I read another headline earlier, something like “Blizzard strands 1000 people on Mt Everest.”
And my early morning brain went “ugh Blizzard really is an awful company, going way too overboard with their promotional material.” I wasn’t even that surprised.
Now I see this headline and that earlier one makes more sense 😂
While it’s tragic that the mountain is going to add to its death toll on this, the idea of people queued up on the world’s tallest peak just for limited-time virtual merch, made me chuckle a bit.

After that Pokemon Go stampede in Central Park all those years ago, I’m feel like stunts like that are far more plausible than ever.
Edit: I also keep forgetting about the stuff RedBull does these days…
Yeah that’s the thing. It would be outragiously stupid way to advertise their things, but sadly that does not make it impossible…
