Fortnite mobile puts the entire gaming community to shame with 100 million DLs.

it doesnt matter if it is or not

that was an example of a point that not all marketing is the same.

spending $10 on marketing is not the same as spending a million, the bit about Steam was an example not to be taken literally

@tryit: so? You deviated from my initial point, so let's go back to it.

PUBG is not the biggest thing in gaming.

and what was my immediate response to that comment you just made? please go look it up

@tryit: I read it and that doesn't matter.

The point is: PUBG is not the biggest thing in gaming.

F2P or not, marketing or not.

Everything else is you trying to cast a smokescreen on that fact.

Please leave the thread and let us talk about what really matters.

What point are you trying to make? That was just twaddle.

and what was it exactly that I said?

1. that its not surprising

why? because

2. when you have a game that is A. free to play and B. has a marketing budget likely larger than the entire development budget of PUBG and PUBG has nearly zero marketing budget one should not be surprised.

would you like to create the framework that will allow me the opportunity to make that point multiple times? because that is what you are doing

To be fair, at the point when PUBG came to Xbox it was the biggest thing in gaming. Nobody expected Fortnite to get as big as fast as it did.

@boycie: true, but then it happened. Poor lems...

thank you for giving me the opportunity to yet again make this point.

A game that is marketed with a million dollars is going to be more successful then a game that is marketed with $10 dollars (again this is an example)

thus Fortnite being A. F2P and B. Marked about a billion times more then PUBG inst a shocker that good old MS can help a game be more successful then a game created by a bunch of indies sitting in a basement. its not something to brag about

Does the fact that GoW is not the biggest game on the planet diminish your enjoyment of it.

You sound like you're grasping at straws here just for some crumbs of ownage.

@boycie: no, it doesn't. But then again, cows weren't the ones claiming that SP games didn't matter anymore and that we had the biggest thing in gaming atm.

You see, we cows do not make bold claims because we know these things usually come back to bite our asses. We are cautious.

I saw Fortnite advertised on Food52 the other day.

FYI, Food52 is a cooking website full of recipes and generally advertises to hipsters with things like overpriced cast iron pans and special urns for holding your fancy salts...

@tryit: lol "Rimworld is advertised like CoD" I can just imagine that. Actually no I can't. I can't imagine multi-story banners going as high as ten floors on the back of office buildings advertising Rimworld.

This thread has just become so sad on a number of levels. Pretty pathetic to think that a game isn’t enjoyable simply because it’s not the biggest thing ever and that we’re now comparing the number of downloads of a free to play game to ones that actually cost money.

On the plus side I've learnt about this amazing concept called 'Marketing' thanks to Tryit.

@boycie: Indeed. As have I. My brain is hurting right now due to all the knowledge that has recently been dumped into it. ?

@Archangel3371: "Pretty pathetic to think that a game isn’t enjoyable simply because it’s not the biggest thing ever and that we’re now comparing the number of downloads of a free to play game to ones that actually cost money."

Nobody ever said that.

I'm simply demolishing lemmings's narratives.

If nobody ever said it how can it be a narrative?

Nobody said you can't enjoy if it's not the biggest thing in gaming.

So what is the narrative you are demolishing then?

Read the thread and you might discover it. I'm not your housemaid to do your job for you.

Is this it

'LMAO, O tought that PUBG was the biggest game of all time.

Once again TLHBO.'

@boycie: Cows and false narratives go together like peanut butter and chocolate. ?

@recloud: Care to point where and who said that?

Charge 10c instead and see how many downloads they get...

by the way...on the topic of marketing, last night I had banner adds on videos I was watching, every single one of them was for Fortnite.

that game gets marketed out the A$$!!!

They've started advertising on Pornhub now then have they?

I didnt check last night but I will if you like.

I understand, I know people who are prudish but I can get back to you on that if you like
