Remember Electronic Arts defending lootboxes because it claimed they brought “a sense of pride and accomplishment” to players? So. That’s the sort of corporation we’re talking about. So it’s no surprise its marketing team tried to boss the creator around, to make something less true to their vision of the game but more marketable. Sex and gore sell; but if they fit that’s another can of worms, you know?
Dev team might want to find another publisher for its future games, though. Even if this one sells like ice cream in the desert, odds are EA will try to find ways to punish disobedience.
I’m reading a few old magazines from the late 80s atm, and EA is one of the best publishers. They have great customer support, invest in experimental games, have great packaging and reasonable prices. They got the readers award for best company two times in a row now. The magazine even sells EA t-shirts in their shop, in case you want to go out and show how supportive you are.
Reading these with the knowledge of today is so amusing and fun :)
They have gone the way of big corpo.
There should be a law around not capitalising every word of an extensive title. Especially when the title itself contains titles.
Titles of works are usually italicized, and where that’s not possible, placed in quotes.
But this headline contains quotes and titles and subtitles. Honestly it’s doing too much and should be cut down, but IGN is no paragon of journalism.
American McGee is so cool, it kinda sucks he got shafted from id, but then we wouldn’t have gotten Alice.
Make it sexy! No, not like that!
Still one of my favorite games.
Pasting dildos on top of snails? Aye, a good round of fun, but rather cruel for the little critters
This is one of those games that caught me totally off guard. I didn’t really know what to expect when i bought it on clearance one day but i remember playing the hell out of it.
Edit- the original “Alice” for PC.
Someone has to mod it into the game.
Total Chad move.
