PewDiePie arguing

[Damascus Rose]

It really upsets me that FG chooses to use Pewdiepie (of all people) as publicity before even releasing an official trailer[...]

Well, the math is easy here: game development is a professional work for FG and thus their games needs to be sold. PDP has the biggest amount of subscribers AT ALL on Youtube thus, taking into account his popularity that jumped with Amnesia a lot, it was an obvious marketing choice which outweighs even hundreds of upset fans.

Money matters more in the end and this makes perfect sense.

PDP was going to play this game eventually anyway. Why did it have to be 2 weeks before the release that frictional has him make a montage? Then they advertise it as being a spoiler. Does this really make them more money? It probably does, but they pissed off a lot of longtime fans in the process and I thought frictional was better than that. Maybe I'm being too butthurt about this and it's really not a big deal but this is my natural feeling.

I know that this doesn't change the quality of the game but it really did take me by surprise.
