Support NeoGAF

This one is killing me, lmfao. My man Musk needs to try harder on cleansing bots on X.

Based on this one we know where some of the marketing money went.

News - Business - Ubisoft recently confirmed that it has pumped more money into marketing Star Wars Outlaws than any other game it has released

In a recent financial update, Ubisoft’s CEO revealed that the firm has put more money and effort into marketing Star Wars Outlaws than any other Ubisoft game ever released. He also stressed that the company expects a strong launch based on the ‘positive community sentiment’ circulating the...

lol they didn't even change the game title in that screenshot. "Hades II Early Access" lol

 

[T4keD0wN]

I imagine that the majority of twitter is just bots interacting with each other at this point.

 

[cireza]

In a way, this is a great example of why social media was a mistake.

 

[Alebrije]

It's a shame , not only in politics to fake news, polls, etc....now on videogames....

 

[ReBurn]

Are these the bots that got a free trip to Disneyland? Or automated bots?

 

[Draugoth]

They know the game doesnt appeal to the majority of audiences so they are forcing positive previews to get pre orders

 

[R6Rider]

That's crazy that they would do that!

Personally I think we should all look forward to Star Wars Outlaws later this year. I can't wait to explore the galaxy and go on an adventure as Kay Vess. May the force be with me on this adventure and who knows what awaits!

 

[LectureMaster]

In the screenshots all the bots are with the verified blue check, that means they really spent some money on it.

 

[Bloobs]

 

[Saber]

Disney is really going it all with this game, maybe because Star Wars franchise have being in a pretty bad shape thanks to the damage done by putrit series.

 

[bighugeguns]

Begun, the AI war has.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Delete that, Alejandra Ramirez is my gf.

Wow, can't wait to explore the galaxy.

 

[ManaByte]

I imagine that the majority of twitter is just bots interacting with each other at this point.

 

[Complistic]

Ubisoft, LOL

 

[Rentahamster]

Wow, bots say wow a lot.

 

[R6Rider]

Wow, bots say wow a lot.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Everyone does this and Twitter at this point isn't even humans interacting with each other.

That platform is basically destroyed at this point guys.

 

[ZoolNL]

Bots and AI are being used everywhere. Learn to live with it. Hell, most reviews are bought.

 

[Alebrije]

Star Wars Outlwas OT "Wow cant wait to explore the galaxy"

 

[Frwrd]

That's crazy that they would do that!

Better start practicing my blaster skills! Yay!

 

[Labadal]

Some of those bots, though.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Yup

This is the dead internet, we're in it.

 

[Quantum253]

Dead Internet Theory the thread. Bots are everywhere, from almost every review you read to random comments on every social media site. Doesn't surprise me, but they are mostly easy to spot. Just as you seen yesterday with the paid "Disneyland" sponsorships, reviews are already bought and paid

 

[The Cockatrice]

all companies do this u silly goose.

 

[jshackles]

"Early Access TBD 2024 seems lightyears away, but worth the wait" lol

 

[ReyBrujo]

Elon: All according to keikaku.

 

[Metnut]

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for

 

[Frwrd]

Begun, the AI war has.

 

[bender]

Don't blame us for your dog water taste in games, humans.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm honestly surprised big brands even bother with it. But then again, they've had profiles for awhile and they're just hanging on until the next big thing happens. But I feel like that's closer than further away at this point. Especially with the changes that are coming. It practically eliminates the engagement portion of what Twitter was in the first place. It's such a mess, the bots won, lol.

Don't blame us for your dog water taste in games, humans.

 

[night13x]

Star Wars Outlaws has reached critically aclaimed levels of success that only games like Elden Ring can dream of achiveing. With world class next gen art, drama, story, and action along with music perforced by the best musicians.

[Rentahamster]

Wow someone try this tactic on the bots.

 

[Alebrije]

 

[SJRB]

 

[FoxMcChief]

That scene is one of my favorites in the entire series. The defense lawyer was flabbergasted. Judge’s face was priceless.

 

[Billbofet]

This game's marketing has been a sight to behold.

That said, I can't wait to explore the galaxy!!! TBD 2024 cannot come fast enough!!

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

they are using technology to their advantage. Nothing wrong with it.

 

[proandrad]

How dare they, even astroturfing is being automated.

 

[Gambit2483]

Geez, Preorders for this game must be in the fucking gutter for Ubisoft to be going this hard.

 

[IDKFA]

Sounds like a plot idea for Black Mirror.

 

[semiconscious]

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for

was gonna say - they're not bots! they're droids!...

 

[IDKFA]

they are using technology to their advantage. Nothing wrong with it.

Deception?

They're using bots to spread fake praise and hype, with the goal that people will think it's natural and then buy the game.

How is this not wrong, or am I horribly out of touch with reality?

 

[Soodanim]

It's so commonplace now that it's easy to forget exactly what this is.

Companies are abusing social media, an idea about connecting people worldwide, by making thousands of fake accounts to pretend what they want to sell is worth buying.

We all know social media is largely little more than a cancer on society, but it doesn't make it any less shitty that companies are so willing to shit up anything and everything for a small boost to their marketing.

NeoGAF is the only place where you can exist and not be braindead or a bot.

def main(): try: # Code to generate tweets tweet = "Having a great time interacting with everyone!" print(tweet) except: print("Error: Bot malfunction detected! Having a great time though! ")# Simulating code executionmain()

 

[Portugeezer]

All these bots have a tacky fake excitement.

 

[kiphalfton]

they are using technology to their advantage. Nothing wrong with it.

How is this any different than astroturfing?

[OmegaSupreme]

Bots promote everything Disney these days. And Amazon. And Netflix. I refuse to believe anyone actually enjoys rings of power.
