Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

He was the lead singer of an Australian band called the Galvatrons in the 2000s.

Triple Click

I believe that's his stage name.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

The Galvatrons are named for like a Transformers character.

Triple Click

So I think it's not his real name, but maybe he like adopted his stage name.

Triple Click

Anyway, his name is Johnny Galvatron.

There's kind of all these layers of artifice around this game.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

This is what I wrote about and how for a long time I was kind of...

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

just okay with that.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

I was like, well, this game is kind of weird.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

It's not set in a real place.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

It doesn't feel that believable.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

The music doesn't totally make sense.

Triple Click

But also it's like kind of weirdly Australian.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

Like I actually like having Australians tell me about their favorite bands.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

It's like something that I spend a lot of time doing.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

So it's kind of a fun part of the game.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

And I guess the one thing I'll say that I should mention here in my one more thing is that what wound up being kind of the central realization in my writing about this game was that I figured out that some of the songs on Stacey's playlist actually aren't real songs.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

And I thought that was actually kind of weird.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

It was a creative decision that I don't love.

Triple Click
Does Video-Game Marketing Really Work? [Mailbag]

There are just bands that I'm not sure what they are.
