Come on Matrix...Promote your games

[mjk428]

Sorry Mr Heath. Didn't see your last post.

To be on topic:

I used to be a regular subscriber to Computer Gaming World - that's how I got my game info. Now I just rely on internet word of mouth and checking out some game sites. I don't really see what more Matrix could do that would be effective nowadays.

A good product coupled with a satisfied consumer is the best available marketing.

A magnificent game like WitP (but a little less time consuming [;)]) coupled with enthusiasitic players can be abig hit. Maybe all we need is another hit like I hope cEiA will be and with some guerilla marketing we can be as succesful as the Browncoats.

I'll agree with that Ursa, but I think what Dredd and I were talking about was promoting a game BEFORE release, to generate the buzz needed to sell more copies when it is released. I agree that happy people are the best marketing available, thus why I bought both Battlefront and ToAW (when it was on sale, another great tactic). But what I was referring to was what steps are taken to make sure that, for instance in the case of Carriers at War, a buy who is only nominally interested, decides that he should put money aside to buy it.

Mostly, I think Matrix does a good job. They are one of the few developer/producer (I am also rather active on Kerebos's Sword of the Stars forum) that actually come to their forum to both answer questions, deal with "messes," and promote their titles. In truth, this sort of support makes up for some of the lack of info on the main page. If I wasn't such a forum goer (like never logged in at all), I might think that some of these projects were either dead-in-the-water or not yet started from the accounts on the main pages. Coming to the forum, one finds that all projects are rather vibrant and quite alive. I'm not sure this is a big problem though, as I would think most buyers from Matrix at least browse the forum if they don't post.

I just see partisans and protectors.

But thank you for correcting an obvious problem.

If my wife registered here and got a reception like his did, y'all would get one hell of an "introduction" from me. Sexual harrassment and internet stalking is against the law, at least in the United States. Apparently it's what passes for polite conversation in Denmark. And apparently it's not enough to warrant the attention of any moderators, as it's allowed to go on and on and on.

Interesting that you would bring up the law. Isn't it also illegal to encourage a mental case to commit suicide? How'd y'all solve that one again? Oh yeah, ban the victim.


I see Term has finally had some action taken against him. Another 27 warnings and you might have to start worrying too Dog - though something tells me you don't have the 1000' leash that he had.

[Ursa MAior]

Well T is mean. And you are oversensitive. But that is your business not mine.
 
Here on the General forums y'all come together or not at all.

[UndercoverNotChickenSalad]

[UndercoverNotChickenSalad]

This thread was a discussion about whether Matrix promote their games or not successfully.

Good to see it's taken a nose dive like every other fucking thread on here.

Nice one.

Oh, and frgpugs, nice of you to post that

Your all fools

I was talking to all those who made my wife feel unwelcome.

Smead,

There are no partisans only moderators who try to do a good job and work on our products as well. Erik Rutins has become a whipping boy for some of you a simple misunderstanding. We hav both held back banning people assuming people will calm down and act their age and we all could move forward. Instead they few people get worse. For the true public record I and not Erik deleted Lisa account and thread by mistake after reading the forum and confusing the thread with another flare up that was happening at the same time. Erik told me of my error within a few minutes of me doing it. I emailed Lisa and told her of the mistake and let her know could have her account back.

I hope this once and for all clears that up.

[frgpugs]

Well im kind of talking for lisa here,And she says that she still cannot log in on either one of her accounts.
Otherwise she would be here defending herself.
But i doubt she will ever come back here permanently after the way she was treated.
So well done on that front.

First let me say I am sorry for the way your wife was treated here. It was a misunderstanding as you can read from above. Since she didn't reply I figured she had had enough and just left. This is NOT what Matrix is about but sometimes things like can happen. Please feel free to private message me and I will fix here account or better still just have her make a new account and let me know what it is.
