Well I got a simple ‘Not in your country (Canada) you’re not !’ earlier. Like the Doritos one before (which was mostly Europe, plus USA iirc). Unless I missed a “open to all at some date” message that you’re (implying ?) seeing ?
So, what’s the next promo going to be ? …
Exclusive to Canada ! Buy Spaghettios and get an Australian themed sweater and Myers Manx exclusive livery !
…and I’m just a bit scared I may be tuning in actual marketing minds on that.
Man, Horizon 4 didn’t have all this tie-in malarky except for the pre-order editions that were eventually available to all players. Why did that change? First the hot rod exclusive to the unicorn vomit controller, then the nail polish Ford GT, and now this. Plus, why all these weird tie-ins? Sure, Oreo makes more sense than nail polish, not too much more sense.
This is total BS. I bought there stupid controller and even bought some bloody nail polish so I can have every car in the game and then they release this which is Europe only so now I can’t actually have every car in the game because I live in the wrong part of the world.
Like it was bad enough when there were skins that could only be acquired in the UK with the doughnuts promo but this is a car game. Having a car that isn’t acquirable by a significant portion of your playerbase is just bloody ignorant.
So far there’s been 5 of these stupid promos (controller, nail polish, Doritos, doughnuts, and now this) 2 of the 5 have been UK or Europe only. That’s 40% of these dumb promos that a significant portion of their players simply cannot receive benefit from.
I constantly seem to be let down by the way that Forza is managed and I’m seriously beginning to regret being a Forza fan.
And clearly you don’t work in, or understand, the purpose of product marketing & promotion. Why would I spend a bunch of money marketing a product in a market I already dominate? The whole point is to expand your market penetration…
These tie ins aren’t new to Horizon. There was the Pizza Hut, I think Camaro, in FH2 plus the F&F bit that was fun but blatant P&R by Universal for the movie, there’s the Duracell Spano in FH3 & I know there are others across the series that I’m forgetting. What I’m getting at, is this has been going on since at least FH2.
Thanks Max.
I have just got a code, but I did not read the initial post on here.
So, all I must do is wait until the 31st January and the Zonda will appear in my garage as if by majic!
