Video Game Marketing

[Kreekakon]

what on earth posessed them to advertise a hardcore RTS like a casual GOW clone i will never know. a foolish and misquisded attempt to boost sales perhaps?

Looking back now, I should've worded my thought on cinematic trailers better. Cinematic trailers are good for advertising a game's presentation, especially the story. The point of this Starcraft 2 trailer was to advertise the story, and the conflicts that you will encounter in the game. The focus was not gameplay. There are plenty of Starcraft 2 gameplay videos too, quite a lot actually.

What I should've said is that I like cinematic trailers trying to illustrate a game's presentation, but I do not like it when ALL they release are cinematic trailers, and never release gameplay videos until a week before release.

EDIT: Also, there are no such things as used copies of Starcraft 2, only used accounts. Once you buy the game, it will lock onto your battle.net account.
