Rep threatens to punish “venomous” critics.
Publisher 2K Games has severed links with its external US public relations and marketing agency after the outfit Tweeted that it was considering blacklisting sites that gave Duke Nukem Forever a particularly rough ride.
A post on The Redner Group’s Twitter feed earlier today read: “Too many went too far with their reviews…we are reviewing who gets games next time and who doesn’t based on today’s venom,” followed by another stating “Bad scores are fine. Venom filled reviews…that’s completely different.”
Much internet ire duly followed, and 2K has just chimed in, announcing that it’s given Redner its marching orders.
