1. I know some of you are very dumb and do not read the post before you waste everyone's time typing garbage nobody cares about. I know that you feel like an entitled 12 year old delusional fanboy or a die hard halo fan to the bitter end who will fall on a grenade for bungie But why are you defending activision.. 2. I am a fan of halo bungie as well, but I can tell you right now that this is not the bungie that made halo. They wouldn't resort to these kind of deceptive marketing schemes. 3. Here's a paper on how visual perception sparks a cognitive response in your brain, and add the effect of human nature to explore new concepts or ideas (video games). www.pnas.org/content/98/22/12340.full by S Shimojo - ‎2001 - ‎Cited by 9 - ‎Related articles Recent studies of visual perception have begun to reveal the connection between neuronal activity in the brain and conscious visual experience. Transcranial ... 4. Here are examples of what bungivision used to build hype around the game to boost sales of what "might" be featured in the game. Before you get all your Lacey panties in a bunch here are the empty promises and deceptive images right here: A. https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=FLHlF92KXgHyftWkLVxE8I4Q&v=UwegkFBT--A# B. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLABTYufn90#t=89 C. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhNkK4h1oVk#t=68 D. http://youtu.be/BTfhrONAp-c Bungie rep clearly states "all of this is playable space, that we hope to one day get to send you to" - notice that bold bit is so often left out of this quote (video D) "Bungie was pretty clear on this - that area is real geometry that they one day hope to send us to - via a content update or DLC or whatever - it is clear though that it isn't a part of the launch game when taken in context. This is no lie - it's just presented as such by people who got their panties in a twist because they were hoping for more than they had any realistic reason to hope for" What this quote is saying is that they built all this space and used it in the video to drive initial consumers buy the game based on content but it may actually be in another game, dlc or not even be in the game at all. 5. If you actually had the intellectual capacity to make it through that, and feel strongly enough for the cause. We as gamers have the power to change the gaming industry as it stands back to its roots by removing large corporations from the equation. Investors will finance smaller gaming companies and bring back games made by gamers rather than games made by corporations that use deceptive marketing tools to stimulate your brain and make you purchase more and more dlc. Then release another game every two years and continue the 2000's consumer hamster wheel. 6. This will cause another video game crash, it's like our own internet French Revolution. You will find the reason for the crash very analogous to our present situation. http://youtu.be/K4iW57DdCTw 1983. I Still believe it was too many bad games for the Atari 2600 that caused this crash. We need a movement but our only setback is that we are plagued with a new generation of lazy gamers who just gobble up anything put in front of them and do not question and even defend this hunk of shit they purchased. I made a post about how to sue them (not by the conventional means of lawsuits), bungie let it stay up for a week or so but realized since it was actually going to work bungie felt threatened and ninjad my thread... It wasn't even deej, it was a real bungie employee. I simply don't give a -blam!- if my whole account is banned anymore You get a group of 200,000 people plus from all different parts of the world to file a 150 dollar small claims lawsuit for "unfair and deceptive business practices" against activision for using dev blogs and premature ideas as a marketing strategy to build "hype" around the sale of a video game in conjunction with buying reviews before the game is released which there is lots of evidence available to the public. They will have to hire a team of lawyers for each jurisdiction for each state/ province and country the multiple lawsuits are in. This will tie up courts for years 2-5 and they will have to pay all those lawyers, they will also be required to meet occasionally for the strongest response against the allegations which will fail due to different laws within the jurisdictions. The amount of time needed gets very costly very quick for even large corporations. This has been done against Walmart and Wall Street mergers; to stop or put the brakes on corporate mergers, so it's proven to work... As a legal loophole. And ps: tos does not apply to a lawsuit that deals with deceptive business practices http://www.consumerinformation.ca/eic/site/032.nsf/eng/00072.html http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/LOC/complete/statreg/--%20B%20--/Business%20Practices%20and%20Consumer%20Protection%20Act%20[SBC%202004]%20c.%202/00_Act/04002_02.xml
