The Daily Grind: Have there been any cross-promotions in your MMO that annoyed you?

WHY

We always have a chuckle in the MOP office when World of Warships puts out its latest wacky cross-promotion with real world celebrities or IPs that shouldn’t have any business hanging out with World War II-era warships. But hey, anything to draw attention and pump up hype, yeah?

Actually, that sort of thing can bother me a whole lot. Recently in Shop Titans, the game had a cross-promotion with the Avatar franchise, which I care not one whit for. All of the sudden, Avatar stuff was everywhere, and I just wanted it gone because it broke the consistency of the game world and was such a blatant promotion.

Have there been any cross-promotions like this that annoyed you or felt out of place in your MMO?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
