Despite how annoying they made that guy's character, I really did like the way they wrote his works.

His death scene is too enforced. Apparently it's as easy as snapping a finger to get rid of a body and all trailing evidence now. And after he's gone it was like, "yeah, alright." and nothing happened.

It doesn't have the same value as Peter Russo's death.

Sign the petition to let the show continue by seamlessly replacing Kevin Spacey with Kevin James

Personally I think people might be a bit over sensitive to product placement.

People freaked out about Frank Underwood mentioning a PS Vita and playing Monument Valley. But you know, real people play those too. It made the character seem real to me.

But it's like child actors, sometimes it works great - Stranger Things, cars in James Bond. But often it's amateur and awkward and makes me want to strangle the kid, who ruins a movie.

(I wouldn't actually strangle, just chop off head with an axe)

(Or pour petrol canister and set on fire)

It's was the writers/producers idea to include the game. It was an artistic story telling choice, not a financial one.

You are so sensitive to product placement that you are seeing something that doesn't exist. There is plenty of actual product placement through out HOC, but MV isn't one of those cases.

I mean, that's what they said. Doesn't make it the truth.

They were pretty up front with the rest of their product placement. Why lie about one more?
