How to choose the right gaming subreddit
Gaming communities are hard to break into. Here's how to pick the ones that fit your product.
Go where buyers ask, not where the crowd is
The massive gaming subs are hard to break into. Genre- and platform-specific communities have players who care about what you make.
Check the self-promotion rules first
Gaming subs punish anything corporate. Read the rules and engage as a creator, showing gameplay, not running ads.
Match the community to your stage
Indie game? The indie and "made this" communities rally behind you. Broader product? The larger subs bring reach but more scrutiny.
Pick two or three, then go deep
Gamers back creators who show up and listen. Go deep in a few communities instead of blasting many.
