IGN uploaded the April Fool’s Day promotional video for “GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE WORLD”, but the timing was a full 5 days late. April Fools’ Day memes are meant to capture the atmosphere of the day, but if you throw them out after the holiday, the audience will naturally not regard them as easter eggs, but will only think that you are making up for homework.
What are you so busy with that you can’t even keep up with the dates?
The trend in the comment area is almost the same: they are not discussing how interesting the content of the promotional video is, but complaining about the exaggeratedly slow pace. What makes everyone laugh is that IGN itself is obviously a news and content media, but it can even miss fixed schedules such as April Fool’s Day. No wonder it is regarded as a typical example of slow five-beat.
It looks unprofessional and just trying to gain popularity.
If the official account is released late, players may still regard it as a publicity process; but the media’s late release will have a worse perception, because it will be interpreted as not keeping up with the trend, the content schedule is out of control, or even like seeing others having traffic and wanting to make up for it, but the best time has been missed, leaving only embarrassment.
The same film is a joke one day early and becomes a laughing stock five days later.
For “Goddess of Victory: World”, the hot topic this time is not the game itself, but was snatched away by IGN’s time difference. April Fools’ Day may not be funny enough, but expired memes are hard to save because the audience is no longer in that mood.
