If marketing firms are where gaming companies are getting their executive talent from - it's no wonder things are as fucked up as they are in this industry.
I worked at a big marketing firm for 6 months, and until this day the worse human beings I have ever met in my life were met there. Everything is a lie, everything is a smoke screen. You might say "Well, that's what marketing's about" - but that shit trickles down into the marketer's personality, that's what I'm talking about. They're terrible people, always looking for ways to manipulate and exploit others in any conceivable way. And it wasn't just me, all the tech/finance/business people hated marketers. It's almost like you're required to be evil to be the most effective marketer possible. A marketer with integrity isn't going to generate half the revenue an asshole marketer will, so the assholes inevitably take over the firm.
