Redner, the US PR company for 2K Games, has responded to the overwhelmingly bad reviews that Duke Nukem Forever has been getting in a rather unwise fashion.
“Too many went too far with their reviews…we are reviewing who gets games next time and who doesn’t based on today’s venom,” they twittered, suggesting that only positive reviewers would be subject to review code in the future.
2K Games ditched them immediately and distanced themselves from the comments before their main man, Randy Pitchford, himself twittered in defence of the frankly dogshit sequel. “”With sales data, It seems like *customers* love Duke. I guess sometimes we want greasy hamburgers instead of caviar..”
Now we may be missing something but surely buying something is an act of faith, not an endorsement of the product’s quality. In fact, we’re going to say what everyone has been thinking. 2K Games have gotten shit these days, haven’t they? Oh well, all will be forgiven if Colonial Marines lives up to our ridiculous expectations. Rich
