KFC And Back 4 Blood Devs Are In The Middle Of A Social Media War

In an odd turn of events, KFC and Back 4 Blood developers Turtle Rock Studios are in the middle of a social media war.

Now, this is certainly an odd situation. KFC, a company known for fried chicken is in a tongue-in-cheek way, criticising renowned developer, Turtle Rock Studios. I mean, other than chicken, KFC is also known for the KFC console. Yeah, that actually happened. Oh, and there was that weird dating sim.

KFC fired the first shots tweeting an image of Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood with the words: “Every masterpiece has its cheap copy”.

Which even in a tongue-in-cheek way, is a tad harsh. Granted, Turtle Rock Studios hasn’t always had success. After all, they did bring us Evolve which died quicker than Kojima’s revival of Silent Hills. Still too soon?

BURN!

Sure, from what I have played so far, despite the obvious connections, Back 4 Blood is no Left 4 Dead. But it’s still a lot of fun, nonetheless. Thankfully, Turtle Rock Studios did respond to KFC in quite possibly the best way possible.

11 herbs and spices, and still no taste,” tweeted back the developers.

In all fairness, it’s all just a bit of fun, however, just like Insomniac Games, I’m on Team Turtle Rock in this social media war.
