Look like they quoted things the team said on PSU heavily to write this short article. Old news to most but publicity is publicity...

And they did not give credit. Some websites have no respect.

But in other news. Its nice to see people even noticing the game this time around.

Interesting article other sites actually got the same quote from Smed but the site didn't credit anyone. :\ Heck even someone in the comments is asking them to cite a source.

News is news for sure, good to get it out there.

This site is advertising PS2 on Facebook. I saw an ad there on "ology.com" that said "Planetside 2 will be free".

So even if they're stealing quotes at least they're putting up Facebook ads?

Hamma · 2011-09-12, 11:46 AM

hah, that is even stranger

I guess that is win?

Yeah, one of my friends who is interested in PS2, but not following the news about it (he has me for that) asked me if PS2 would be F2P because he saw an add for it on Facebook. Weird.

Yeah, I saw that and pointed it out in another thread about ology.com.

Yay advertisement.

needs more beta date, less talking about warhammer. lol.

Um. Need I point out that's not a Planetside 2 ad? That's a Geekology ad pointing to a Geekology article on PS2.

In other words, we still need a campaign, Sony...

Preferably with some alpha 50 v 50 footage.

It's still an ad for PS2.

Brusi · 2011-09-13, 09:24 PM

I don't like facebook and try not to use it. The fact that i logged on like once a fortnight, on someone else laptop to find that i've been advertised to directly about something that there is no browsing history of on that PC makes me a bit uneasy.

Glad the marketting is out there now, hopefully they are preaching to the unconverted too

Its not directly for Planetside 2. Basically, Facebook scanned your page, saw you liked PS2, and then Geekology has an ad to lure you to their website because its related to PS2.

Not from Sony. Not really an ad for PS2.

And an article where they cited a variety of news and never linked to the sources (ie, PSU, Massively..) classic..

People that are writing about PS2 should know a bit about the game before posting things on websites because this guy has clearly not highlighted the main points of why PS2 is free to play.

Stupid if you ask me.

Perhaps that's because he doesn't have any more info about the F2P options because SOE hasn't told anyone yet? That being said, perhaps he shouldn't have written the article that highlights F2P because he doesn't know much about it?
