So not only do you have to buy it...you have to spend it, too. I can just imagine some of those company meetings.
It sounds like their marketing department have moved up in the world. They used to be street pushers, but now get to wear suits.

That reminds me of a song about Eric Bauman - "...He hired some male prostitutes, dressed them up in three-piece suits, and this faithful team of lawyers made the internet his bitch..."
I mean cmon... I've never bought SC before, and even if I was still playing, I would't buy it now.

Ugh. Eric Bauman should die in a fire. But that's another topic. Every time I see some promotion like this, it makes me think Outspark is trying to pump and dump.

We should expect no less from them - after all, they have a business to run. I think I said this before: it's about money. With the provision of more games such as BlackShot and ProjectPowder, Outspark needs more income. We can't expect them to be nice forever.
Everything that has a beginning has an end. (want to watch Matrix again. lol)

Only if you watch the first one and don't go on. That trilogy...gah. Anyway. There's one thing to have a business model that relies on your base to buy items...and then there's turning the whole thing into a walking commercial only designed to get you to buy, buy, buy. They're turning into used car salesmen.

I couldn't agree more. I saw their advertising in-game almost every 5 minutes.

=/ Those are really really unfair. Just because people dont buy sc doesnt mean they dont want to be included and have fun.

They have more than enough in-game events to be enjoyed by both non-users and CS users. It's only 'fair' for the CS users to receive perks I suppose. But there has been events where you didn't have to invest in the game to win something...
Just part of any game, not just Outspark. Give em a break, they need to eat too.
