Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing. -OWH

I got this email late last night from the Fury website:

 

Chances are?. you are a


LOSER!

Or will you prove us wrong?
http://www.unleashthefury.com
In the 3 months since release, tens of thousands of people have played FURY and every single one of them has lost at least one game! That?s right ? not one unbeaten player exists in our database. And the stats show that once you have won 3 games, you are extremely likely to play dozens, if not hundreds more games.
So, we?d love you to come back and check out all the changes and improvements and discover that winning feeling.
For a start it is easier to stay alive now, and there are new game types specifically designed for new players. We have also added AI Bots (and they love losing), new gametypes, new maps, fixed the GUI lag and hundreds of bugs plus loads of other stuff. You can find out more about all the changes at http://www.unleashthefury.com/ageofthechosen
We have also introduced the Chosen which allows you to play FREE FOREVER. Why not show your friends you are not a loser as well by bringing them along, they can play for FREE! Just get them to follow the instructions found here http://www.unleashthefury.com/free2play
Cya in game (unless, of course, you want to remain a loser).
The FURY Team

Now, I'm no genius, but would you really want to insult a potential customer repeatedly in an email?  The subject line of the message was: "Loser! Loser! LLLOOOOSSSSEEEERRRR!"  In total, they referred to me as a loser 6 times in this one email.  If this is what the company is like, I can just imagine the trash talking maturity level inside the game. 

No thanks!

Oh my god.

That is wrong on so many levels. Not to mention pathetic. I'd definitely post that on their official forums and ask them if that's in any way a professional way to treat customers.

To me they are just a bunch of sad ass losers who can't put together a game that holds my attention for 5 minutes, and them having to resort to emails like that proves my point.

I got so much
trouble on my mind
Refuse to lose.

I say , finally a marketing with guts.

It is funny and challenging. A gauntlet.

 

And people that whine "I am insulted" are just the very reason why everything is so lukewarm , limonade , political correct

I got the exact same E-mail and now Auran games goes directly to my spam folder. I've been receiving their emails since beta, hoping the game would eventually improve but this latest idiocy shows I'm not their target audience if they thing something so transparent and juvenile is going to inspire me to play their crap game again.

"Eye for an Eye"

I got the e-mail too, and now I have another FREE game to play . Downloading the client now.

I <3 f2p

I personally enjoyed the beta, but as a pay to play title it just didn't have enough inside the game, it felt like a mod of a game engine. It is a great f2p game and shouldn't be over looked because of bad marketing.

This is a huge step up for the f2p market.

Just another fine example of the immature nimrods running the game. Gee, wonder why it failed?

Fury is a fun game with great potential for pvp. I liked the idea of a gutsy marketing strategey why not it beats half the soft labaled adverts around if you dont like it dont play it.
