Steam is a gamers site. You log in for free and using their "software" you can buy/play lots of games. They have 1000s of people using the service.

If HTC can get their game added to the list of games available it is possible 1000s of people will be able to see it and may try it.

Try like 140 million :)

HT, I think I can understand being skeptical, and you and others aren't wrong, however neither are others pointing out the possibilities.  There are millions of players on Steam, and every hour there are hundreds of thousands playing various combat related games.  Getting a tiny fraction of them - very small traction, could bring a lot of players, and be of great benefit to the game and your company.

Krup is right, a MUCH better video, or set of videos, is needed to draw interest.  Some of these already exist, but from AH2.  Need some updated ones with a great soundtrack, some great narration, and great action, showing off AH3 in  hi res/etc.

This is all there is to it.  If I were HT, I'd be throwing whatever I am considering doing for a TV ad at the online videos.  The first video people see on Steam is their first impression of the game.  It's your ad.

+1, especially the bolded paragraph. 

I've pointed out SixtyGallons' work on Youtube.  His stuff seems historically oriented but his skills putting such videos together are unquestionable--they're very professionally done.  Humbly suggest that he be sought out and hired:

https://www.youtube.com/user/sixtygallons/videos

Also, aside from some of the other skilled AH video makers previously mentioned, I often show off Brooke's Battle of Britain (2013, frame 4) video when appropriate, as a showcase of how nervy AH can get at times.  So perhaps Brooke could update/re-edit that same video using AH3's engine/film editor (he'd need an updated scenario map, new clouds, etc)?

Indeed. That FT video is very attractive! Definitely worth contacting that guy!

His last video is 7 years old. Safe to say he's no longer active.

You'll know if AH gets greenlit.  It'll have a green border around it with a check mark on the bottom R.  At least from my PoV.  Not sure about the one who submitted it for greenlight. :)

No he isn't--I pointed that out in my first post about him.  But then again, he could just be busy putting his skills to money-making uses--he does seem to have professional skills.  A emailed inquiry from HTC--as a prospective client--to find out if he's available costs nothing.

If someone did that, they'd lose all progress (perks, achievements, etc) since you would have to create a new account for the Steam version.
Not unless you have a way to link your current account to steam. It can be done with no loss.
