Bard's Tale Pokes Fun at Game Leaks

Posted by Zonk on from the warezvertizing dept.

ZIA writes "In response to the continued trend of games being warezed before release, inXile Entertainment, developers of the forthcoming action role-playing game The Bard's Tale, have sent out an amusing press release that pokes fun at the issue. "The Bard's Tale is a highly original game in the same category as a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Half-Life 2 and Halo 2 so we feel some sort of leak that sounds similar to what they have experienced may be the next logical step in our launch plans."

    But the funniest thing has got to be the flash they have up on the Bard's Tale site.

    Try mousing over the woman's breast area several times, after the 6th or 7th time it launches a page on sexual harrasment :)

      For something even funnier, move the mouse over the bard's nether regions a couple times. Not only will he rebuff you, but eventually the barmaid tells you in a deep man's voice to try the Prancing Pony down the street...

    The best way to market a product (If it deserves to live) is to let the public have it.
