Someone on Reddit made a good point. They might be copying Sonic the movie's approach to marketing. Release a ugly version now, and then later on, release an improved version.
- bchociej 7y agoYeah I feel like they are almost certainly putting this design out to create some buzz. I can't picture them releasing this hideous thing as-is.
- delecti 7y agoThere are too many things wrong with that theory to be plausible. The same is true here.
- hoorayimhelping 7y agoTrying to explain simple bad decision making with some kind of grand marketing strategy that involves incredible amounts of wasted work and huge amounts of coordination and the silence of hundreds of people is the most reddit thing ever.
- EpicEng 7y agoUsing a marketing conspiracy theory with about 10,000 holes in it to explain an ugly design is not what I would consider a "good point".
- Pxtl 7y agoPeople made the same conspiracy theory about New Coke. Coke's response: "Some cynics will say that we planned the whole thing. The truth is we're not that dumb and we're not that smart."
