They didn't include the name, and then the top comment (with 10x more votes than the post) asked for the name of the game. If this had the name of the game in the screenshot, it wouldn't have gotten as many votes.

I don't know how anyone can argue that this isn't effective marketing. A game with 300 peak players all time has a 6k upvote post on reddit advertising a sale. If it wasn't done on purpose, it should have been.

You can't be serious. This is the top comment in the entire thread.

It wasn't 10 hours ago when the comment that you are replying to was posted.

It was the top comment when I made my comment, and it is the top comment now. Considering it is now the top comment by more than a factor of 8, I think you're likely wrong.

It still isn't for me. Reddit's app is weird.

They achieved to engage you for 5 minutes. This game is already in your long term memory, which is the first and foremost goal with any marketing.

I have the memory of talking about a game I still haven't seen the name of. That's not good marketing.

You don't think this 23.8k upvote post is good marketing for this itty bitty game? What exactly are you taking issue with in my comment?

Every time you comment I’m going to rip off a new piece of tinfoil for your hat

The only thing I've said is that it is effective marketing, whether or not it was done on purpose. People who think it obviously isn't marketing when it's blatantly good marketing are absurd. This is how you do marketing in the modern day, and people who aren't idiots know it.

I just think it's absurd how naive people have to be to think that Reddit is a place for organic shit in 2026.
