What if a good game released but the dev had no marketing for it and nobody played it? How do you find that game to play?
it will be revealed to me in a dream
You'll find it if you're meant to.
I don't, get fucked retarded faggot.
>>725953819the cream rises to the top
>>725953960But if nobody knows about it, how will it rise? Someone has to find it and play it first.
>>725953819you don't that's how it stays a good game
>>725954242But how would anyone know it's a good game if nobody plaid it?
>>725955058as long i can plought it
>>725955145But I wanna plough it two.
>>725953819That's what /v/ is for.
>>725955990But if nobody plaid it, nobody will post it on /v/...
>>725953819unless the dev doesn't put their game on any platforms and only offers it via their website nobody visits, it will get noticed through tagging systems on steam or console algorithm recommendations you'd have to go out of your way to make a really good game and then have nobody ever notice it
>>725953819Why would someone plaid it? Is it about lumberjacks?
>>725956321>it will get noticed through tagging systems on steamThis doesn't happen. If a game flops on Steam it's doomed forever.
>>725956505if the game flops it wasn't goodand no, flop =/= <1m copies sold
>>725956643What are you even trying to say?
>>725953819Word of mouth, mostlyThat is to say, not on /v/
>>725954138Nobody ever has examples of genuinely good games nobody played. It feels like if there's all this kino hidden out there on the internet, there would be examples of games nobody played initially that were discovered later. It leads me to believe that yes. If your game is good and caters to an existing audience, people will discover it. Doesn't mean there aren't under and overrated games out there. I just don't buy the narrative that the heckin algorithm is keeping all these perfect games down.
>>725956684what I already said, based on the premise in the OP: a good game with no marketing will still sell okay due to the online distribution infrastructure built up around games over the last 20+ yearsit is easier to buy and sell games now more than ever, though it could be made even easier if steam would vet games a little better
>>725956893>a good game with no marketing will still sell okayYou're delusional. How many games that released TODAY did you buy?
>>725957124I am a statistical outlier compared to the majority of the population because I don't see ads. I use an adblocker on all my devices and I don't watch TV. The vast majority of marketing doesn't apply to me in the first place. And even if I did buy 20 games today, it'd be anecdotal and meaningless.
>>725956885>there would be examples of games nobody played initially that were discovered later.Fear and hunger?
>>725957312So if you're a statistical outlier, how is a game that released with no marketing supposed to sell well? Do you even know what the Steam market is like?
>>725957395am I responding to a fucking bot or do you have the memory of a goldfish? you have asked me to re-answer the same question 3 times, I'm not doing it a fourth
>>725956893>a good game with no marketing will still sell okayfucking lolname one
lol retardo stupido
