So I just got Vicky 2 and EU III some airtime on a radio station

He should contact our marketing people about getting an excluive interview then.

I can ask him, actually. The show's on Wednesday. They usually talk about PS3 and XBox, but I kept bugging them.

Well thanks to the power of Skype, interviews with people in far away places are not as costly as they used to be.

I've told Susana about this so no one will be surprised if a local radio station somewhere in Texas gets in contact with us.

 

[Fredrik II]

My friend owns the station. :rofl:

Good job!

You might get, at most, a few dozen people to purchase the game that might not otherwise have. Most likely you'll only get a handful of die-hard history nerds who never heard of paradox before to buy the game though. This kind of game doesn't exactly appeal to the average person.

So, maybe we just really believe in our game and will take any opportunity to talk about it. Still we need the radio statio to contact us.

Word of mouth is what will sell this game, I think.

Put it this way: If its as good as it looks, me, Gelion, Tekee, and several others who frequent civfanatics are going to be raving about it in the dedicated PI thread there. I know for a fact a fair few copies of HttT got shifted that way. Someone will post a screeshot in the alt history media section of althistory.com, people will see the astoundigly good map, get curious, and buy a copy. Rinse and repeat.

In fact... it might be well worth some of the PI marketing crew's time to register in those forums and do some stealth promoting (a concept I normally find stomach-turningly loathesome)...

If I were to register ont he Civ forum I would register as me. People figure out who you are sooner or later and when you get caught deciving people it costs you more than you gained.
