Did Microsoft Just Pull a Don Draper?
- iuguy 16y agoThe article assumes that a significant number of Angry Birds players on one platform will want to jump to another and pay again to play on the second platform.

- whatever_dude 16y agoOr rather, it was just a dick but pointless move by Microsoft (probably because the Marketing/partnership/demo deployment teams don't talk to each other very closely). This article seems to try to make a mistake sound like it was some genius move. Can't see why it is, or why the Angry Birds developer is under any kind of pressure at all. People will be putting pressure on the developer? Seriously? All they need to do is tell people the icon was used without permission. The fact that he has to come up with some TV series-inspired expression and explain it (with the help of some bogus, paraphrased, empty quote nonetheless) just makes it worse. If the author is so interested in making people aware of his Mad Men obsession, there are less lame ways to do it than this.
