Well few months ago Planetside2 had 50k+ likes more than Dust514 had on facebook. Atm PS2 has around only 15k+. Well i d say Dust514 is getting more and more popular. I dont say it is a groundbreaking indicator, but still it shows a tendency which can be at least a bit relevant.

Also what i noticed is that PS2 had lot more of advertising on FB than DUST514. Which is a good thing considering that DUST514 is catching up. Alos what i noticed is that lately EVEonline is getting advertised a lot on FB. Aint that a wrong move, shouldnt CCP go all out now on DUST514.

PS. Dust514 is reaching the famous 100k likes.

We are glad you took time to leave the Justin Bieber fanclub page long enough to post this.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Perhaps soon CCP will institute some kind of Likes -> Aurum mechanic so we can all buy barbie clothes and play dress up while we sit alone in our captains quarters.

Facebook Likes are certainly an indication of exposure. And you can't sell anything if you don't have any exposure.

Not everyone. But there are nearly 1 Billion facebook accounts, and 7 Billion people in the whole world. 8.3% of facebook pages are of fake people and several people have multiple pages.

Idk where I'm going with this, other than there are ~80Million Neck-Beards-Posing-As-Women on facebook

FC, what do?

Actually..it is. Social media is a free and sound source of marketing and market measures for your product. If you put out a game and your competitor puts out a game, and both of you spend certain amounts of money on marketing those games, you would normally utilize different tools to see what your media impressions are and your exposure statistics to determine the affect of your marketing campaign.

Facebook, while limited, does this in a direct and simple way. If your game has 50k+ more likes than the other guy's game, that means you're getting more exposure for your game.

Do more likes mean you'll hit record breaking sales? Not completely, but it's a good bet to say it shows that your game is being noticed and will sell pretty damn well .

Does it help as a facet of analysis to justify and learn from your marketing campaign and strategy? You bet it is.

DISCLAIMER EDIT: Despite my feelings about FB as a useful marketing tool, I still hate Zuckerberg.

How many people own a PS3 again? I thought I saw a number around 4 million? The new PS3 version they put out has Dust514 "pachaged" with it.

PS2 is going to do very well I think, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to be a million person strong F2P MMOFPS. Dust shouldn't have any trouble dong just as well being a PS3 exclusive.

I also don't think people are going to be as critical about Dust514 as they will be with PS2. MMO players are a whiney group, they'll be bitching about every little thing to do with PS2. The console MMO market is really just starting, I don't see console players quite at that point were they've become jaded by an oversaturated MMO market that they're critical about everything to do with the game just yet.

I also have this strange feeling that PC gamers are generally more apposed to using sites like FB.

For once I agree with a Goon. PC Gamers have this aversion to FB, whether it's some feeling of superiority or too much tin foil conspiracy reading. It's ridiculous, but a market fact to take into consideration when well, marketing.

Exactly. Well i am working in a marketing agency. And in that world FB and twitter are everything. Its free and it reaches hell lot of ppl, (future) customers and it entertains the current ones. I am around social media a lot, thats why i have some time to follow certain interests of mine. As i stated, those stats are not groundbreaking but FB and Twitter can be really useful in perceiving what customers like and what not, to predict sale and to monitor competition.

I dont use Facebook (that means I'm going to shoot-up a cinema, right?) but I can see how popular it is, and the more "likes" or whatever on social networks can only be a good thing.

You DO know that "the thing" to do is to buy likes, yeah? And that it's a well-known thing that the VAST majority of likes that people love raving about are fake? So that makes your post, what? A waste of bandwidth?

Yup, I thought you'd agree.

I think advertising for one pretty much covers the other, when you get here. ..or there.
