LET'S PLAYERS (AND COMMERCIAL DEVS) UNITE! GET YOURSELF SOME KEYMAILER ACTION!

So, not sure if any of you other Let's Players on the site know (or care) about this kind of thing but I figured I'd post here so that you can all get a piece of the pie. Hell, even the Commercial Developers on the site can have a piece!

Keymailer is a site (currently in a pretty stable beta) that allows for game creators and content creators to come together and serve each other.

Game Creators
You get access to top tier Let's Players and streamers who have the choice to play your games and show it off to a wide audience. Currently it's free to use, though in the future there will be a small fee for Commercial Devs. Basically, you can send keys from your games to people on the site who want to play and stream games. You can either pick from those who have signed up to get a key from your game, or pick from the people who are on the site.

Each player/streamer can be verified by linking to their twitch, youtube and twitter accounts and you can view their types of games and audience amounts by checking these places to see who is the best fit for your game, the size of their audience and what kind of player they are.

Content Creators
You get access to free keys which you can either accept or deny, for games that have yet to come out, are just new or have been out a small while. These keys are gifts - you can choose to give them to someone else or use them for your own pleasure. Or make content from the games and boost your rating on the site itself.

You get access to small indie games and big name games, both. AAA titles and smaller games, whatever is on the site. You can look through lists of genres, current and future releases and queue up asking for keys to certain games. You will either be accepted or denied (or ignored) but it's an easy way to try and get some content to mess around with.

And with the verification ability, you won't have people pretending to be you in order to score free stuff, either. Your content is also added to your page so that developers can see what kind of stuff you bring out, so make sure to link your pertinent accounts to the site.

Also, if you make content on a game that was not given to you via the site (say you do Fallout 4 videos) it will still count as content for the site to show off, as long as it has the correct tags on the video - which is listed for you on the page for that game.



Personally, I've already asked for some keys on the site and have received one key I asked for and one that I didn't. I've done an LP on the one I asked for and might end up doing one on the other. It's worth checking out!

Not much, from what I hear.

"
How much does it cost?

Keymailer is free for game publishers and developers while it’s in beta. Each Keymailer account has a fixed number of credits and each credit can be used to promote a game for 1 month. The tools to offer and send game keys can only be used when a game is ‘active’. You will be notified ahead of the beta period closing. Our intention is to make post-beta pricing affordable to publishers and developers of all sizes. All publishers and developers taking part in the beta are encouraged to participate in a consultation."

We'll just have to see at the end, but they'll let you know before beta closes and it's free for now, so...
