New Way to Finance the Game
« on: October 08, 2025, 10:41:11 PM »
The goal of getting the game into the players' hands is very daunting.  Several million dollars to buy and more to hire a team of programmers for maintenance and new features, plus marketers to promote the game to the multitude.

Many ideas have been floated and could work, provided they get traction.

This idea is aimed at the top performers. The players who excel at flying ACM, bombers, tankers, and gunners.  They are good at filming their exploits.

They will need to be great on camera and exhibit over the top personalities.  Showmanship with style is critical.

It's time to get Aces High on the platform OnlyFans.

Monthly subscriptions will skyrocket.  Cash flowing in.  Ka-ching!

No judgements should one of you daring content creators boldly perform in your birthday suit or French Maid outfit. 

Don't take it personally, I won't be a subscriber myself.  I know you'll do good.

I love this idea, I’m sure people would drop coins to see it… like everyone wants to take a short gander at a train wreck. :-)

I've actually pumped money into some of my YouTube Aces High videos to try to help advertise.

I think that marketing to previous players would be easier and would have a higher rate of return then trying to recruit brand new players. WW2 online used to have those "welcome back soldier" things where old players could play full account access for free for a limited time in addition to the FTP account and seemed to bring in lots of numbers back in the day.

Makes sense.. try and set the hook again.

Unfortunately I think we would need an influx of A LOT of players to create an atmosphere better than when they left the first time.

I've listened to the impression left on a couple of old returning players... it isn't good.

Offer 10-15 Planes for a free account, but it has ads. Ad pops up at the beginning or it's overlayed over the game somewhere.

Who will book advertising in such a minor niche game? And at what price?
