High Voltage ponders revenge against an editor

But it is taken with their hands in the cookie jar developers 2 Conduit, High Voltage, have combined a beautiful large, that have agreed internally to write negative reviews of the book by an author who has crushed Conduit 2, The Dragon Ruby T. Michael Murdock. The fact, now confirmed by the emergence of internal email from Matt Corso urging his colleagues to review the book, has led to an official apology from the boss of High Voltage, Eric Nofsinger, who said the unprofessional behavior of the group .

Murdock Conduit 2 has reviewed the site Joystiq, giving it a five star and calling it creepy. We read the email part of the course, which is basically a call to arms full of underlying, "I think you'll be pleased to know that the editor of Joystiq Michael T. Murdock wrote a book available on Amazon.

It seems to have received the opinions discrete based on the feedback of six players. Michael has given us great pleasure to write a review for Conduit 2, then, to return the favor, feel free (of course read it first) review his book. " Nofsinger tries to read the email of course justified by the fact that it contains an invitation to read the book and judge with fairplay.

Your email has been sent to more than 70 people, but it has generated 70 negative reviews, it must be taken as a kind of inside joke. Course itself has responded to the accusations, saying: "Actually I wanted to buy the book to read as it was and whether he could afford the kind of judge our game as it did." Of course he also makes reference to the invitation moved everyone to read the book as a justification of the email.

The best answer to the standards of the gaming world scrambling to get by Murdock himself, accusing High Voltage to be trying to minimize an unpleasant fact: "I just do not feel remorse for what they did and think that the industry and players there laugh about. I hope this does not happen.

A software company should not shoot yourself in the foot hoping to stop limping. " For our part, we want to draw your attention to only a couple of questions in the margin. The first is that if even if the book was junk Murdock, a review will not be disqualified. It is said that a good critic must necessarily be a good writer.

These are two activities that are not related. The second issue is the clumsy attempt to justify the revenge made by High Voltage. It is clear that the email does not say explicitly what it means (there are rhetorical techniques that date back to ancient Greece and which are easily identifiable, but probably does not read Barthes High Voltage) and the fact that not all those who have received have endeavored to review the book of Murdock does not mean anything.

In these cases, just the thought and have created a precedent, that sounds very much like a mafia-style threat, making the proper proportions. Now we leave you, hoping the editor of this news should not be pierced with the wheels of the car from High Voltage. Source: Eurogamer. net
