Yeah, I may write up a document detailing what I’d accept for ads. For example, I don’t think I’ll accept ads for game releases since they’re not as relevant to game devs as they would be to gamers.

I still don't think that makes much sense as an ad in the Game Dev feed. Game releases really shouldn't target game devs su much as gamers. All of the content in the Game Dev feed should be game dev related, rather than attempting to shill your game.

Yeah, GameDevs are broke with limited time. I never understood the idea of advertising a finished/paid game to other game devs who are trying to finish their own games to make some kind of a profit. It's good for developers to know their target audience. Game Devs are never my target audience.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Don't get me wrong, tho... there may be exceptions. Would Game Dev Tycoon be appropriate? I'd have to think _really_ hard about it. 😝

Tricky one! 😅 Still say last resort. If that was my product I'd focus on Sim enthusiast, RTS groups, fan pages, befriending as many users/fans of popular Tycoon games. Reddit for direct targeting their r/categories. Often I like thinking of game genres & how I would reach their fans. Good exercise😉
