MightyCarMods - Car Modifications & DIY - 1,155,105 - Not yet - English

This channel is a popular car enthusiast channel and they might be interested in Automation simply because it's the only game that lets you build your own cars! I cannot say they'd be super interested but I think it'd be worth a shot simply because I believe that car enthusiasts that aren't "gamers" would get excited about this game because of the opportunity for car enthusiasts to make their own cars and they won't hear about it from "gamer" channels because they don't subscribe to them!

These guys are funny "...And Rake loves it!"

Would be good coverage I imagine, I definitely say try for them.

[Trifler]

I'll nominate NerdAlert, although they're probably better after the tycoon part has been added.

NerdAlert - All things geeky, techy, and nerdy in a news format - Unknown - No - English

[Nivracer]

All the people I like are already on there. My favorites are WhyBeAre and FailRace.

Another youtuber I would like to suggest is direwolf20, mostly because I thought of a terrible pun you could use on the email but also because he is a fairly well watched youtuber. He mostly does minecraft, but does do the occasional game review as well and seems to be very fair with them.

In minecraft he is well known for using mods to make incredibly complex machines to automate things so, because I have an incredibly lame sense of humour, I thought it would be a good idea to recommend him a game called automation since he loves to automate things.

here's the info you need for his channel
direwolf20 - Occasional game reviews, lots of minecraft videos - 442,628 - no - English

[Absurdist]

Haha... punny.

jacksepticeye - car sims - 3,423,223 - no - english

jacksepticeye - car sims - 3,423,223 - no - english

jacksepticeye plays a huge range of games not just car sims

Etalyx - Everything(lots of early access & such) - 142,xxx - No - English

He does all kinds of early access and stuff and would probably give automation a try. He tends to be quite positive and I think alot of people watch his channel to see games they wouldn't otherwise have known about.


SpeirsTheAmazingHD - wide variety of games - 549,xxx - No - English

Speirs is a nice guy, and judging by a few of his videos he is a bit of a car guy. He drives a Charger SuperBee so yeah..


Other than that, I know Robbaz has been mentioned but I'll mention him again because you HAVE to get that guy to review this game. Seriously, Everything that guy touches turns to gold. He can take the most boring game and make it hilarious.

I also think that given his style of videos that his subs are much more likely to watch a game they wouldn't know about or be normally interested in because he can make anything hilarious. So it would help to bring the game to people who might not normally have paid any interest to it.. I know personally, I watch anything Robbaz does even if I don't like the game because its still entertaining.

What about people here that've been around since very early on? I have a youtube channel for let's plays of strategy games and was planning on doing one for this prior to the steam release (without realising there was an embargo) - is it being said that I won't be allowed due to not having enough subscribers?

[Killrob]

@Drake: Etalyx is a good call, I added him to the list, exactly the kind of channel we are looking for here. Regarding SpeirsTheAmazingHD, he's on my list already I am pretty sure Robbaz will do one or more videos on Automation, we've prepared for him some special things too

@Miganto: There is no embargo for the public version of the game, that is just for the closed beta. We invite people with enough reach to take an early look so that they can be prepared once the game launches, which is common practice. To get a free press key that gives you access to the dev builds you need to have an audience large enough. The reason for that is simple. Amazing, super-and-game-enthusiast audiences give something close to 1% conversion rate. That would be 10 copies sold per 1000 unique views. Normal gaming channel conversion rates would be well below that. So you see, we are no charity and considering our team size need to be efficient in getting the word out. That is why we would like to but CANNOT care about the small guys too much, it's just not feasible for us.

Ah I see - you're looking for the heavy hitters to send the game to for them to review (advertise), but I (with my small channel and current version of the game bought and played with) can still go ahead with let's plays but under the knowledge that I am using an 'old' live build not including the new shinies you have put on your youtube channel?

Why do I get the feeling this is slightly sarcastic?
