HOW TO MARKET
Connect with gaming communities
Gamers are passionate and highly critical. Here is how to earn their trust:
Value authenticity above all
Gamers can spot a disguised ad immediately. Communicate transparently as a fellow developer, founder, or player.
Show, don't tell
Stop writing paragraphs. Post high-quality gameplay clips, smooth gifs, or sharp product images that speak for themselves.
Engage with feedback natively
If a user criticizes your product, respond politely and transparently in the comments. A defensive dev is a dead dev.
Partner with creators
Often the best way into these highly guarded subreddits is to have a respected creator post organically about your brand.
Stop scrolling Reddit manually.
