How do you reach influential Youtubers (Let's Players)?

[snowedinstudios]

There are a handful of elite YouTube Let's Players who make many videos that get thousands of views, and have millions of followers. 

 

Some make their information such as e-mail address, Twitter handle & Facebook page, readily available. Others don't.

 

Whichever the case, they rarely reply to e-mails and/or messages sent to them.

 

What's the best way to reach them?

 

We're about to release our first original title, on Steam, March 11th.

 

Thanks!

Probably email and/or twitter will be the best method (unfortunately for us) without an "insider" to point them to you. Some reviewers such as John Bain (CynicalBrit a/k/a TotalBiscuit) readily make emails and snail mail addresses available. Might drop them a line and see if you cannot get a response.

What an odd question.

I appreciate that this might be a legitimate question, but as we've had a lot of people making threads like this recently just to advertise their stuff I've removed the name and link of the game. You're welcome to share it if it needs to come up during the thread's natural discussion.

Are you kidding? We're deleting people coming by and spamming Kickstarter projects and/or projects and never returning on a virtually daily basis. Just look at the guy's studio if you're that keen to see it.

Well, I guess the thought process is that your game could get tweeted by a decently renown dev from an important studio. This guy would be probably followed by some press, so the thing could start get some attention…
