ApexMods Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Dave Anthony believes unpopular national security solutions can be pushed just like new game features When it comes to introducing unpalatable ideas to the American public, the US government could learn a thing or two from the marketing strategies of AAA games. That's what former Call of Duty director Dave Anthony told a think-tank forum in Washington this week. According to a report from Businessweek, Anthony's talk explored potentially controversial solutions to national security problems in America, and he had an intriguing take on how those solutions could be sold to the public. "When we have a new product that has elements that we're not sure how people will respond to, what do we do as a corporation?" he asked, referring to his time as writer and game director on Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2. "We market it, and we market it as much as we can - so that whether people like it or not, we do all the things we can to essentially brainwash people into liking it before it actually comes out."

Zeealex Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Ha! It works sure but not for long as its been proven in recent years, people begin to wake up and realise that they've bought into a waste of time and money. Brainwashing tactics only work on weak minds, and personally, a country that stands so much for freedom shouldnt even try it! Its chilling to even think about it, but brainwashing people to believe their beliefs and do as they do, they are no different to dictators.
