5 Reasons Why I Love/Hate Video Games - An Open Letter

3. The People Of Public Relations

Rsz Img 0053 To all the members of the public relations side of the industry, stop. Well no. Don't stop, but calm down. Seriously. Do not slap members of the rent-a-breast talent agency in the front entrance to the expo shoving QR codes in my hand every time I nip out for a phone call or a smoke €“ thanks Carmageddon. Do spend your time moving down the queue talking to prospective buyers telling them what to expect in their upcoming demo and how long their wait is going to be €“ thanks Besthesda. Do not disallow me, a member of the press who is trying to promote your game, to take footage for B-Roll €“ thanks Activision. Do make a practice of being open and honest when talking about your titles. Do not have two people manning one machine and only one person manning four. It's all pretty simple.
