This implies that because they have a good reputation for their previous work, this new game will also be of high quality without providing any evidence or information about its actual development process. The second fallacy is an inflammatory statement when it describes Eddie's penguin army as
The appeal to authority: 'Developed by Evening Star featuring the talent behind Sonic Mania.'
<br>Eddie's penguin army: <em>'These clumsy flightless birds patrol the halls, come bursting through walls, and will stop at nothing to seize you!'</em>
