The Ocean Saga Comes To A Resolute Close
N-Controller, the creators of the Avenger Controller have officially fired Ocean Marketing, and has a new consultant, Moisés Chiullan.
If you haven't been keeping up with the Ocean Saga and the tale of Paul Christoforo, feel free to catch up by clicking here.
Christoforo was let go from Ocean Marketing, and now Ocean Marketing is no longer repping N-Controller. The new consultant has some great quotes about Christoforo in a press release about the news:
“I can’t worry about the fact that there isn’t a bus big enough for me to throw Paul Christoforo under. The internet did that for me. I think they set him on fire too.”
N-Controller can now move on and hopefully get back on track. It's important to know that Christoforo had nothing to do with the product N-Controller offers, and that he was only hired to help with marketing and customer relations, etc.
The only question that remains is, was Christoforo right in his rant thanking Penny-Arcade for the free PR? Sure, he's replaced that woman who threw a kitten in a trash can for no good reason as the Internet's super-villain, but would you have even heard of avengercontroller.com if it wasn't for all this? Maybe Christoforo is the ultimate employee, sacrificing his own reputation for the sake of the product. Maybe this was all planned from the very beginning. The first e-mail where Christoforo replied simply, "Dec 17"? Maybe that was phase one...
