Game One was actually connected to GT back in the day, about 12 years ago. I wasn't really involved, but before GTTV, we were producing a Game One TV show hosted by Daniel Kayser and Amanda MacKay. Geoff was producing Game Head at the same time, and then they decided to combine both shows to make GTTV.
Insert post here complaining about how they don't promote streams on the EZA twitter account
Yeah.. Blood is sick, but i dont get how this is not an automatic thing the streamer do. 1h before a stream, the person streaming tweets about it on the official EZA twitter. They should have some basic rules around these things
Yep, very easy to do and something that should be mandated.
It's also super easy to forget when you're setting up a bunch of little details trying to get the stream started, particularly if you're not in the habit of it. "Mandating it" doesn't do anything for your memory.
I mean this in the nicest possible way but that's a terrible excuse.
It's not a "regular" problem and most of the viewers that are going to tune in are coming from Twitch notifications. I get that it should be done, and I tweeted out about it when I noticed, but it's probably going to amount to like 15 more viewers.
Well that's entirely up to you and your free to run the business however you feel is best.
Not a joke: put something obstructing the cam (a sign or something) that says 'tweet/post about coming event' maybe?
It's just the severity that you treat the issue. Ok, we forgot to tweet. Just kindly remind whoever's streaming from chat.
Sure, I've done that sort of thing at times in the past, but a lot of the games weren't locked in yet this week. I also think with time, people will just get used to Huber and Damiani having this slot every week.
I have said that I appreciate how hard it is to work and said you can run the business how you see fit, not sure exactly how I'm being 'severe'?
I assume this was a hypothetical question, but even as a lurker I thought your tone was confrontational (though I would have used the phrase "passive aggressive" rather than "severe"). Especially the bolded bit.
Regardless of how valid your point may or may not be, I certainly wouldn't have appreciated that phrasing. I mean, calling a missed tweet for a silly stream a "glaring oversight that any modern business" would avoid? Seriously?
I'm not trying to come down on you. It's just that no matter what efforts we take, people are gonna make mistakes. Opening Night Live misspelled gamescom in their intro. I think it's largely a consequence of you following us so closely that you see every one of them, and so invested that you don't just dismiss or forget about them as you would with someone else. In any case, I think Damiani will be fine with covering the tweets for their regular streams, but I'll try to keep it in mind.
Its not whining, but i do get frustrated sometimes myself when the allies miss opportunities to advertise themselves. Another example: Phase 4 introduced a new tier 'Stream Team' and i dont think they talked about it once since their Phase 4 announcement stream. They could have a tweet about just that new tier, or talk about it during the podcast or groupstream or something.
Honestly I wasn't trying to be aggressive, it's just that this isn't the first time this has been an issue and people in this thread have continually brought it up only to be told that it's not worth it or its not a big deal when continued standard practice is important for brand building and awareness.
That's all fair enough and again ultimately for me it's not an issue but as someone in digital marketing it always sticks out to me 😁
Yeah, I can swap accounts without a problem. It's not an access issue, just a step that was missed.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it as well.
Yeah, that was hilarious. It was very well done as well, it sounded how I imagine it would sound (I guess he knows because of his neighbors).
Other people might not have worded it well but I don't think a valid suggestion should be dismissed as whining when it's something that takes no time/effort and there is no reason not to do it.
I think you are seriously overestimating the importance, but I can see your point.
I checked the stats on this. Clear gain of about 70 viewers after the tweet. I stand corrected. (The irony being that without the tweet being late, the data wouldn't be clear enough to back it up.)
Yes, but those are usually way bigger companies retweeting one of their videos, which for sure makes more of an impact.
I understand, but Twitter is just an example to be honest. I kinda hoped Phase 4 would have also brought better marketing iniatives from them. Not just social media but also video announcements, visual representations of their schedules (for patreon, forums and social media), paid ads, etc
