  Wait what? They’ve made another alone in the dark game and haven’t promoted it. Oh god.

    Eyup and with tons of Day 1 DLC too! - store.steampowered.com/app/…/Alone_in_the_Dark/

    Because for some reason only things already ubiquitous get marketed these days

      I wouldn’t say 5 pieces of dlc totalling $20 is a lot. Not these days at least. Looks like they’re things you’d normally get in the “deluxe edition” of games past.

      Wouldn’t tempt me to open my wallet but it’s not as grotesque as a lot of dlc these days.

      the reason you’re looking for is capitalism. why would I bet marketing money on anything but the most likely big return? this is also why such a huge portion of movies are either reboots, sequels, prequels or “homages”.

        Yes, but the point of adveritsing is to convince someone to buy a product… if I already consume and know about said product, then what does advertising do besides waste money?

        Fuck the Dorito’s “Anti-Ad” was as close as these corpos got to figuring it out

  It suffered a fate worse than no promotion. It was Embracer’d
