These ideas are better than the current "EVE is real" campaign and that video that made me squirm in my chair. It sends the wrong message and makes the players seem seem dillusional. Instead of focusing on the emotional bond between eve and the players CCP and the rare large fleet fights they should focus on what makes the game fun - blowing stuff up and trying to get one over on the other player. There is too much focus on it's complexity and politics which turns the majority of people off imo.

So let me get this straight, you want CCP to spend millions of dollars to play a commercial in a country where a large chuck of EVE players dont even live in, for a sports game that nobody outside of the US even cares about?

I dont care how 'super' this 'bowl' is, but why should we care?






Even if this wasn't a hypothetical thread (it is, fool) the super bowl is still the most watched event on the planet. It generates more revenue than most countries, where people don't care about the sport. So CCP would be making a good business move by buying ad time on it. In fact, if they didn't make a DUST ad for the superbowl, I'd question their sanity. You may not get as much of the PC market doing it, but the console gamers would eat it up.


Ever heard of the World cup?

That is hyperbolic marketing speak during the broadcast. The Superbowl may be available in one billion homes around the planet, but nowhere near 1 billion people are watching it.

The World Cup is the most watched sporting event on the planet. It eclipses even the Olympics.

Ok starting to make a story board,

Also what about a pod being thrown with a game going on below it and when it jumps out of the gate you hear touch down?

Another bite :
(never even seen the bloody superbowl!)

Dust players duking it out on planet, with some players in a small screen shown console players.
"all happy and stuff"

* insert flashes of dreads/carriers/whatever in orbit planet.. *

* close off logo of dust "buy it" !!

Insert footage of pc player "some basement dweller"...
all he does is push -enter-

footage of fanfest -> orbital strike

footage of exploding dust players and raging guys on console,
prefereble some dis-belief on faces or pure tears.

EVE-logo ... "where spaceships are serieus buisness"
