Serious.

 

[Lashley]

What a random picture to post along with that comment

Pathetic what they're doing though. Hopefully (And likely inevitably) be a backlash.

 

[chugen]

looks like it's working

 

[CambriaRising]

So sleazy.

 

[Wario64]

Wow, really?

 

[Veldin]

I don't understand.

 

[LiK]

WTF

 

[desmax]

Oh wow

 

[TheRealTalker]

#ForShame

 

[PFD]

Wtf is hauppauge

 

[Nokterian]

What a bunch of scumbags jezus.

 

[Sendou]

I just can't understand what's going on in a person's head when they go on doing something like that. Very distasteful.

 

[Silky]

Wow.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Wow sleazy move

 

[Idba]

so random

much weird

very not normal

wow

 

[Marcel]

Sounds like someone at the Hauppauge HQ is going to be cleaning out his or her desk soon.

 

[Interfectum]

pretty gross

 

[Kriken]

That's... random and very sleazy

 

[BronsonLee]

I...can't even follow the thought process for using that picture. It's got nothing to do with the text at all, beyond like, getting lucky.

Just use Daft Punk dammit

 

[Mellahan]

That is so low. I mean wow.

 

[DeSolos]

Also using Kingdom Hearts promo art. I wonder how Disney/Square would feel about this.

 

[aly]

Wut. Just wow.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Fucking despicable. Goddamn.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Pretty gross.

 

[jiggles]

I guess they felt they could get away with it by using the Kingdom Hearts model of Genie, because VIDEOGAMES

 

[GuardianE]

what the hell

 

[Soulflarz]

Pathetic :/

 

[unknownhero]

[Kouriozan]

Disgusting.

 

[woen]

Serious.

I don't see the point of a thread here about this though, create xx pages of backslash ?

 

[Krejlooc]

I used happauge products for years and years until I bought their HD-PVR. What a piece of shit that capture device was. Launched with no real support, broken drivers, and an AC adapter that would kill the device. Never really worked properly.

This is just another reason I'll never return to them. I use an Avermedia Extreme Cap U3 now and I love it.

 

[Carl]

Hauppauge?

 

[The Llama]

Thats a bit weird.

 

[Marcel]

what a bunch of doucebags, really. who are these guys anyways?

Hauppauge?

They make external capture cards.

 

[LyleLanley]

This is really odd, they don't even reference him at all outside of the hashtags and the genie image.

 

[Omega]

Wtf is hauppauge

capturing device i think

kind of irrelevant with the consoles being able to record on their own. El Gato is also superior

 

[Krejlooc]

Happauge is one of the oldest and most used creators of TV tuner cards for PCs and capture devices. They're like the big dogs in that market.

They make external capture cards.

They make internal ones, too.

 

[KyleCross]

Just.... wut.

 

[Nibel]

What kind of fucked up human being comes up with the idea combining these two.

 

[Off-Kilter]

This is really odd, they don't even reference him at all outside of the hashtags and the genie image.

That's exactly the point. It's all to solely capitalize on the hashtag.

 

[backflip10019]

Stay classy!

And the big dog looks like an idiot for using a dead man in an advertisement for sponsorship.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Fucking despicable.

 

[PotionBleue]

Is this a 100% official account? I cannot find it

 

[Bitanator]

Kingdom Hearts Genie nonetheless, Dan Castellaneta was the voice

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

That's fucking disgusting.

 

[LiK]

Apparently they were hacked.

Edit: yes, I noticed it's not actually hacked. Fucked up.

 

[Marcel]

I wonder who the superhacker who causes all the stupid corporate PR moves in the world is. I think he or she gets a celebrity once in a while too.

I agree, this is so scummy. The way they dealt with the HD-PVR stuff was also scummy. Don't like this company anymore.
