The Xbox News Feed Could Use an Update...

Hey GGG,

Just a heads up that your last update on the Xbox news feed for your game is advertising that Legion will be released on June 10th.

It appears they don't interact with XBox community features...

It's... a dumb thing for them to choose to not do.

Anyone who's downloaded PoE will get exposed to the PoE community stuff on XBox. Anyone.

That means that they could have a free "in your face almost 24hrs a day" advertisement inducing players to play PoE.

And, some new players could see that as well and click on it, see a game they might like to play and then choose to install it.

But, no, GGG, like many developers (apparently) do not care about getting free exposure for their game to potential customers for a one-time expense of a few minutes for a community manager to post on a provided "Community Page."

Every day they are not posting in the "Official PoE Community Group" on XBox they are missing out on personally and directly "talking to" Fifty-Million Gamers.

Fifty Million gamers.

Of course, that doesn't include the losses due to death, disaster, and Xboxes catching fire and burning down orphanages... So, let's say Forty-Nine Million, instead.


GGG is not the only developer that ignores such opportunities. But, I think they should pay some measure of attention to this. The biggest, best, most popular XBox games generally have good interaction with XBox community-focused assets.

If you want to be successful, you have to act successful.
