Oh, my word, no, they're brought up quite often, I think. Particularly Sneak King.
My point was more that it was specifically in Mario Maker.

Oh okay. Mine was just fast food companies trying to reach people with video games. McDonald's did that forever ago on the NES with McKids (and somehow it's not a terrible game) but anything else... eh.
Also, it just hit me but while everyone is bitching about this being done, Carl's Jr has been there since SMB1! Take that other fast food chains!
Good idea or bad idea (I lean towards good because it cost nothing and got word of mouth), Arby's social is seen as the gold standard in marketing circles. In which I run, sadly. I usually think they're lame and trying too hard, but try telling that to a boss who sees dollar signs instead of humans.
Gamers are very specific in what they like and want, but they're also pretty easy to fool. The Game Awards being a good example and BS like MS, Sony, and Nintendo execs appearing on stage together as if it were some kind of monumental event of importance.
I don't get why people are so bothered about companies advertising towards its target audience. It's not new.
Why?
Why?
Why all the Arbys hate, their market fresh sandwich's are my go to fast food option if it's nearby!
The people that have an issue with this need to have a serious word with themselves.
It's just a bit of fun advertising.

I do not really care that Arby's used MM2 for marketing but the level itself was very unimaginative. If it were a creatively designed level I would be more enthusiastic.
But as a marketing tool this ploy obviously worked.

I for one have always liked that Arby's Twitter account is in tune with gaming/anime culture and their team behind the marketing are cool people. I saw them at a more recent Games Done Quick marathon doing their paper craft.
But the thing is, I've only eaten at Arby's once in my life years and years ago. Never again lol! As much as I like their marketing it won't ever get me to eat there.

It's automatically bad because it's yet another corporate twitter account attempt to get e-cred to disguise their evil.
