Hello, my name is Wesley Wallace. I am the CEO of Techland. On behalf of myself and my distributor partners at Square Enix, Valve and Spike I would like to apologize for the lack of co-op play you are experiencing.

I have fired our Director MattAY and replaced him with a more competent director who will have you killing zombies with your buddies in no time.

In the mean time, please feel free to browse our other products in your PSN or XBOX live store. We hope you continue to support Techland in the future.

Hello ManDown,

I am the new director for UltraAwesome industries. We recommend you play our new tactical combat simulator called, "Zombie Island". It will immerse you deep into a world of blood, gore and unpleasantries that Dead Island will NEVER achieve. Wanna know why? Because they fired the best damn director in the business!

Longo_2_guns

Hello ManDown74,

As the chairman of the board and majority shareholder of Koch Media, whose subsidiary Deep Silver published the game in question, I assure you that your problem is being looked in to. We the shareholders would never do anything to bite our paying customers. You did pay for the game, right? Wonderful.

That said, we are currently funding a team to look in to this problem. However, while you're waiting, we're happy to inform you that new downloadable content will be hitting the shelves soon. These include additional skins, weapons, co-op and online play, and some fun other features for a low, affordable price.

We do cherish your business, and hope this won't put a damper on your wish to buy future products from us.

Cordially,
Lewis T. Gons
Executive Chairman, Koch Media

    Hello Mr. Bras,

    My name is M. H. Tiny, and I am associate with the Law firm of Dewy, Cheatem, and Howe who have been retained to represent Game Revolution in this case. We are asking the judge for a summary dismissal of this obviously frivolous lawsuit, and are counter suing you for defamation of character, and libel which has caused our clients to lose revenue. We are seeking damages, both real and punitive of $37,234,179,028.19.

    Hello Mr. Tiny

    My name is Jay Ecksington IV, and I am Mr. Bras peronsal attorney. There seems to be a misunderstanding here, Mr.Bras is a dyslexic. He did not mean to say "consider yourselves sued", instead he meant, "consider yourselves used". As in the popular GR user "used44", because he has yet to reply to a comment here. It was meant as a joke because the defendant, Mr. Bras, could not reply to your 3rd statement in said thread.

    We hope you understand, and will not counter-sue for ****to....large sums of money.
    Thank you, and have a large day.

    - Sincerely, Mr. Ecksington IV
