This is going to seem like a bait thread but it's not, can you forsee a future where video game characters are used as influencers to promote their own game? Does that concept interest you or disgust you?

v-tubers would still be more soulless

it makes me want to paypig so I fully support it

Whenever developers become a little more savvy maybe.
I think it'll be a while before that happens though, I don't really see the issue.

Like what Motomu Toriyama did with Lightning/Eclair Farron?

I was a thing in the late 90s and 00s, Lara Croft was the OG on this but lots of games did it, so yea I could see it coming back.

>marketing thread
pay me for my opinions, pajeet
or fuck off and shit in your street

Those already exist, Smash Bros for example uses that idea all the time.

League tried that with their Chinese pop girl or whatever, but Koreans screamed and stopped buying shit until riot removed her from pr stuff.
It'll never work on a global scale because of issues like that, some nation will find something to get mad about, but we've already seen more globally friendly brand mascots as shills for shit. Mario, Ryu, sonic, master queef, Ricky Bobby, etc.

seems like something riot would do and riotfags would fall for

nigga, it's being used right now
every time there's a trailer there's a bunch of horny ass dogs with tablets waiting to draw porn of the first female they see

>people pretending to be 3d pixels on social media to promote vidya

>This is going to seem like a bait thread but it's not
It is, you just want to spam OW porn, like the cumbucket brain you are
>can you forsee a future where video game characters are used as influencers to promote their own game?
happened decades ago, you fucking zoomer faggot. Lara Croft literally gave interviews for her upcoming game.

Whats this now?

already a thing. this whole marketing campaign was uncanny as fuck.

hasn't this been a thing for years now

I'm referring to direct from the studio influencer marketing
Seems like something riot would do
But did she have an insta?

This was actually the concept behind vtuber Dennou Shojou Siro. She was supposed to be a played character to promote an upcoming military-style mobile game. However the game got canceled and she just kind of became her own thing.

It's going to happen for real some day. Video game retailer Play Asia has someone playing their mascot now and advertising games they sell. It's only a matter of time before you see some VA , actor, or even well known streamer signed on to be an "influencer" or streamer who constantly shills a publisher's games.

That shit already happened with Seraphine in League of Legends and it was fucking cringe but people loved it

Basically that what sonic did to help get the ironic love back. First came Dennys Tumblr then sonic and wendys on Twitter and now it's stuck. Sonics at the point of va doubling as vtubers and Podcaster

I immediately thought of seraphine
I could totally see big games doing this a bunch in the next few years.
