My question to the developers: Why is Pirate Galaxy not on social media?

[TunaThePilot]

I ask the developers; Why doesn't this game have an active social media account? I really like Pirate Galaxy and I really want this game to get a little crowded. But neither Twitter nor Instagram is active. Maybe he is active on Facebook, I don't know, but is there anyone left using Facebook? This game needs some advertising. And I am ready to undertake whatever can be done in this regard.

Thanks to those who have already answered my question.

My guess is they don't have the "time/experience/resources" to deal with the social platforms

You could basically ask the same about why the game never was added to Steam hence that it was Greenlit years ago and so might have draged in some players at least. Of course many of us have no idea about the reasons and the only thing i can assume here is that Steam should take a pretty hefty charges for each purchase made over the platform so that they may not have seen much benefit to add the game to Steam in the end just for the hope of get a few more players to the game.

I know a few open-source games on Steam that make no profit from the platform.

I've asked a few times to the devs about "steam release" so far no luck. But my guess is the game wouldn't be able to handle the network increase that steam playerbase would add

In the past, there were more players involved in the game.

The problem is simply that it's no longer worth it. More work in the current 8-hour working time for the same final salary is not really a problem if the desired number of players and followers exist, but that is not the case. It would bring nothing but more stress.

Maybe the high ranking gm's can move these accounts and announce spawn events, invasions and some behind the scenes stuff of Splitt to show what they are currently working on.

If with the average number of players already on the servers, they are overdone. Imagine if the game gets a significant number of players coming from Stram, the servers simply couldn't stand it.

it cant be for profit reasons. steam would only help. they could charge more on steam and keep the normal client still running. Just like albion online. and they could say that we offer a discounted price on the client but if you want to use steam you would pay more. obviusly only the vets would know of this so the steam version would still be attracting new players, possibly content creators and more. so they would end up with more money if they went on steam...

The game is in no state to raise player count via social media. The reasons causing for players to leave have not been improved upon, so any new players coming in would go to waste.

This stunt has been pulled by Bigpoint's DarkOrbit, with the PR move "relaunching" the game as "DarkOrbit Reloaded," and it was a massive flop. It temporarily spiked their income, but players have left enmass due to the unresolved issues.

The game's existing issues need to be fixed first before attempting to gather more players.

There was a facebook client a few yrs ago.
