15 Devious advertising makes the game famous

He thought of an awesome idea that would let pretty much every gamer around the world know about his game. He first of all went on the internet and looked for a mask.

After about 15 minutes, he finally found a good mask. It was a demon mask made of hard plastic. It was black in colour. But the problem was after paying for college and buying a bike he didn't have the money left to buy a $60 mask. If he pooled together all his leftover money, he had only about $ 20.

He then quickly called his cousin and told her to transfer him $50 for a while. Supriya didn't ask much and transferred it. He quickly ordered the mask and it was supposed to delivered tomorrow afternoon.

He then went to the gym as it was already time. The day quickly passed. Next day, he got the mask. He then quickly put in on and sat in front of his PC and said something to Andy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Hello, my name is hood. I have to discuss something with you guys. Now listen carefully. "

Shuvam was doing a video chat with about 8-10 people. It looked sort of like a conference call but he knew that the others could only see him and not each other.

All of the people had a grave expression on their faces. They were scared and terrified of this masked man who had hacked their computers and was saying that he needed to discuss something.

" You guys are famous and you like games. After this call ends your browser will automatically open a website. Download the game mentioned there and by tomorrow you need to tell your followers about the game. "

" If not, hehe..hehe…. You know, something bad might happen. Thank you for your time, gentlemen. "

The video call ended. The people who just saw this transmission noticed that a website loaded up in their browsers. They quickly looked at the trailer and their interest was piqued.

' I need to play this game ' , they thought while looking at their computers.

Each and everyone had already started downloading the game. In his room, Shuvam had a satisfied expression as he noticed that the number of downloads went from 0 to 9. It was exactly the number of people he had just contacted.

If one was a gamer they would have probably recognized the nine people from just now. After all, they were no other than youtubers. Those nine people included famous gaming youtubers such as Pewdiepie, vanoss gaming, Markiplier, KSI, Syndicate project, W2S, Ali-A, H2ODelirious and theRadBrad.

The idea he had thought of was to get famous youtubers to upload videos about his game on YouTube. Well, he asked Andy to hack into any 8-9 famous gaming youtubers who were currently using their PC. The people he just talked to were randomly selected but as a gamer he very well knew who they were.

He took off his mask and went to do his things.( things - Reading novels manga and watching anime lol) Contrary to his expectations, the youtubers he just talked were no longer thinking of him as bad news. Their thoughts about the demon masked guy inclined more towards the fact that he maybe an apostle of god.

They didn't dare to be late after the warning and installed the game but when they played the game. They were in shock as to how advanced this game was. It was almost as if they were playing some game that was made about 20 years from now. After all, one person per account, iris-scanning, face scanning in order to model the character with your facial structure. It even calculated your estimated height and body structure based on you face and made a body for you. This function was quite good and they were blown away by how correctly their heights and weight were estimated.

There were no classes in the game but a choice for profession was available to them.The gamers quickly selected a profession. They were all thinking that choosing a profession was normal and selected one immediately. What they didn't know was that it was reward.

The first 10 players were given to get a profession for free as a reward where as others would have to rely on their luck around the map in order to obtain the obtain the profession. It would be available after you found a scroll thingy which would provide your character with the profession. There were various professions such as weapons designer, vehicle modifier, scrapper, pharmacist, etc.

The people with profession were supposed to be rare in the game that is why only 20-25 thousand scrolls were scattered across the map. After the number of consistent players increased to about 5 million at peak hour a day he would release 5 thousand more profession scrolls. It would be and 5 thousand scoll for every one million increase in players.

When the game opened, there was a small animation telling the condition of the world. The players,nine of them were stunned by the real life like animation but what stunned them more was the game's surroundings, its AI. They were stunned by how this game was almost like a different world they were viewing from their magic desktop.

They suddenly remembered that they needed to upload videos. They started using the in-game video recording software and made various videos. They included the very first missions such as getting the apocalypse watch from the base personnel. The flexibility of that game that allowed people to freely talk to the NPCs' and interact with them was also a awesome thing.

The quickly edited the videos and uploaded them. Seeing the most famous youtubers upload videos about some awesome game. It was like a domino effect. Lots and lots of people started downloading the game and started playing. Everyone was happy with the game and were telling their friends about it. Also, the low specifications required and low internet speed required to play it made it possible for even people with crappy PC and slow internet to play it.

Thanks to the in-game video recording software of the game, videos about the game and its extensive map being scouted by the players were popping out here and there in YouTube.

However our Mr. hood had no idea about it and was reading novels as he thought , ' Wonder if the youtubers will give the game a try or not. '

The crystals from the system were also selling like candy all thanks to the connecting the bank account option. People were connecting their bank accounts and buying crystals, at least the ones with money were doing this.

The money was being directed to his account on the dark web. Unaware of the massive cash flow and popularity of the game, Shuvam had his dinner and went to sleep.
