Infinium to Infiltrate Gamer Forums

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday February 27, 2006 @09:55AM from the i'd-be-laughing-if-this-wasn't-so-desperate dept.

Opposable Thumbs, over at Ars Technica, points out something we have have overlooked last week when Infinium Labs opened its books. Besides dropping the Phantom in favour of getting the keyboard to market, one of their business plans calls for the company to "infiltrate best-in-class video game communities with simple, easy to understand message and seeding on tech blogs, gaming sites and on-line player forums with compelling imagery and links to lapboard eye candy." Because that's sure to net them some goodwill and customer loyalty.

This won't end well.

Forum administrators hate it when people go into their forum and start shilling for some company.

For their ad campaign to work, they're going to have to subvert members of the forum who have some credibility. A new account full of "this is teh c00l" posts is going to be ignored.
