Marketing, distribution, etc...

I request that we have a miscellaneous section of the forums. Mostly this is because I want to discuss marketing and distribution, and that doesn't really fit in plot.

Alternatively, we can talk about it here.
What the fuck are we doing with this game? We're making a graphically realistic video game, and putting all this effort into making it really offensive. Then what? Are we going to give it away? Are we going to sell it? Where will it be? Will it be downloaded? Will it be in retail stores? How do we get it past ESRB? What about advertising?
Etc.
I think our best option is to make it mildly offensive (schizophrenia, partial nudity, setting people on fire, mild gore, stuff that would qualify it as exceptionally offensive, but not surprising), get an M rating, market it heavily, then give it away. When every kid and his sister has it, some kid will find the easter egg that turns on the rest of the offensiveness (swaztikas, rape minigames, full nudity, pen0rs, EXTREME GORRREEE, stuff that pushes it over the line) and everyone will be quite flustered indeed.

It's going to be free.

I'll start researching promotion and submission to the ESRB.

We need people inside the ESRB. They'll probably test the shit out of the game before it hits shelves. We want someone who can slip a copy in after they test it. Like... we'll have an innocent version and one with the weird shit.
Or we could make a patch that adds it in! That would throw everyone off.

If we're going to sell this, who will get the money? Should we just create one large account for everyone to put in and take out money?

Well, there is a chance we'll get our asses sued off, so we should set aside a good portion of money for that. But other than that, let the people who did the most work get what they deserve. My opinion anyway.
