JeremyKyle 2 Posted September 23, 2018 In my opinion, the advertising of this game was wack, (or if it even existed), I know this because it is rare that you'll stumble upon somebody that even heard of APB, when I came back from 2 years of inactivity (due to studies) I was very eager to see what the population was on the servers, when I checked I was shocked, it seemed almost like this game was dead; so an idea popped up in my head, what would happen if this game was to be suddenly included in a very well known youtuber's video or be streamed (even once is enough) by a well known streamer? At first I hoped that one day that would of happen but hopes were quickly diminishing, so what about if somebody sponsored a very popular content creator and maybe that'll attract alot of people into trying out the game! - It could be a very good small investment what of course there is always going to be some risk involved in it aswell.

Vitrorax 17 Posted September 23, 2018 I don't see this working right now, sadly. Maybe once the upgrade drops? Server performance isn't *good* a lot of the time, and there have already been a few well known streamers that have tried playing APB in the past. IDK, feels like this game has too many problems surrounding it at the moment for it to attract any potential new players. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipen 20 Posted September 23, 2018 You cant get a bad product sposorised, this game needs alot of clean up and upgrades before this can happen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsb 6170 Posted September 24, 2018 summit1g used to play apb every so often and every time it was just a million viewers watching him get griefed nonstop or a million viewers watching him get disconnected or warping nonstop, he ended up stating he wouldnt play again until the game was fixed - not exactly encouraging to all the people watching him play theres no point in marketing apb in any way until its in a marketable state, not all publicity is good publicity 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VickyFox 353 Posted September 27, 2018 If sponsoring a high exposure content creator then APB really HAS to be optimised, repaired and with new content to entice people to play. By all means a streamers and youtubers can just say no upon sight of the state of APB. It goes without saying that people are not going to buy a product regardless who promotes it if they feel that the product is in a poor condition upon first impressions. First impressions can form as quickly as 7 seconds and they can last for years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yood 345 Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) to sponsor streamers YouTube and Twitch is inexpedient for many reasons. First impressions can form as quickly as 7 seconds and they can last for years. it's enough to make one but very beautiful, exciting, dynamic, memorable commercial . as did WEBZEN , Reloaded Worlds and EA [a]listgames THEHUMANAVATAR the fans . we were interested in playing .

It was a slap in the face for the community that he got a private GM escorting him around, because it's impossible to get a mod in game that doesn't cause havoc otherwise.
