Boon reveals the results to his "unofficial" DLC poll and something isn't adding up

Shoot them. Shoot them all.
People need to realize that this is corporate relations with the public 101. It's very common and not unusual for a corporation/group to have a consumer poll, tamper with it, and put in who they want or think will sell. It's designed to make the consumer feel like they have a voice and their favorite company just "listened" to the fans.

Much like politics...

Who cares?

Nothing is every REALLY left up to the fans anyway. Votes (and logic) didn't matter in the battle arena, they didn't matter in the "girl poll," and they apparently didn't mean anything definitive in this poll either. I'm wondering why you're still surprised by this. Just be a good boy and download a dozen more Batman and Superman costumes.

they probably did change it cause all hands where needed on deck for MK10 coming in 2015 with the movie...
But can you blame them? They where already working in serious overtime on Injustice and have a good 2 years left.
Fred Marvel just let it go, it easier when you give in.

i felt like people should know (some of us didnt) that boon and nrs are scumbags, im not surprised really im just surpried how blatantly obvious the scumbaggery is and that people defend it

They love my Grayson
Zatanna > Static Shock, but I believe Blue Beetle would bring something new to this game, a more complex Cyborg meets Spiderman. Hopefully his popularity increases.

It's not "scumbaggery," it's just business. Every company does it.

Him and NRS are such scumbags but you're overly upset over an "unofficial" poll they were nice enough to include and allow people to vote instea of having predetermined characters like almost every other fighting game. Oh, and you play their game. Their scumbaggery mustn't be enough to deter you

Fred Marvel Rocksteady told HipHopgamer they love Red Hood and will make him playable in the Arkhamverse,
so characters like him or Azrael don't need to take slots over Zatanna, MMH or Black Adam cause they'll never have a change.
Let it go! Just let it go!

Think about it, they're such scumbags for milking us for our money but they still throw out a poll(albeit loosely followed). I read your posts, and threw out my opinion. Nobody said you had to agree and clearly you don't, and what does you buying the game in April have to do with their scumbaggery not deterring you from playing it? I bought it in April as well, so I'm not catching your drift there.

its still lying/cheating i get that its common in business but that doesnt make it good its still a scumbag move
What makes me mad about it is that just this morning he posted a thing about being nice to people lol. Well if that's true, then answer our questions. They always avoid questions when they should just be honest, how else do they think they'll earn our respect.

they could but showing us screens of the poll before it was done and sayin "x is in first or 2nd" would be lying/misleading etc
tampering with the poll assures you get to make the character you want while letting the fans believe the power was in thier hands when it never was and people say "nrs really cares they added her just because we wanted her" when it was planed all along
also he probably does hate me, he's a scubag


The whole point though is that there are far easier ways to guarantee who you want to win the poll, wins the poll.

It was a private poll, only Boon and NRS ever saw the results, if they wanted Zatanna to win from the start, they could easily have made it happen with out altering the poll after it was done.

It could have very well happened, but the reason why you think it happened is silly.
