I'm not even referring to selling this game in the first place, although that's certainly a questionable decision in its own right. No, I mean things like this: "The sequel to what some have called "the scariest game of all time""
Nobody over the age of 12 has called Slender the scariest game of all time, okay? Certainly nobody who has played enough horror games to make such a judgment has called it that. I understand that this is essentially marketing copy (note to fellow forum users: if you're a vapid enough person to feel compelled to point this out as if it serves as a justification for everything anyway, go ahead, I suspect I can't stop you). But in the past your marketing copy has at least done a reasonable job of emulating an intelligent adult who is enthusiastic about quality games. This marketing copy just emulates an underaged GameFAQs user.
All I'm saying is please have more respect for your customers' intelligence in the future.
