Titanfall 2 has been released for a while. Despite coming out between the two most anticipated games of the holiday, it still received good reception. Recently, Titanfall Twitter account has done something quite hilarious!
Titanfall Twitter spams random people about new game
Although having been released for some time already, Titanfall 2 marketing department seems to be still very active in their work. Recently, the official Titanfall Twitter account has done something quite hilarious: sending messages to people who mention that they want to try out a new game. Of course, those messages were about trying Titanfall 2. They seem quite aggressive about it, mentioning about considering Titanfall 2 in every tweet that was asking for or wanting to try out a new game.
While Titanfall 2 is by no means a bad game, in fact it is very good, but this move can be seen as quite desperate. However, this is not the first time that the Titanfall Twitter account has had some missteps. Not too long ago, they themselves have attempted to take a cheap shot at shading its competitor Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Remember, Respawn, the developer of the game, has many old staffs of Infinity Ward, and the official Titanfall Twitter account is run by EA. Respawn’s Twitter later posted their support for their former peer developers in response.

To be fair, not only Titanfall, but other EA titles have made some idiotic moves as well. Earlier, the official Battlefield account was flamed for using the hastag #justWWIthings, which does not sound pleasant to a lot of people. Since then, they had to take down those posts, and issue an apology in another tweet. Titanfall Twitter account can learn something from that too, first by slowing down. Good games will attract people naturally, not by annoying potential customers!
Titanfall Twitter: A good lesson
This incident is a good lesson to marketing teams of EA and Respawn. You should never annoy your potential customers (regardless of intention). Still, Titanfall 2 is a really good game to try out. It is available for purchase now, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. Have you checked out this game yet?
