Why haven and hearth isn't advertised more?

Postby dunno6988 » Thu Nov 10, 2016 2:06 pm

By that I mean that developers could advertise it more and do it for free. For example making a facebook page for the game, upload more videos on their youtube channel.
I assume its this one https://www.youtube.com/user/bruderbohne/videos. Make a twitter page and steam more on twitch.
This way they would make a bit more of money from youtube and other sources. And they would have more time for themselves and connecting with the fandom, instead of being so busy every week with the updates, which is good, but I am only suggesting so they could expand more and gain more probably.

What do you guys think?

Having a short video showcasing the new features every week could make a great content for the channel.
However i think the main problem is the fact that video recording, editing, and necessary community managment work associated with RP requires a lot of time and probably a third member of the team.

Yeah, we've arguably been too lazy with some of the more basic nonsense like that. Propaganda is not our favorite thing in the world.

Well, I see it as that this is a game still in development with a lot of "placeholder" resources that might have be changed in a hurry if it were to become "commercial."

Advertising is expensive.
HnH is not suitable for majorities. You cant deny that.

But EVE has 300k+ subscribers. The only real difference between the EVE and Haven is high sec (patrolled) space*. Even if you took away that approximately 80% that don't leave high sec, you still have 60k subscribers. Why can't Haven have 5-10k?

And what's this "majority" you speak of?


*Well, that and about 10 more years development time.
