Re: Idea: Test Run a Demo/WIP Game = Steam Code Giveaway
I don't completely understand this, perhaps because I'm not up to speed on how adfly works. So it might be possible to get me to change my mind with a better description. I'll especially need a better description of who profits from what.
But it seems like a terrible idea - I don't want this forum to become overrun with links to url-shorteners that interject ads. So if this was to happen, I would almost certainly respond by telling the forum software to reject those links.

Re: Idea: Test Run a Demo/WIP Game = Steam Code Giveaway
Adfly is a link shortener that when you click the link (example adfly/blankyblank) it goes to an advertisement first and wait for 5 secs then you can skip the ad and finally go to the actual link (the game).A somewhat similar kind of profit making is the Youtube video-you-can-skip ads. I would like to get the game creator's permission first out of respect then feature a steam code. In a way, it's a win situation for all three parties : The developer of the demo for people playing a work in progress, the tester who gets a steam code, and me the one who gets the collected clicks for ad.flyPyTom wrote:I don't completely understand this, perhaps because I'm not up to speed on how adfly works.

Thank you for the response. A response from you is something to highly consider. The idea of adfly was brought up and I actually wanted to know how will people react on this. Will people not care since it only takes 5 secs or be turn off the idea due to the association of profit/marketing in their project even if there is a reward like steam code? Maybe perhaps put ad.fly as optional to the developer who will participate? Beyond the adfly, will people EVEN want a steam code? (LOL surprisingly some don't)
EDITED
Actually I decided to remove it, LET THE GIVEAWAY BEGIN MWAHAHAHAHAH

I don't understand where is your game.
There is only a youtube link, can you give us the game link?
