Or an indicator of why actually having a marketing team is a good thing for sales?
Absolutely correct.
I for myself also work in the marketing of a IT company. And I know that the programmers absolutely have no clue how to sell a game.
The biggest mistake Relic makes is spending little to none money for marketing.
CoH2 videos mostly have less than 1.000 views on Youtube, even Relic's don't get more than 10.000.
While most kiddies playing CoD get a lot more than that.
Sad to say and even more sad to disappoint Cynthia because I find her very sympathetic but the only hype for CoH2 comes from Relic itself. Outside the hardliner CoH fanbase there is literally no one who is interested.
Maybe Relic should hire Pewdiepie to play a bit of CoH2.
