Less than three weeks before release...

Re: Less than three weeks before release...

Because some people are dumb and want something the day it comes out, it would be smart for 2K to try and maximize their profits so these people preorder and get the game...instead of waiting and buying it used.

I know I'm getting 2K, but their job should be to get new customers. They aren't gonna do that on twitter using hashtags and releasing little bits of info every week.

If they release some developer insights like they used to, or some real gameplay in hd...not only will it please us guys but also grab some people who might not get 2K.

I don't see "Because some people are dumb" being enough validation to put a lot of time and effort trying to sway fence riders into purchasing the game. I'd argue people that want to wait and purchase the game used are looking more for reasons not to purchase the game than reasons to purchase it. So unless the media being shown is of the home run/grand slam variety, they're going to see what they want to see - and more than likely continue to look at the game from a more negative perspective than positive. "Looks like 2K14.5" "Doesn't look like they touched the gameplay" are the type of ridiculous comments I'm sure we'd see.

I'd like to see more developer media myself, but I'd argue 2K likely gets far more bang for their buck with going the social media route than the big effort/[possible] little return of produced developer insight content - and I'm not into Twitter or the whole social media move. I did a quick search of anything with "insight" in the thread title; the replies/view counts aren't all that impressive. Granted it's just OS, but I don't know that they did a lot for selling the game as the years progressed:
