    What the hell are you even saying? Are you claiming to be a host of "Let's Play" videos?? If that were true you would have some money to buy a game..

    I think there is a miss-communication here, he probably meant something along the lines of:

    "would it be a good idea for the devs to send some free keys to famous let's players for promotional purposes"


    Right flamingometzger?

    Famous people should have to buy the game too, I don't care who they are. The game should speak for itself. I don't buy a game because JOE FAMOUS plays it. Paid celebs or free product to famous individuals will actually make me NOT buy or play a game.

    lol I love it when people ask for handouts. The developers spent several years developing this game and you can't even pay a measly $24.99 to support them? Now I'm all for them possibly handing out trial copies, but full copies? No, I don't see how that is even remotely fair to them.

    Sry for my bad english but yes thats exactly what i meant, i think they deserve to be paid to, thats why i think its a good idead, cheap advertising. 12 people bought that game because of me, its a great game and thats why it deserves more attention, lets say 20 free copies and maybe 1000 more people would buy that game, that would be a very good trade and maybe even more people would buy this game, my opinion.

    I really do think that this is something you take to UWE PR privately. On the forums for a subject like this you will only be flamed and trolled.

    I do agree with the advertising but I would say that it needs to be done through a competition. "20 copies for the 20 best hand drawn images of flamingometzger wearing a gorge suit" that way people have to find out what a gorge is and then put time and effort into drawing something. That would instantly make them relate to NS a lot more. So that if they do not win a copy, they will still probably go buy one.

    I think 1000 is reaching a bit high, I think half that number is more realistic.

    It's only a matter of time before TotalBiscuit revisits this game anyways. And then all the other youtubers will go "maybe I should do a video on that, too."

    I think best video was Criken's, he had a funny video of NS2 and a lot of people liked it.

    TotalBiscuit will never revisit this game. He plays what gets him views.

    Not a new idea, i been saying that for ages. :) NS2 needs exposure from the popular youtubers and streamers.

    1.) You can say that COD is prohibitively expensive, but NS2? Are you frakking kidding me?
    2.) If you call yourself a fan of the game, you have bought a 4pack and spread the gospel during last winter sale. Yep, that's right: Put your money where your mouth is! Give your money to the deserving developers who put out affordable, original games instead of spending it on the unoriginal yearly rehashers.

    I'm a proud 5 time owner of NS2. My reasons:
    a) NS1 - I loved it
    b) Charlie's announcement that all pre-orderes receive a free copy. Struck a nerve with me. Could you even remotely imagine Activision/EA doing the same?
    c) Winter sale

    Some examples of the bigger YTbers:
    Jesse, Seananners

    They randomly play the game already, TB has already done his "first impressions" press videos. So I doubt he will revisit, unless The Game Station (his network) is contacted by UWE.
