- Survey results are here! Some thoughts and plans for the future! - 9 September 2020
Hi everyone! General Krukov here. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for participating in the survey! It was my first attempt in doing so, and I was absolutely surprised with the data I managed to collect through it! You've all contributed to the future of Victory Road positively! I would like to take the opportunity to go over some of the survey results as well as my thoughts on them. According to the survey, it seems like about 60% of the people found this game through steam itself, and 40% from YouTube and twitch. It's really interesting how so many people actually ended up stumbling upon this game randomly on steam. I was also reminded that indeed no one really knows about this game's existence outside of steam. This is mostly my bad on not doing much marketing at all, but I find peace in current state of the fan base and rate of new players coming in. Victory Road is not…
