NERDS!!!!!!!!!

Damn the man, save the empire!  

When it comes to responding to their customers, video game developers are king.  If a game sucks, the players will let the public know and sales will suffer.  Just look at what happened recently to Electronic Arts.  Video game fail.


So what happens when the head guys get confronted by a run of a mill nerd who obviously takes the game too seriously?  They accept that they were wrong, and explain they are going to fix the mistake!  Recently at Blizzard’s gaming expo, a fan stepped up and pointed out a big flaw in their story line.  Apparently a main character just disappears for no reason.   When confronted the developers laughed sheepishly and then promised action.  If companies would realize that humility helps credibility we’d be better off.  Check out the confrontation of the now famous kid dubbed “the red shirt kid.” 



So what happened after this?  Did he go home to his parent’s basement and fade into obscurity?  No!  Not content with merely admitting they were wrong Blizzard went a step further and made him a character in the game!  Check it out!

This might not be a big deal to most, but to the 12 million players on World of Warcraft the kid has become a legend.  So they added him to the game with the name fact checker.  This demonstrates the companies humor, and desire to keep those who pay 15 bucks a month happy.
