      It's not a mountain at all. Just a ton of money spent on a campaign that was mildly negative in consequences. Just as good ads have often mildly positive results, bad ones have bad results. Bad ads often cause people to be less likely to buy something rather than more likely. The same thing that makes people get positive feelings about a company from a good ad, a negative ad does the opposite. Valve's advertising caused a negative feeling because it didn't have anything positive to promote, just confusion and inclusionism. So the resulting feeling wasn't a positive one.

        I find it weird that people assume that all ads, no matter what they are, produce positive feelings about products or companies.

          I suppose some people assume this, I am not such a person.

          I'll agree that a bad ad will make me not like a company (which are most ads on TV), but I don't consider the OP to be a bad ad.

            It's the Valve Portal 2 ad that I was talking about as being negative.

                    Weird. It's not had a new DLC or anything, right?

                      It hasn't, but its popped up on a tv show recently (maybe Big Bang, but dont remember for sure), but then I have seen it other places too.

                        Oh okay. Is that show still new or just in reruns? I never watched it new so have no idea. I know it was current with How I Met Your Mother which ended long ago so can't tell 🙂

                          They still have new episodes weekly. Or movies as my significant other calls them...

                              The show is showing it's age though... Might be time to retire Big Bang Theory.

                              I'm super glad that Penny's growing her hair back.. that short hair was crap!

                                    Feels like it must have been longer than eight years by now.
