Erm, shock gaming news


Colly

Recommended Posts

I just can't believe his marketing strategy of "This game rocks" under VERY subtle usernames actually managed to make this a 'success'. Fuck, I'm wasting my time going to uni. This is where the big bucks are.

Nope. Which makes this more shocking

My question was more "why are people in this thread saying the game was a success if nothing in the article or video claims the game was a success?"

Getting $1 million in "investment" (likely with some major strings attached) isn't the same thing as making $1 million through sales.

I'm starting to suspect that Dan or whatever his name is knows some people with cash. Remember how he said he'd invested $250,000 in making his shitty game for his shitty startup company? it's pretty clear that they've got money to burn coming from somewhere. Hell, Dan himself might be loaded.

Also a valid point.

My question is more 'where did you see anyone call it a success?'

IIRC, if you search for Serious Parody and/or his name, you get some stuff regarding casinos. Like, I think something or someone related to a casino is listed as a higher up type position within the SP company.

That sound more like it. I remember at the time it came out seeing other boards where he got less of a kicking than he did here but people weren't falling over themselves to praise him.

Though on second glance I suppose there are two ways to read that post.

And a lot of the early responses did seem to be incredulous rather than disbelieving.

I added qualifiers around that word for a reason :P.
