Anyone else hear about this fiasco?
Dumb ass Marketting company president rips into a customer over email... who then forwards the emails over to Penny Arcade.
As a result? Dude's business just got sunk lmfao. Banned from all PAX events, and MAJOR bad PR so no company will want to touch him (the company he was representing at the time dropped his ass like a bag of rocks)

Ya read about this last week, pretty funny
I think grass root internet campaigns will be very effective this year, its was pretty effective in the mobile phone industry during 2011, especially over the last few months, a shitstorm was just brewed up I think like 3 days ago over at xda over locked bootloaders on the new Transformer Prime from Asus, they have already backtracked and said they would provide a tool to unlock the bootloader, just Google Verizon getting bitch slapped over their proposed $2 fee to pay your bill lol, all the tech blogs created a internet lynch mob and the FCC even got involved, well the idea got dropped pretty fast
Now if only it would work in the video game industry *cough BF3 cough*

I read that from start to finish. Good read.
How is that guy the marketing director? He can't even write a coherent sentence.

Legion is only useful in DDoS attacks or full-on raids. Think of them as pawns. Except you get 48 pawns while the other boards has 8.
Goons, lolcows, and cat abuse are pretty much the only times they ever do something.

I saw it on the news....
I thought it was pretty funny.
Greedy Corporation: "And this is how we're going to anally rape you with pinecones this year...." Old Customer Response: "Yes m'Lord" New Customer Response in the hundreds of thousands: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
