Careful about too much effort to attract short attention spans. If they have the mentality of instant gratification personality, it may be your wrong target crowd as they also won’t stay in the game to get past the learning curve. I’ll call it the Steam Effect. They try it, but don’t stay. Its kinda putting all your eggs in one basket. He flight sim crowd is not the same audience, IMO.
To be honest, I won’t go after leap-frog players. 5k+ views on 4 vids. 40% watched until the end. Those that view to the end are the ones I target. The ones who don’t get past 10-30 secs I’m not after them. They don’t have the patience to get past any learning curve.
I joined WWII aviation groups on FB then posted a vid. I’m not waiting for them to come to me, I went after the crowd that already has the interest and mindset. I saw little to no impact on sim threads.
They sure did like the MotA concept, before my vid. The movie helped us. Once that my vid wore out so did any number climb.
I removed my YT link here to see who finds it outside the bubble. Our own players don’t count in reaching out.
5k views may have drawn 30-50 players, 10 MAY have stayed. In 100 views I may get 3 to try 1 to stay.
IMO, going after that crowd MAY mean the no sub crowd too. They don’t stay anywhere very long.
Experiment, but I don’t suggest all eggs in one basket.
Adding YT subs vid playlist helps round out my snoozer vids.
That said, I’m not going to waste my time drawing them in just to get with sales of other games here. I’m just drawing them into a corner for others to feast on. you may draw them in but others are waiting at the front door, ya just did 90% of their work. Your gain was just cut by 50%. I don’t work for them, and won’t, period. Don’t get sucked in.
In that other sim thread, someone asked if anyone thought more planes would be made, my reply: “ Ummm No” it was reported by the one above and I was warned. So THINK, they are exploiting the drain hole at your expense. You are doing their work. As long as its allowed the game is allowed doomed 2x faster. I don’t fight god. Its a co-op against us.
I don’t feed stray dogs, I want them as uncomfortable as possible in staying
