SO happy with Old Skies’s success so far, but early momentum is very important, so leave a review on Steam if you can. The higher that review count goes, the more people see the game. Sorry to e-beg but in the absence of a marketing budget this is all I got! store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

A reader (@paulobro.bsky.social‬) points out that crowds don't gather to watch a building being constructed, whose stages are slow and steady and undramatic. But thousands might assemble to see its demolition. It's a great way of understanding how Trump commands the world's attention.
