Guerilla Marketing: DO IT

[ Edited ]

Someone made an interesting comment once about guerilla marketing, and how we as the SH community should do it. I think it's a good idea, and if you like this game you should probably try it.

 

A micro-example: So I had my psn comment as "STARHAWK > COD," or something of the like for a while, and surprise, surprise, one of my psn friends decided to buy starhawk (and he apparently hated warhawk). My point being it does work.

 

Anyways, if you guys got any ideas and/or like experiences feel free to share.

I don't market games to people when they are not worth the money they cost. But of course it works in ways. In fact I already tried selling this to people and a few did buy it on release but that was way back before most of the problems were known.

 

I never see those few people playing it anyway as most people don't care to quite honestly until 1.03 hits.

My roommate thought it looked cool so he bought it to play with me. Anyway, he quit playing after two matches because of base raping. Turns out spawning only to die isn't that fun for new players.

I've seen a few people with starhawk in their psn names, one was named Stargawk.

Re: Guerilla Marketing?

My old PSN comment was "Get Warhawk!" but only like two people on my friend list ever did.  It's now "Get Starhawk!" and I'm suure it'll have about the same effect.

I leave my comment as something about Starhawk or Dark Cloud.
