Do you know the way they say "bad advertisement is better than no advertisement at all"? Well, Wadjet Eye benefits from that today, since its name now slowly becomes a familiar name in the video games news.
Proof is this article that talks about the bad experience they had with free keys for Blackwell -- I'd say it's excellent news, because I had never heard from them in a French paper magazine before, outside of a game's test. eventually, only the names "Wadjet Eye" and "Dave Gilbert" remain.

(note: this is translated from French, from Canard PC -- you could say it's the best (and almost only) French video games paper magazine: recently there was a big crisis in that sector, and almost all magazines collapsed simultaneously except for them. The others relied too much on ads, partnerships, and free goodies. Now, Canard PC (which was only getting 20% of its income from ads)  has pretty much the monopoly.)

"Wadjet Eye is a rather nice video games development and publishing company. First, they published Resonance, Primordia and Gemini Rue, that gave a lot of happiness to retro-pixels lovers -- and those people too deserve happiness. Then, since Wadjet Eye is really cool, they decided to give away to anyone one episode from the Blackwell, Deception saga, for Halloween. However in their generous exhilaration, they didn't foresee that malevolent people would seize the opportunity to get stacks of keys, in order to sell them once the discount is over. Consequence: big mess at Wadjet Eye, white hair grew on Dave Gilbert's head, who thinks it's a lot of work for not much, and people who would have legitimately benefited from the discount got really annoyed. Wadjet Eye had to cancel 30,000 suspicious keys, and in the end everybody is sad."


(also, in case Dave would read that: Don't mind the sarcastic tone -- that's what they do in that magazine, but that doesn't make you guys sound like losers at all).
