Rewarding finished projects with more stuff ? that’s insane … 😀

I think part of the challenge is that not every company has the margins to offer discounts or anything of substance. The big ones may have the budget whenever they launch a new thing, but the rest are probably happy that they could afford the advertisement at all.

btw : what does it take for a company to be featured on the OTT site ?
Are there any information packets you could send to companies so they know about the options and can budget for them ?

Definitely agree that being able to find / relive the themed weeks is very useful. Now they get kind of mixed within all the other content associated with the game that was part of that themed week.

I think a few small indies have discovered that creating forum posts and projects can be a way to advertise their products.
Maybe it’s something that could be expanded upon ? Those projects would have to be separate from the community content so it is transparent to the regular visitors.

While community created content is a great way of expanding the site it can also feel a bit exploitative.  And it kind of feels like unfair competition to the staff members themselves (why pay them when the community can do it for ‘free’?). It is a tricky problem to solve, but I think it does need thinking about.
