Why do companies do stuff like that?

If I had the answer to that I'd be Ultraman or something.
If that makes sense.

I'm sure it does to someone.
... ... But not to me.

Actually I do know the reason. They don't have faith in the product's nature itself and feel the need to make it appeal to more people, even though that usually fails.
14th February 2005, 3:58 PM
Yes, it often does. I blame the mainstreamers, for the boxart change and the lack of sales. Darn mainstreamers...

Mainstreamers didn't buy the game, so it's not their fault.

Changing that Ico box art to something worse is like putting that awful IGN quote all over the cover of the very nice Ikaruga box... stupid...

Quote:Mainstreamers didn't buy the game, so it's not their fault. ... ... ... What?

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that it's the fault of whoever at Sony thought that the crappy cover would appeal to a more mainstream audience?

Allow me to once again blind you with what had to be the stupidest decision Capcom ever made... regarding cover art... They set the precedent for this.

That's like saying that it's the egg's fault for the cock living on the roof.
Or something. That makes more sense... Sony tried to appeal to the mainstream but failed horribly. That happens all of the time, and it's not really the mainstream's fault.

You see, the cock... it helped make the uh... the egg... the fertilized one... and um, that is an allegory for, for things....

Hey at least I drew mine. And in two seconds, come on. Here, this is something that I put a little bit more effort into.
