Det är utvecklarna bakom kommande Soul Axiom som gått ut med information rörande vad det kostar (på ett ungefär) att få en "populär Youtube-gamer" att spela deras spel i en av sina videos. Tydligen ville en Youtube-profil med "några miljoner prenumeranter" ha 22 000 dollar för att spela deras spel i ett avsnitt och länka till titelns Steam-sida. Det är 176 000 kronor det för en liten Youtube-video.
Ben Tester, Wales Interactive (via Reddit):
"On one of my normal PR rounds I received an email from a very popular YouTuber with a few million subscribers offering to have one of our games featured on their YouTube channel for a rate of either $17,600 for 2-3 talking points or $22,000 for 2-3 talking points AND a description link. Upon reading this my jaw dropped. Is this real? Are there developers out there that pay that sort of money to have their game featured in one video?.
I must stress that I emailed the Youtuber first to ask if they would like to receive a free code for our game to play for their channel. The Youtuber did NOT mention anything about making a positive promotion nor was this a scam from a fake Youtuber . Finally I'd like to state that I refused the offer."
