Woah! I was not aware. Guess the sting from Fallout 76 still burns.
Given the outlets will be purchasing their copies, I can more earnestly look forward to their reviews.

Tassi has a point, and Bethesda's intern sounds like a forum celebrity who posts 20+ times a day and then act like others obsessively hunt their posts down to call them on their dumb shit.
I could rattle off release dates for games I don't care about. I just know them.
This is more on you than anything else.
Felt the same way about tew 2, Dishonored 2, prey and Wolfenstein 2. Bethesda has been terrible at marketing their games this gen.
Oh, my bad. Still feel like this games marketing needs a shot in the arm and good reviews could really help.
Lies. A doggo doesn't have the thumbs for video games.
I thought it was out already, which is actively worse than it still hasn't come out.... lol.
Yah, no one talks about the games in advance cuz they're not reviewing them.
I feel most people confuse "I don't know about the release date" with "I don't care about the game", which admittedly is a negative in the context of the game but there's way less projecting with the latter.
Personally I haven't seen a single ad for it outside of a bus stop ad that's down a street I walk past sometimes that is too far away to read.
I'm not sure why so many people are acting surprised that others just haven't payed attention to Rage 2 of all games.
This, for me, the last major time I saw Rage 2 promoted or heavily talked about was last E3 and only remember it for the odd live rock balled at the beginning of the presentation. After that, I only ever see it mentioned in passing.
I get that the social media PR for it is meant to be edgy in this way, and I read this as more of a self-deprecating joke (them appearing childish on purpose) than something meant as a serious attack towards the article, so it feels pretty on brand when you compare it to the constant remarks about Walmart Canada. But yeah, at the end of the day this was a bad idea.
lol ok. It's on me for not knowing the exact specific release date for a game I have zero interest it.
social media and youtube ads are targeted. Usually you have to have shown some interest in the game or similar to be served these ads. I haven't seen a single one for example. I only know it's soon because of activity here and seeing threads pop up, but I didn't know it was in 4 days.

oh man I have to be ready
game's gonna make us poop guys
I didn't know, seems like a lot of folks didn't and we're on an enthusiast board. Maybe they have a point.
the only way to beat the 'Pants Shitting' Stand is to arrive to the fight with your pants already full of shit
Considering the dude is supposedly an GG apologist from what someone told me, I am here for the dragging.
Man I haven't touched game pass (or my xbox) in quite some time not saying it's a good deal but I'm sure there's be some good deal come for the holidays on whatever platform.
What's wrong with being an Instagram model and why is it less legitimate than being part of the fashion industry? Do Instagram models not model fashionable products? Are they not successful?
Guess Paul Tassi indeed proved how terrible the Rage 2 marketing is
And i already thought all the previous media content was pretty bad

That's what I'm leaning towards honestly.
I think the game has made it clear its nothing like its predecessor but to each their own.
I actually thought it was later in the month. Plus, I think that some have gotten side tracked with other stuff; Days Gone, GoT, endgame, the NBA playoffs... there's a lot going on right now so they better kick their launch marketing on now or suffer the same fate as the first one.
Disagree OP, I think the article is valid and the fact that Bethesda treats news outlets like trash and streamers like hookers doesn't allow me to enjoy the fun being poked with this reply.
If you're mean on social media, regardless of if you're a random game fan, a developer or a journalist, don't be surprised when someone is mean back to you.
I don't give a shit about Rage or Forbes, but good on them for fighting back. That headline might not be clickbait, but it is pretty mean.

I can think of several ways that headline could be mean spirited and the original one sure isnt nowhere near the top
Unless youre incredibly sensitive about any kind of criticism or just not being enthusiastic about your product (which is your problem, not others) i dont see anything wrong with the forbes headline - its accurate, as you can see by this thread, many people didnt knew rage 2 was coming in four days.
I'm not sure why that means people should know the date it releases.
Eh I think the tweet is fine.
Some people seem sometimes bothered when marketing for something they care about is not targeting them quite enough. Rage 2 is not GTA, it's not gonna have an unavoidable juggernaut of a marketing campaign, that doesn't mean that Bethesda is dropping the ball. And who the fuck cares anyway.

I've blacklisted Forbes a long time ago for some of the worst and most clickbait articles ever.
I don't think anyone's arguing that what Bethesda is doing is illegal or not within their power; they're arguing that it's a bad look and has unfortunate implications for the relationship between press and publishers.

They're taking the shitty marketing literally.
