[QUOTE="Ondath, post: 9109149, member: 7031770"] Except that's for the free gazetteer they released, and it doesn't mention DiA in the slightest. And we all knew about the gazetteer, since... We're discussing this in the thread about it. But this is precisely the problem. It's clear that they're half-arseing tie-ins, because it's only digital exclusive stuff at best, and usually it's not even that but just a shout-out to the product (that was released 4 years ago and only has one third of the content related to BG - clearly to be a tie-in - but then awkwardly goes to another city) in their social media pages. This is the kind of stuff you ask a social media intern to do in a week at most. What Whizbang has been trying to say is that you can do the tie-ins much more efficiently if you just put a bit more effort. Make physical bundles for the two products. Order art for your movie tie-in book that actually features the characters from the movie. That sort of thing. But instead, we only get stuff that is probably made by social media interns who are given the Indesign file to the DiA book and are told to make a separate PDF for the gazetter, and use the assets to make 2-3 Instagram posts. Again, in what world is this effective product synergy?! [/QUOTE]
