWare logo shirt? Unless you're working for them, looking like a ****-head. And Playstation shoes is waaay higher up that list.
IndiraLightfoot Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Izzard is just a B and a L from a huge game dev/publisher, just saying... *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***

Tale Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 What the hell is going on, Sony?! I've now pre-ordered a Hunter, Kratos, and Crash. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Gromnir Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 so the following is actual a test? choose the poe t-shirt or mousepad is getting you rat pack membership, but select the obsidian t shirt and forever be dismissed... just another one o' those curiously bearded millennial d-bags who wears hats and sunglasses indoors, owns multiple designer cashmere hoodies and is as obsessed with social media as a socal teenage girl. choose wisely young hero.

Hurlshort Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Pretty weird industry where a small developer like Obsidian manages more projects at once than a massive one like Bioware. I get that the scales are different, but it sure seems like bad business to be all in like that. Do movie studios do this? 4

Do movie studios do this?Which is why (one of the reasons, anyway) some people believe we are headed for another industry crash. The 'middle' (middle studios and AA games) have largely already fallen out. That's a bad sign. Having only large 100 million dollars prodjects or 4 million dollar indies isn't a sign of a healthy market. 3

You're looking for a hard and fast rule where there isn't one. Let me explain it otherwise: People wear game shirts, movie shirts, etc. all the time. It means little. You're probably a fan. You wear a bunch of corporate brand crap, though? That's not the mark of a fan but a fanboy. I feel that the internet has supplied enough proof that fanboys are, essentially, the devil. A useful corporate tool, but in any other way horrific. There's a case-by-case scale. A 'Last of Us' t-shirt is not the same level as Sony Playstation 3 Sneakers. If you dress like a corporate tool, you probably are one. To go full godwin on it, the former's fine but the latter's like wearing a Waffen SS uniform. Sure, it's possible to wear one when you're NOT a Nazi, but that's unlikely and you can't blame others for thinking you are. Looking forward to you taking this much more seriously than it deserves again. 1
Hurlshort Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Eh, if the shoe fits. I really don't see the difference though. I prefer it when my workout gear is all the same brand.

ShadySands Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I'm mostly worried about Star Wars. New content is already few and far between. EA isn't going to make another Star Wars MMORPG and probably not another single player RPG either. Edited January 25, 2018 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21
Keyrock Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 That looks like a game that's really rad... that I would be really terrible at... Then I would write things in the What Are You Playing thread like I'm playing Iconoclasts and I really want to love this game. I mean, it's a great game, but I'm really terrible at it and it's frustrating the **** out of me. I need to stop, it's hurting my hands and my sanity. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
