Kalor said: I hadn't heard of this person before so I guess someone didn't do their research. Atlus probably used an outside marketing company to handle this rather than deal with invites internally. Click to expand... Click to shrink...

As someone who works in marketing and has done this kind of work before: Atlus USA would have still gotten the list of attendees or invitees at some point for them to vet/make last minute changes to. This means it is still completely Atlus' fault.I've had to google a whole bunch of people that companies have suggested we invite before and every one of them was vetted both internally and externally to prevent stuff like this from happening.Atlus USA was careless, and whether they outsourced it or not, did a really poor job both on the optics front and on the actual follow through part of what they have been saying lately.It's gross because I largely love Atlus games, but they need to stop punching themselves in the face unprovoked.
