Well as most of you probably know already, some famous let's players and reviewers get a free copy of a game from it's own company so they can test it out and give their own opinions on it, well personally I dislike most of the let's players, but there is a bunch of them which owns a huge fandom, that can help any game to get more noticeable, and also there is reviewers, for example Game Grumps with it's Steam Train, TotalBiscuit with it's WTF is... Series, Classic Game Room, etc. And well the bigger ones could totally make reviews, like IGN and Gamespot, and especially video reviews on youtube.

I'm really sure that could increase the ammount of players on ManiaPlanet, and also better marketing could be good, Canyon got like 4 or 5 more trailers than Valley which got 2, the gamers wants excitment, I mean , Ubisoft is Nadeo's publisher now, one of the biggest gaming companies, they series of games like Far Cry, Rayman, Assassin's Creed, Driver and others are extremelly famous, I'm really sure Nadeo could take advantage of that and ask some help from Ubisoft for better marketing of the game, bring more players to it, get ManiaPlanet the ammount of players it deserves.

Well sadly there is still a bunch of people who never heard of Maniaplanet, and a lot of people think that TM2 is the same thing of TM1, if we get more reviews, let's plays, more marketing and more community power, we can prove that otherwise

I am suprised to see no test of Valley on famous german gaming sites (gamestar, pcgames etc.). Sending them a free copy is totally worth it, because then it's more likely more people will buy it.

Don't know what Nadeo is doing?

there's one: http://www.eurogamer.de/articles/2013-0 ... alley-test

basically, they think that stadium and valley are equally okay, but stadium is a better offer since it's cheaper.

True! Just give them a free copy and let them advertise if for you :)
It doesnt cost you anything, because you give away a copy to some1 who wouldnt play the game anyways.The only thing you can get here is exposure & buys.

Give f.e. warowl, levelcap & hatton a copy and let them review it!

warowl(CSGO) = 22.500 subscribers

levelcap(BF3) = 350.000subcribers
http://www.youtube.com/user/LevelCapGaming

Hatton(CSGO) = 27.000subscribers
http://www.youtube.com/user/HattonGames

Ofc there are better channels on youtube. Its just an example :)

I agree with OP .. give those lets players a free copy of the game and let them review it.
It will reach a large group of people who have (probably) never heard of it and therefore can potentially boost sales and interest.

It can only be a positive move towards more exposure for the game !

Just do it :thumbsup:

We could gift one of the MP games for GameGrumps since they are playing PC games now
