where are you looking for those advertisements?
where are you looking for those advertisements?
On billboards and posters and magazines other than video game-only magazines.
Is that your final answer?
I do enjoy your rhetorical technique of evading the points that debase your argument.
be more specific. Give the names of the publications
Something just feels like it's not as popular in mainstream media as it should be. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't seem that way.Originally Posted by Ouch!
And I would like to see it in Entertainment magazine.
Is that your final answer?
don't ignore my question.
I didn't! I just said that I wanted it to be in Entertainment magazine, and advertised in the same was as movies are: on billboards.
Is that your final answer?
"It just doesn't seem that way," doesn't hold ground in an argument, so excuse me if I disregard your opinion as baseless.
Further, you seem to really miss the concept of target audiences if you want to see video game ads in "entertainment" magazines. Video games have their own bunch of magazines because while a popular medium, it is also a niche medium. This is why it tends to keep to its own. That aside, more interaction between media is beginning to occur. Video game cartoon shows have happened in the past, but have fallen on the wayside in favor of movie adaptations (which are abundant, but unfortunately just not very good). Video games are very popular, but that popularity is still rather new. The industry will continue to develop towards integration, but I don't necessarily think it will be in the way that you're suggesting.
I'd actually argue that video game advertisements (which seem to be primarily online), are actually ahead of the curve. Dropping back to advertising more heavily in television or magazines or billboards would be a step backwards. That type of advertising is dying in our technologically advancing world. TV and radio spots aren't what they once were, and how effective do you think billboards really are?
I would advise that you stay away from a career in marketing, sir.
erm, you have no idea what your talking about. Entertainment weekly already has a section devoted to reviewing video games, just not in every single issue
Also billboards are ugly
Do they really have a video game section in Entertainment Weekly? I haven't seen one.
I'd also like to see video game reviews in the entertainment section of newspapers such as The New York Times.
Is that your final answer?
You mean stuff like this? Stop shooting yourself in the foot, dude. You've lost this one. Granted, I'm not sure if that actually ran in the print edition, but print news is so dead anyway that if you start harping on that one, I'm just going to laugh at you.
or this?

Let's review what SM originally said in the beginning of this topic.
His current view is now devolved into:
You're not even trying any more.
Yeah, something like that...
Is that your final answer?
what exactly do you mean then?
