Exactly, and it's even closer to 21k subs now and over 2 million followers. If the community and HTC can do everything it can to try and have a positive impact on new potential players coming in, there is literally no limit to the possibilities. All it takes is one of the larger Twitch streamers or a few of the smaller ones even to start picking up AH3 as a game they stream, and that'll explode the exposure of the game even beyond what Steam alone has the potential to do. As Junky said, there are huge untapped pools of gamers out there that have never been exposed to this great game, and capturing just a tiny, tiny fraction of them = 1st world problems of the blue/orange days.
A good first day from the sounds of it, I hope it continues to improve for HTC and all of us players.
This game has a bigger E sport potential in its gameplay then a lot of the games that are trying to go into E sports.....only thing it needs is the population to be large enough for advertisers to be able to make money in events.
If Summit streamed Aces High for 1 week....he gets 10K people playing easily.
PUBG is the best example that actually advertising a game vs paying big streamers to play it is the new way to get numbers into your game....I saw little other then Social media posts then on release day all the big streamers...Summit, Drdisrespect, Shroud, Lirik Sodapoppin, TimTheTatman, MrGrimmz e ct e ct were all on PUBG and the game went from 40K active players from its release to 300K now....sold like 2 million copies through steam...
