Interview with Paul Christoforo, formerly of Ocean Marketing [The Gaming Vault]

Paul Christoforo was a relative nobody until a recent squabble via email with a disgruntled customer made its way to Penny Arcade and got Mike “Gabe” Krahulik involved with a mention of PAX East. A short time later, the electronic exchange found itself on the front page of the Penny Arcade website and what followed was a chastising of epic proportions through emails and phone calls, personal facts and uncoverings making their way to Reddit, the creation of his own Wikipedia page, and even partially achieving a memetic status.

What does Paul have to say about this whole ordeal?

I have no idea who this guy is, but what a mess...

MrBeatdown4500d ago (Edited 4500d ago )

I stopped reading this half way through. The customer's question about why early pre-order customers had to pay more is a completely legitimate question. When I pre-order a game from any store, online or brick and mortar, they always give you the lowest advertised price, regardless of whether or not it was more expensive when you pre-ordered.

The whole idea that this guy would cancel the new orders of anyone who cancels a previous order is bullshit, plain and simple. Because this guy Dave is an early customer, he's forced to pay a higher price? I could understand if he had to move to the back of the line if he cancelled and re-ordered, and wait until all pre-existing orders were fulfilled, but forcing your customer to buy something at the higher price or not get it at all is a joke and an absolutely piss poor way of doing business.

I actually feel somewhat sorry for him because of the whole chastising and harassment thing, but in this day and age you really should have the forethought to realise your butt can be dragged out onto the proverbial internet streets if you act like an asshole.

Penny Arcade - The Xbox One X

It has honestly been years since I even thought about the Xbox but I decided to see what they had done since I left and what the new hardware had to offer.

Now you know, now you know true power. Bring on the x beast.

gangsta_red2360d ago

lol, i'm convinced but I still would like the set up to compliment these mid gen consoles.

Gazondaily2360d ago

Damn! That is a MASSIVE endorsement for the console right there

Man, reading that article, especially the last paragraph, bought tears to my eyes. So emotional. The powerful specs of the Beast has bought the author, a self admitted Xbox hater, to come home to Xbox! I suspect many like him will do the same this Holiday.

TankCrossing2359d ago

Totally. I puked all over my wife. I... don't handle emotion well.

Aren't PA the people who refuse to put the third part of their RPG onto PS3?

I thought PA was always Xbox first type of people.

#1 & #2 were 2 of my favorite RPGs last gen but #3 fell short due to changing the style of the gameplay. Rain Slick was a great series though.
