He's stated multiple times that advertising isn't going to happen again.
Yes, I’m aware.
I musta looked at 500 on YT videos last night. Very few had more that 300 views over 7 yrs. Even on HTC YT page. Either google, like YT put most visited sights on top. Just sitting there probably hasn’t done much. There has to be an easy 10k vids out there.
Between HTC site and YT MotA has gotten almost 1,400 views, about 15-30 per day. But that video tells more about one scenario, not the aspects of the game. Many of those views are current players. I don’t think it reaches outside the bubble enough, its long.
I absolutely don’t think it will make earth spin backwards. However, when we were working on numbers prior to MotA, these guys posting on other sites brought in 40-60 players, return or new. We didn’t have much of anything fresh for them to use. But when MotA was over and the effort dropped so did numbers as we weren’t getting replacement numbers. Or they didn’t look far for material and most, including mine, are too long for short attention spans some sites hold. Those efforts, without tv, got us up from 112-120 to 160-200 without an ad vid.
This isn’t taking much effort or time. If it can get 2k views and 20 players it was worth the time. If we can get those on bbs and 200 to keep drama low while/if we get players it would also help.
Lets cut to it, its not going to drag in 2k players. But If it can help get us back to 160-200 it would get it in the right direction again. We hut a bad road that disrupted our momentum with the YKW and a sim selling on our boards and other crap. I want 250 in the MA. Its a reasonable goal.
Again, nothing ventured, nothing gained. <shrug> I might have a few hours into it. MotA was over 100 hrs, because of 30 hrs of films to go through.
Even if it were to get used by HTC, which I doubt, its 100% royalty free.
