Tpain said he won't be playing New World anymore.

Saw some clips. It was hilarious. Best marketing campaign ever and money well spent. Now someone needs to auto tune him saying that.

Would have gotten more people with targeted ads or a discount on the base game during the giant sale that just took place.

I have no idea how Amazon managed to make such a fun game in the first place with how incompetently it is being handled after launch.

Who's Tpain?

Someone AGS just brought on an official stream to hype the game, then he turns around and says the game is unfun lol

[Foxglovez]

Yeah, probably cuz the devs still think the game is fun, was fun, will be fun. Doesn't bode well for the future. They still have a bad case of outoftouchitis. Thanks for the info Dog.

Rapper/streamer that charges obscene amounts to stream and talk up games.
War Thunder devs said this video cost them less than what some of the Twitch "streamers" wanted to stream their game last they checked.

Paying some dude and he does negative advertisement, classic AGS

Even Baggins, arguably their biggest unpaid hype person, isn't too optimistic about the game, at this point. He still seems to enjoy it but he is understanding about why people are leaving.

Baggins is sposored, too. when the re-release happened he had many videos that were directly sponsored. all the "beginner tips" were sponsored. not only did he say so, who makes beginner tips for a 3yo game otherwise...

I mean, i have actually never heard of this tpain person but when he gets sponsored and subsequently craps on the game I have new found respect for him.

Man some of you must live under a rock. T-Pain made the Vocoder and Auto-Tune become well known to mere mortals. Before that nobody knew almost every famous singer had enhanced vocals. Now almost every new artist is using it which is why all of a sudden everyone and their mother is making music. T-Pain made the synth obvious and took it to another level with songs like I'm Sprung and Shawty.

Do you have a link to one of these sponsored videos?

Dropping videos for beginners for a game that just expanded to consoles makes sense.

not under a rock, but not on social media, either. the only platform i use is youtube. blame their alorithms for not introducing this person to me.

edit: but sometimes word-of-mouth still functions and now I know. and that's excellent.

If they knew the first thing about their target audience, they wouldn't be paying for marketing from celebrities their audience has never even heard of.

Then again, maybe they know, and they would rather let the game dei than see it succeed if it means they had to acknowledged the importance of a specific identity group that they would rather pretend doesn't exist.

they're trying REAL hard to pretend the PC players don't exist and that's a fairly large group. so yeah I have no doubt whatsoever that they'd go to great lengths to get what they want.

So we can thank T Pain for allowing donkeys to bray so melodiously into a microphone... XD

[KAIIRU]

No way they spent that money on T-Pain instead of hard working developers, right sisters?

T-pain said the game was bad though. I trust his opinion.
