The World is full of wankers

Taken from gametrailers.com, this article is hilarious! Ocean Marketing really have ruined any creditability that they may have had. It just goes to show that bullies, even ones with money, never win!

I’m not sure how to properly position the Ocean Marketing story here on SideMission, so I’m just going to link the tar out of it and let you enjoy the work of the many, many others that have already done excellent done work on this story.
It all started when Penny Arcade posted an email from a reader.  Give that link a smack for proper context.  It’s worth it.
So that happened, then all kinds of other shit happened.  This lovely recap is from Destuctoid.

In the hours following Ocean Marketing's public shaming, the unprofessional exploits of Paul Christoforo have become the latest Internet fascination — so much so that even insurance company Geico has gotten in on the fun.
The combined might of 4Chan, Reddit, Penny Arcade and other communities delivered vicious retribution to Christoforo. The Avenger Controller, which Ocean Marketing was representing, has been bombarded with negative reviews on Amazon, while the company's range of utterly awful Youtube videos have been swamped with dislikes and abusive comments.
Elsewhere, a website has popped up, dedicated to Christoforo's infamous "I wwebsite as on the internet" email.  Meanwhile, records of Christoforo's domestic abuse case (which he says was dropped) have started circulating the Internet, and his insincere apology to Penny Arcade seems to have only made matters worse.
Oh, and then there's the mounting evidence of plagiarism and further customer abuse that the man seems to have built his career around.
I think the most telling part of all this is how the non-gaming mother of a friend started talking about the "Ocean Marketing thing" of her own volition. The story has crossed over from a gaming story to a general consumer interest one. Don't be surprised to see mainstream news sources picking it up next.
Internet controversies move damn fast, eh? As for Paul himself? He seems to have started a new Twitter account after someone hijacked his original one (which he'd amusingly renamed "OceanStratagy"). After asking people not to call his house anymore, he announced he was taking time off. Probably for the best.
