I've gone from relieved I cancelled my preorder from this game to PROUD that I did so.
What disgusting shit. As a rabid Blood Money fan, I was pissed off enough they gutted the game, but the advertising, specifically this has confirmed that no-one attached to the entire project deserves my money. There are too many hard working indie developers who get game design and effective (read: non-offensive) marketing to waste your money on this complete clusterfuck.
Someone should lose their job over this. No hyperbole. It's disgusting.
Edit: Oh, and to answer this: 'Who looks at a Facebook app where you can call people out for their regrettable genitalia (among other insulting things) and threaten them with (fictional) murder, and says, "Yes! This is the direction our marketing campaign needs!"'
I would have to say it's someone who believes that there's no such thing as bad publicity. Because I literally cannot explain how any person who got far enough to be in a position to approve this could be so fucking stupid.
