I realized that a new indie developer cannot rely on press release since most press are really not that beneficial.
If you get covered by Kotaku or the like you might have a boost in sales, but in most cases press won't help that much.
You make a game, release press, and then hope for any luck. This could be a very disappointing process.

What can be useful is directly reaching out people.

In the past we had mailing lists. Now we have twitter\facebook and the likes.
Reaching out to people this way can increase your sales a lot more efficiently than some press.

The issue is that new indie developers don't have that much reach as well.


In this thread I want people to post a message they want to shout. For instance a tweet they want retweeted, but it could be shared in other forms.
You write here a tweet or preferably a short message, and then people viewing this thread may choose to share it to their followers.

We don't exchange links, we don't force you to tweet anything, you don't even need to tell you retweeted or posted someone else's message. You just post what you want to spread, and people may choose to or not to spread it.

Sort of a press\reach out TIGForums "service".
