[graboids]

only good part of visiting his facebook page is seeing the "You and Paul aren't Friends." message. I wonder what message the Mayor of Boston sees?

 

[brochiller]

add one more T to the company name then it would be perfect.

haha good idea..

[Gary Whitta]

Wow, so is he making semi veiled mafia threats in the first two letters to Gabe?

I think that's before he was told who Gabe is. Then it became a bipolar comedy of "I love Penny Arcade/Penny Arcade sucks!" and "You are nothing to me/Will I see you at CES?"

Kids, stay in school and don't do drugs.

 

[Sethtimus Prime]

The sad part about this is: no, he didn't. Once the initial uproar dies down, he probably insured a sweet gig at a more cut-throat type of PR agency that sees this type of behavior as desirable. And before anyone starts calling me names or feels the need to belittle my intelligence, I have two words:

Bobby Kotick.

Remember, in the business world, being a mouthbreathing shitpile isn't a bad thing, it's a bullet point on your resume.

I don't think so. Companies hire PR people to prevent this kind of shit from happening.

 

[Gary Whitta]

I worked for Bank of America; I worked under bosses far worse than this guy.

Therefore, being awful at your job is always a plus. Excellent logic.

not yet anyway

Luckily for him.4chan is on christmas mode right now

Yet. You forgot the word Yet. I'm sure they'll be joining in soon enough.

I find all of my internal interactions with employees to be a direct reflection of how I expect them to interact with customers. In fact, if the next guy that walks through the door doesn't get an earful about what a fraud Drew Brees is, I am going to fire Johnson immediately.

Was this guy ever a hero?

 

[Emitan]

Oh god, been reading some of the tweets on Reddit. This is... amazing. This is truly a modern drama.

 

[WarMacheen]

had he fixed the original problem and then promptly died, he could have.

In his own mind.

He was at war with himself. One friendly conversation could lead to him being able to namedrop the creator of Penny Arcade ad nauseum - but he also cannot take shit from anyone under any circumstance, ever.

 

[Cruzader]

So can Nintendo or Sony send some ninjas to beat this Guy's ass?

 

[Sethtimus Prime]

Was this guy ever a hero?

From what I've been reading, the customer service was kinda bad before he came along. Then he took over and decided to take what was left and wipe his ass with it.

 

[Owlowiscious]

What the fuck is that thing? No seriously. What the fuck am I looking at? I don't even understand.

keep your thumbs on the sticks; never take them off. there's two rubber ribbons along the bottom. use your middle, ring, and/or pinky to pull the ribbon: you're pulling the L2/R2 triggers. extend your left index to hit the blue lined stick: you're pressing X. extend your right index to hit the yellow lined stick: you're hitting Y. nudge your right index finger up to hit the red lined nub thing covering your index finger's first joint: you're hitting B. All this without taking your thumbs off the two sticks so you can run and shoot and reload and aim and throw grenades and pick up items and switch weapons and whatever without taking your thumbs off the sticks. You do have to take your right thumb off the stick to hit A.

I like buttons...

 

[Souldriver]

I hope this guy gets what he deserves. My god, what a douche.

 

[GlamFM]

He seems to have cancelled his twitter account.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I worked for Bank of America; I worked under bosses far worse than this guy.

lol well say no more

Ok. Did the guy just basically delete the twitter account? Not seeing any tweets now and not seeing a picture on the twitter account either.

 

[Owlowiscious]

I'm just trying to explain it from their point of view. I know there are times I have to do "the claw" so I can have both thumbs on the sticks while making my right index into a claw shape to hit the a/b/x/y buttons. This alleviates some of that. The L2/R2 ribbons are removable so I would take those off and I personally wouldn't want them. But I can see the point in not wanting to do the claw.

 

[Freki]

He deleted his twitter timeline...
I think he's a bit scared...

 

[Magna_Mixalis]

Therefore, being awful at your job is always a plus. Excellent logic.

I. Never. Said. That.

I said that he'd probably be able to spin this into another gig once the shitstorm died down. It happens in the business world all the time. I'm not defending the guy; he deserves everything that's happening to him.

The B of A thing was just pointing out to someone else that I've worked in corporate America; people just as incompetent as this asshole get promoted all of the time.

That Ocean Marketing guy is all fail, baddest customer service ever. You can't tell shit like that to a customer, especially one like this!!!! D:

It's a great PR company that can make the biggest news blogs of the industry state that they do not and never will support a product.

Lol, and it's still spelled wrong.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I wake up and this is the first post I read. Wow. A wild ride indeed. Avenger controller is getting a ton of negative reviews on Amazon. Absolutely horrendous at PR. People blacklisted him already. An immediate career change sounds like a good idea before he gets fired. Oh wow, he changed his tweet. LOL

This guy isn't in the "business world". He's self employed (probably because no one would hire him already) and just very publicly ruined a client's good name. He's done

Ok come ON. This HAS to be a troll of some kind. There is no way "Stratagy" is sincere and unintentional.

Guys, there's another Marketting company by the name of "Ocean"...

Ocean Marketingg: http://twitter.com/#!/OceanMarketingg

Two "t"s? They can do better than that.

EDIT:

Nvm, same company...lol! First two "t"s, now two "g"s. What on earth.

 

[Mihos]

Should have been "OceanStrategery"
