That's cute coming from the game that was in early access for nearly 3 years.
they also released it finished and excellent. everyone knows it's not complete if it's early access. however released game should be complete and finished
Doesn't mean they didn't market the game. That's the whole point of the post
I don't think they were even trying to claim that
""Marketing is dead," he said. "Marketing is dead. It truly is—I can back this shit up, man. There's no channels anymore—it doesn't work. You used to have marketing, communication, and PR. Marketing was essentially a retail theory—you were trying to get your box on the right point of the store shelf, and you have partnerships with retail stores. Those pipelines are gone. Now you've got the internet. Nobody is looking at ads anymore … all of the channels that we would usually market through are no longer really viable. So their function is also reduced by the fact that players just want to be spoken to. They don't want to be bamboozled—they just want to know what you're making and why you're making it and who it's for.""
they did market it, but with being honest. not giving some empty promises and over hyping like most of the game companies nowadays do
