You think coverage of a marketing gimmick like the KFC game is overblown, just wait till you hear about *gestures vaguely towards the bulk of consumer entertainment*.

I know I'm being snarky. I absolutely believe we should analyse the relationships between companies, media, and consumers and catalyse change.

Yeah but at the same time, even if the KFC game is well-written, it’s being created to foster warm fuzzy (horny?) feelings about a brand and its spokesfigure. Meanwhile, games like Butterfly Soup which are far more deserving don’t get as much of a response from the big sites.

I don’t feel like pointing this out is in any way saying that things aren’t also routinely crass, cynical and misguided in other forms of entertainment coverage or anything like that.

I mean, I respect where you’re coming from on this, of course. We just clearly had different reactions to the piece, and that’s fine.
