As well as clearly labeling the company she works for.

I think the lesson learned here is that its terribly naive for one poster to try and sway GAF's opinion of a game that we know isn't very good. Whether detective GAF came through or not on this one, this thread was never going to convince anyone.

Didn't know you were official spokesperson for GAF. Particularly for a game that's getting good, if not great, reviews.
Are you suggesting that he decided to do this independently, without authorization and without being paid, even though he runs a company that does the exact same thing for its clients?2K Elizabeth said:This thread totally set me on the warpath last night. I'm the person at 2K Games who would be in charge of setting this kind of stuff up - and I wanted to let you guys know that I've had a policy against any kind of shill for years. We simply don't do that. Why he posted this is beyond me, but we didn't send him. Both 2K Games and Gearbox would not do this to gamers.
Victrix said:For what it's worth, there's a similar negative response from another dev over at Shacknews about the shill. They could obviously both be doing damage control, but I've known the other one for a long time, shrug.

Pretty much.BobFromPikeCreek said:This thread is actually a tad bit upsetting. This moron had nothing to do with Gearbox or 2K, and yet the thread has turned into a giant, unwarranted hate-fest. I feel bad for everyone involved with the making of this game.

DaveKap said:As an ex-viral marketer, I can tell you this guy broke a lot of rules to keep yourself hidden, which makes me inclined to believe he was never contacted by 2K or Gearbox and was more or less practicing. Unfortunately he failed to be a good forum poster as well.
