Coming from someone with your pedigree (seriously, I know Iām playing on consoles a fair amount but look at your accumulated game time!), I really wish I was most likely to be playing gamesā¦just like everyone else I spend more time reading about games, and collecting them, than playing them!
Indeed, weāre working directly with game developers and/or publishers - and in some cases even more parties that are involved!
We discuss terms of the deal (e.g. the date / price / anything else), trying to make sure that weāre able to come up with an amazing deal for you guys. We always try to avoid featuring 7 racing games in a row and stuff like that, so sometimes it can become a cool puzzle to solve.
After we came to an agreement we receive the Steam keys of the games weāre featuring. After all that stuff has been locked-in weāll handle the promotion part and distribution part and split the revenue it with all the companies that were involved. (The developer and/or publisher, but also the influencers that were featuring the game.)
For the games weāre featuring in the coin shop we directly purchase the game keys from the developers/publishers.
Perhaps my avatar on the community hub looks a bit sinister, but in real Iām not. Taken from our about page hereās a picture of me, I donāt look so sinister. (I hope)
The only thing thatās sinister about this picture is that my girlfriend is featured in the full picture, but @frst cut her off the picture.
