BUMBER STICKERS-Advertising Aces High.
personally have never been able to not read a bumper sticker.

but I don't know how or where to distribute them.
what does everybody think?

HiTech have you ever considered using bumper stickers as a form of advertising?

 :aok I had that thought as well, some time ago. Maybe even Tshirts at an affordable price? If it was sanctioned by HT....I would definitely invest some serious coin to this end. The numbers we have now, not too much to do this AT ALL. I would be willing to even go for some PERSONALIZED T-shirt prints...found a sight that offered Combat Aircraft pictures on them...may need to charge SOMETHING(if the desired plane was in lower demand and not cost effective) but more than willing to mitigate any serious pricing issues. I see it as an investment towards my FUN FACTOR...so HELL YES!

Bumper sticker $5.00 (covers the cost to make and shipping to you).......picture of it on your car bumper sent to HiTech....... and then you only pay $13.95 a month to play Aces High  .... I've also notice the Aces High side advertisements on different web pages, supplied by google have not been seen lately

I don't and never will advocate the lowering of the subscription price, even to attract new players- the less money HTC brings in the less time the game will be available. HTC people have to eat too-pay rent/mortgage etc. lowering or dropping subscription price will truly hurt or even shut it down.

they could bill it to my account, before they even ship it. bill the shipping as well-usps shouldn't be much at all.

There are services out there where you can have them made.   Get his permission and go for it.  I don't think it will matter.   But it couldn't hurt.

Do any of you ever have AH AVI or MPG converted films on say a tablet, or, your smart phone and while you are out interacting with friends and other cordial people let them look at what you have fun doing? In some ways it's no different than canvassing for a local community initiative or political figure. You gents appear to want to inspire a grass roots advertising campaign like a whisper campaign. Some products, that was what pushed them over the top becasue of the convictions of the loyal customers.

One thing I didn't think about until recently, I showed my sister in law who is an executive in a large company out of Texas, a tour through riftval in CMEye mode. She had no clue grown ups did things like play online games or created things like riftval. She is in the 50-60 demographic and thought online games were something her sons "used to play" who now have families and no time for games.

We are so close to this process that we may not take the time to step back and get a 50,000ft view. GenI, millennials and GenX grew up on console games and the Internet. GenI and millennials watch online games as entertainment the same way GenX and baby boomers watched the NFL, NBA and MLB. Not all baby boomers owned PC's and if they do, not all used them for more than social media. Aces High is like selling a new alderman to baby boomers, a new car to a GenX, and we already watch Millennials and GenI turn up their noses for a laundry list posted at Steam. Too bad we don't have at least a millennial who likes this game to sell it to other millennials. All the Steam complaints, I wonder if those are excuses becasue they really don't want to play a game with their fathers and grand fathers. Ten minutes listening to VOX in a tower tells you alot about who plays this game, especially with ch7.

Human nature is to stay in places that other humans you perceive like your self are congregating and having fun. People will put up with marginal graphics and other nonsense if they see people like themselves having fun as a group in that game. Early Aces High with no eye candy had a large community while IL2 had eye candy to make your eyes bleed. War Thunder targeted kids with "Free" and a console interface while secondarily getting adults becasue of it's simplicity. Aces High is a commitment from their perspective.

So you are back to selling a commitment to something. There may be a silver lining in this, millennials are getting married and having kids, buying cars and houses, and learning about commitment and how it makes things last. And Aces High is not a used car, it's a classic car.

I just downloaded GEFORCE Experience.  I intend to make some films of things that will be of interest to friends.   Then I can show them any time, just like you suggested.

I get mixed reactions when I show folks films from my "Free Time Folder".

Of course my flying vids are mixed in with my nude deer hunting videos. So I have that going for me.

Oh you saw one?   :bolt:


I seriously need to separate the videos. I had one guy say "oh you nude deer hunt too? Where do you go that you can get so close to the deer?"
I asked him what he meant and he told me that he noticed I was geared up for short range work.

Last week I open the game and download the first big patch file. While it's downloading I open Craigslist.  Wound up buying a utility trailer.  Then the weekend comes and I start downloading game patch #2.  Pull up Craigslist again.  And we'll sometimes I get sidetracked!

HiTech have you ever considered using bumper stickers as a form of advertising?

I went through this stage from 2014 to 2016.

You end up getting banned from the game and bbs if you keep down this road. My best advice, adapt and overcome all adversity, and when you have had enough get drunk one night and realize your wastimg your life investing so many hours to your addiction :cheers:
