Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. |
I got this email late last night from the Fury website:
Chances are?. you are a
Or will you prove us wrong? 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 |
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. |

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. |

Originally posted by fusionx212 I would hardly describe an insulting email to potential new customers as a "gutsy marketing strategy" -- an idiotic strategy maybe, but not not "gutsy." A better approach might have been something along the lines of: "Do you enjoy challenging, fun gameplay? Here's what our game has to offer and here's why we think you'll enjoy it. It's free to play, so why not give it a try today? We think you'll have a blast!"
