By all means giving it to us early is like stabbing themselves in the neck. There's next to no way to confirm these NDA's on 75K+ backers. It's easy to keep a tight leash on the PR, who needs to sign NDA's and face penalties upon breaking their rules. But thanks for saying my point is incorrect and then saying my point should be my point. Yeah, those youtubers would be the PR, yeah. it stood well by itself, but thanks for reinforcing the speech with an example. You didn't need to immediately confirm my point.
We criticize them for not giving out game copies to backers at the same time. You might elaborate on that?īut you just missed the point and your whole rant is useless anyway because nobody here criticizes Obsidian for giving out review copies to the press before release. I don't see how giving copies to backers earlier should result in lower sales. That's why streamers on youtube get more and more important as well. I'd say for PC exclusive games of some niche appeal word of mouth from enthusiastic fans is an even more powerful marketing tool. Your base assumption is imho incorrect that nowadays press is the most important marketing channel for games of that kind. Is that a hard concept to grasp? Do you really, REALLY, want to put yourself ahead just to put the future of RPG's like this at risk? REALLY? It's a small price to pay to get more of these types of games in the future rather than people saying 'I knew nobody would want those games anymore these days - just look at the sales figure' If press before us grants that, so be it. If the second, which includes my backing, why would we want sales to stagnate? I definitely wouldn't want that. Do we not want the game to be a success? To sell massive amounts of copies? Did we just back just to get this game knowing it's a one-shot amongs AAA-RPG's? Or did we back so more of these types of games could be made after PoE for us. Why would we, as backers, even WANT to be priviledged like that. Why in the WORLD would Obsidian put the backers before the press at this point.
many people who do not understand press, PR, capitalism, or probably a lot more.
