This game would be worse off with Xbox/ps2 types. You don't want those looking for instant gratification.

You've been using that same line for a while. It's playstation 4 now.

Need a new computer to run beta and don't spend any time PCing anymore, all mobile.

Wouldn't it make more business sense to advertise an open beta, make it free and advertise the hell out of it and then charge after the new fish have taken the hook?

You would estimate that all of the current AH players will cross over so that is guaranteed income and bankable. Expansion and increased longevity and income will only be activated by new players.

What’s a targeted Facebook advert worth? Facebook is pretty much a middle age device now and viewed as a little passé by many. That means that targeting Facebook subscribers with military or public service interests hits the mark.

I'm correcting people tough guy...one misread the OP and one is a stubborn old guy.

The requirements to be considered a BBS "tough guy" have gone way down.  Much like the requirements to be considered good.

That's assuming a lot. I don't recall ever saying I hated you or ever implying I disliked you.

That's completely false...POTW Facebook has like 30 members in it...your a minority if you don't have a Facebook.

Your posts toward me come off that way...like your first post in this thread, you didn't read the thread completely...so you posted something "smart" but it just came off like you got something against me...it's fine...I don't care.

I read and understood completely. Posting a you're not on topic reply is in fact not on topic. It was just a banter reply really, it doesn't appear you took it very well.

I’m always getting Facebook ads for services and items that are akin to my interests. I am not tech smart to work out their methods.

All I know is I keep getting “suggested posts” for cricket, holidays in Samoa and cut price snowboards. How do they do this? And more importantly, it works.

I meant Facebook is seen by many as “nerdy” now that it is filled with middle age people.  It’s also an indictment that every positive thought is met by at least five going in the opposite direction. There’s plenty of time to be a “grumpy old man” in the retirement home.

Keep playing the marching song Junky – well played.

You gents should cut Junky some slack. He is fresh out of the service and making this a new years come back into the forum and the game. I guess we got a bit stale while he was gone. Remember when we all had this much get up and go about this game? He's just showing off his right stuff while he shakes off the rust.

.
How many people between the age of 18-35....and how many of them have Facebook? Because that's the crowd to market a video game to, AKAK can probably confirm the average age of gamers better...Do I think Facebook ads are the way to go? Nope personally I think Youtube is better but to say that the people we are trying to draw to the game don't have a Facebook is absolutely without a doubt wrong.

I'm very excited with the upcoming beta, and I just got me a new shade account, so ftp or not I'll be there  :banana:

And yes,  the PlayStation is at its 4th iteration now, the 2nd was released 15 years ago :P Note that partly because the ps4 has a x86 processor, a large part of the PC games are cross platform now, and share a good chunk of their user base.

Thread isn't about you saying "thread isnt about that."

I beg to differ...
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.
