TV ads for PC Gaming

  • Well FreeLancer better have some kind of publicity because if MS does what they did to StarLancer, even if it was the best game on earth, the game won´t go far, if no one has heard of it, or care to hear about it. Though I say companies are aiming for the "Parents" class, since they are looking for presents for their kids, "Why not buy this game, it´s on T.V" Just hilarious.

    ---------------------------------------- No matter how big a problem seems, there would always be hope, as long as someone keeps trying.

  • Great games like System Shock 2 never got the recognition they deserve just becuase many people didnt know about it. I hope MS will advertise FL more, but not too much as to over hype it. --------------------- If I wanted smoke blown up my ass, I´d be at home with a pack of cigarettes and a short length of hose.

  • Most games rely on the advertising in magazines only. That would be fine if the magazines didn´t cost so much but buying a few magazines each month can get more expensive than buying a game every month. Let´s face it, most of the cover CD´s end up as coasters anyway so I prefer not to buy magazines at all. As a result, most of my games are bought from recommendation or reviews on the net.

  • Ive seen a couple more PC game ads, and a few more The Sims ones <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> ------------------------------ Me fail english? That´s umpossible

  • Well, your right about the High price of magazines. I only read dutch magazines because they contain less advertisments than english magazines witch are sold over here, and they are cheaper. But what I dislike most is that you have to wait for page 10 for the index.

  • Well, they have to get there money from sone where, and the more popular there magaize get the more money they will get from putting ads in. Wont you add more ads to make more money ? ------------------------------ Me fail english? That´s umpossible

  • Powerstation must be the worst for add´s, it even has adult chat phone things and rember this plystation and we all know children love that console. P.S Got Smackdown2 today, finally I can knock Kurt Angle of his crown. Yeah I am Irish, What you gonna do about it?

  • What I can´t understand is that most of the revenue for magazines comes from advertising. Since that´s the case, why do they still cost an arm and a leg to buy? The Average Mag here is between 5 and 6 UKP. Free CD? Funny, while they were in transition between floppies and CD, the magazine that had the floppies was significantly cheaper than the same one with a CD. Maybe the customers are not supposed to have a brain <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> -- If I missile throw a Havoc at ya.
