Hey guys,

Hope this doesn't get super ban hammered. I've been talking to some of the publishers I work with about the value of solid |OT| threads and some of them are excited about the prospect of getting those of you who create really robust |OT|s more info to do so.

We're still in the exploratory phase of setting this up but if any of you are interested let's talk about it in this thread.

Cheers,
Tony

 

[Snuggles]

Fuck that.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Oof, might not be the best time in the world to propose this!

 

[Ad Infinitum]

lol wtf is this shit

 

[Jinfash]

Let's not, please.

 

[Kyoufu]

No thank you.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

I ... don't think thats gonna end well, sorry.

 

[NewFresh]

Probably Definitely the worst time to make this thread.

 

[The Boat]

The content of the post, the nick, the tag and the avatar... it fits together so beautifully.

 

[Wario64]

You just opened up a can of worms Tony

 

[domstah]

Poor Tony.

Of all days to propose this ... Ha ha ha

Official Guidelines for Gaming OTs

• Do not be affiliated in any way with the game in question, whether as a developer, publisher, or marketer.
• Do not exceed one post in length unless you have a very good reason to.
• Focus on presenting the facts in a clear and concise manner. You can be stylish, but avoid being bloated, in formatting or bandwidth usage.
• Avoid letting hype distort your perspective. Don't fellate the game in the thread title or otherwise, doubly so if its marketing budget is reminiscent of Apple's bank statement. It doesn't need it, and you'll come off as a viral.
  
  .... (there's a few bullets omitted)

unfortunately marketers don't understand the point of this web site.

tell them "Thanks, but no thanks."

 

[Gintoki]

Not like this

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Oh man, this is gonna be good.

Though, Rockstar is definitely cool with this. All you have to do is ask. They sent me and Simo the font and a banner for the Max Payne 3 OT

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I like you Tony but this was really bad timing.

 

[noobasuar]

amazing timing with this thread.

I wouldn't be completely against developers helping out with the OT but I'd rather publishers didn't have a say.

 

[CambriaRising]

Will they give me free Doritos and Mountain Dew?

 

[Dresden]

I love you man.

I mean, it's probably happening already (cough ubisoft cough), so why not bring it out in the open.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Publishers should pay GAF for OTs.

Edit: or not

 

[toythatkills]

I'm calling joke

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Now, OT creators can truly indulge their fantasies of being viral marketers for game companies.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

This is... maybe a bad time for this.

 

[jaypah]

You just opened up a can of Mountain Dew Tony

Fixed. Good lord!

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

Lol, what did I miss?

I'll go ahead and delete the thread shortly but I'm totally baffled.

Cheers,
Tony

 

[Emitan]

Publishers/Developers should not be involved with fan made threads on a forum.

 

[Bururian]

nahh, I'd rather have people who want to play the game talk about it, not people that WANT to make me play it.

 

[Reiko]

Well... Ummmmm....

 

[Hot Coldman]

Should I just leave my PayPal details here so you can hand me the money? Tell SEGA they owe me £500 for the SA2 OT.

 

[Acosta]

Tony, not the best idea to bring this now.

 

[duckroll]

if any of you are interested let's talk about it in this thread.

No.

 

[EviLore]

Highly inappropriate to propose this publicly, and explicitly against our rules (as seen above). Crosses the line.
