| Wyrdness said: You are going off on a tangent as it's the only way to make your argument seem bigger then it is, you've done the exact same thing with your argument with someone else who has said exactly what I'm getting at in that it's not your own product so the excuse that it's advertising so you deserve to make money off it is laughable, the reason I'm ignoring some of your argument is because it's not worth addressing what isn't relevant to what I said. I think your brain is already turned off tbh, you're arguing how intended marketing doesn't guarantee this and that then turn around and try to argue a YT video increases sales etc... You do know what word of mouth means right? People talking to their friends, people recommending of forums, magazines and media outlets doing articles/blogs about the game etc... it's been going on for years before YT, I didn't ignore other examples as they fall into the same category you've just chosen to look at the replies in your own angle to tell yourself I've ignored them. |
No the reason you're ignoring some of my stuff is because it doesn't fit your agenda that is so ridiculously unsupported already that it's completely laughable anyway, even the things you're responding to are completely missing the mark. The funny is that what you call "laughable" on my part is largely standard in the games industry, it is completely accepted and even wanted by the companies.
I mean seriously? You can't fathom that a hugely popular Youtuber can be better at selling a game than intended marketing? Are you so narrow-minded that you can't understand that professional marketing can completely miss the mark or that a company simply much rather uses Youtubers cause for them it's a much cheaper method of marketing? And do you know that word of mouth can ridiculously be fueled by a huge youtuber? Do you think kids didn't tell their friends how funny or whatever Skate 3 is after seeing Pewdiepie play it and that that was exactly what led to said word of mouth? Do you think the exact same thing didn't happen with something like Slenderman? Do you think companies like MS and EA and probably a lot more actually pay for people to make youtube videos of their games for shits and giggles? Have you ever wondered why there's such a huge focus on streaming with the PS4?
But hey I'm sure that armchair marketing genius Wyrdness knows better than all those companies.
