I keep up with type moon as much as a normal person with a life and other interests can, and I didn’t know about the tsukihime release until a week after when I decided to open reddit and saw a discussions thread. Crazy how little faith they have in us

Couldn’t agree more!

I’ve been researching marketing on game projects since I’ve been working on a project of my own. But truth be told, I kinda hated it. I really loathed marketing.

But this post kinda opened my eyes as to why I hated it; because most marketing I am subject to is the “bad” kind of marketing you are describing. So I thought if I will have to market, I will have to do the same kind of marketing, since it’s so omnipresent.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. The entire value angle really goes a long way of making marketing not feel sleazy. That I can be better than what I hate, and that marketing doesn’t have to inherently be bad.

Which in hindsight; yeah, makes sense. But when all you see is what you describe as time-wasters, it is hard to not view it as the entire field.

So, thank you. The proposition of having to do marketing seems a lot less daunting and cheap now.
