IN GAME ADVERTISING… YES, YOU CAN GO TOO FAR

But… I have to equip it! My PizzaHut™ box shield gives me a +5 agility bonus from its greasiness! Oh, the pizza frying pan weapon? Yeah I just equip that ’cause it looks cool.

Every company now wants a slice of the action. While this may be panned by some and seen as cheesy and over the top(pings) the sauce of the problem is money. Users will have to just eat up what's dished out to them.

"How dare you accuse me of selling out! I'm so angry, the only thing that can calm me down is the smooth, refreshing taste of Mountain Dew. Of course, after that I'll need to go get a new pair of boots from JC Penny. Then I can stylishly shop for a new car over at..."

+5 for not being motivational.
You COULD'VE made this motivational, but you know what? You didn't. You looked 4chan in its hideous disgusting face and spat in it. I'm proud of you.

The sales funnel is a common business tool used to identify the steps that a typical customer takes during the sales process. While there are numerous variations, it usually starts with brand awareness (on the broad end) and ends with sales or closing (on the narrow end). The intermediate steps include engagement (when prospective customers actively connect with a brand), evaluation (when they assess the value of the brand), and conversion (where they become paying customers). https://seoactivators.com/ca/seo-services-calgary...

Digital marketing, for the most part, deals with the broad end of this spectrum, namely brand awareness and engagement. It's all about developing relationships. Loyalty and retention marketing, on the other hand, are important because they deal with existing customers at the narrow end of the spectrum. https://redleos.com/

Ah, Phantasy Star... I haven't played you in a while.
Maybe I'll rent the new DS one once it comes out.

Incidentally, is this a Photoshop or an actual weapon in the game? 'Cause I read stuff about Arm Cannons and Hylian Shields in the DS version.

This is Phantasy Star Universe, not Online. And yes, they made some deals with companies. They have done it before (Famitsu, 1-up etc.)

This game will also include Fate/stay night, Evangelion, and Hatsune Miku armor and weapons as downloadable content.

I mean, let's not take the time to fix whatever problems the first game had. Let's just appease a certain demographic with extra content! <_<
