Is this conversation STILL going on?? Gameloft is shallow, but innocent, Mortal Combat is not worth playing unless your a HARDCORE FPS fan, end topic already, geez!
I believe the audience is enough mature here to understand how high is your profile and the quality of your post on the topic, and don't patronize me please. If TA wants more of developer feedback they should really screen a little the members because if we feel offended when we post some concerns on a an interesting topic (and they are rare), then naturaly we won' stay.
I am refering to people who has the insight of the game industry as opposed to others who has not and may just guess wrong or just on the topic.
@Carlo You do realize that this a public forum right? I am a mere consumer so am I forbiden to post here too? A gaming co that I like ( yes since my java phone days) is under attack, is it a bitter sin to do so? I would do the same for you but today is the only time I learn about your co. and I am sorry to say that my first impression about you is not good.
Sorry, I didn't really go through the posts, but I just want to say incase somebody else hasn't, if you check the profile of the reviewers on iTunes I haven't found a single one that's only given one good review to gameloft, everybody's given multiple reviews to a variety of devs.
Your business sense is way off. Devs that posted are benefited with more recognition for your game, better consumer feedback and at some point better sales. If anything it is you Devs that should be kind to consumers because we are the one that will buy your product, you should take some pointers from John, Timo ,Josh and especially Kyle poole who I critic as well but never stoop low to bite my head off. In return I gave their games my endorsement to all my friends with an idevice. If you don't post here about your game who will be in the losing end?
I am sorry if you think so, honestly, i do not post that much in that forum, a mere 80 post in the last 9 months, so i thought there were here a discussion about fake reviews, i wanted to participate to that discussion because i found it interesting, that's all... I posted just one post stating that i am against fake reviews, and who could be for "fake reviews" ? Then the war started because somebody thought i was against GameLoft but i am not, i like GameLoft, they are from the same country i am, so, i am rather proud of what they are achieving. If you read carefully, i did not even mention the name of the publisher in my post, that's so sad!!! I will quit this forum, i don't feel very good posting here anymore.
@Carlo this is the Internet. If it is any consolation this forum is quite polite compared to about 80% of the other gaming websites I been to. If you can't live with occasional flame wars then I suggest you chose another endevour! I'm sorry but that the way it is.
Re: TUAW Article: I'm sure the Gameloft "PR Rep" is going to admit to creating 50+ shill accounts to boost his company's rating DAYS after a developer and his 1100+ apps were removed from the App Store for doing the exact same thing. The facts are simple. Let people draw their own logical conclusion. Cheers!
"Perhaps a review flag saying 'a promotional code was provided to this reviewer' would identify the worst of the abuses." - Tuaw website That's not a bad idea at all.
Well you and your supposed 'Breaking news' turns out to be a dud or what they called 'Imagined'. Let it go and save face.
Whoa Noah, you sound like someone I know. I have a suspicion but now I feel that it's a dead strike. Cheers.
