The modern world is about reacting to trends. Communicate on common ground, be on the same platforms as your players, make sure you’re addressing concerns. In 2017, that means the, ahem, fan art needs to start before the game is even out. Such is the plan for Agents of Mayhem, which had its own little adult video go up before it’s even been released.
For more upcoming PC games, some of which aren’t quite so raunchy, check our dedicated article.
An in-universe ‘leaked’ sex tape has shown up on YouPorn, naturally. A censored version is available below, via HardcoreGamer (obviously).
Your man there is Rod ‘Hollywood’ Stone, one of the game’s characters. The others are named as Gregory Prickington, Ivana Bangya, and Marcus Thunderpump, though we have a slight inkling they may be pseudonyms – call it a hunch.
Employer of Hollywood and hero faction for the game MAYHEM released an in-universe official statement about the video, saying it couldn’t be confirmed it was him and even if it was, it didn’t look like he’d be winning any AVN awards.
“Until we reach clarity, MAYHEM will continue deploying agents to save you from mad men wielding literal space lasers while you remain fixated on tabloid-tier gossip. We take comfort in knowing our fight to curb total global devastation has not driven you into panic.”
As far as today’s marketing stunts go, it’s a distinct second. Not even a hint of wang, nevermind anything else, what’s the point, eh? You can find the longer, thicker version in this NeoGAF thread, if you want. For some reason. We don’t judge.
