Atlas Launch delayed, but the hype meter was on overdrive

Atlas Launch has been delayed, viewers showed up in mass on Twitch.

During the failed launch of Atlas on Dec 19, we saw over 210,000 viewers on Twitch waiting to see what the game is all about. For a game with very limited information other then some screenshots and 2 trailers, I find the hype meter really high.

210,000 viewers
Some of the biggest streamers on Twitch all switched from their regular scheduled formats to showcase this new game. Here is a look at the game directory on Twitch with some thumbnails of majority of the streamers.

Judging by the interest in viewers and of streamers, this game may do really well if the next launch window isn't delayed again. What makes this game different from other mmo's is how they are saying its going to be similar to EVE Online with having a majority of players on a single shard.  If they can pull that off, with ARK like mechanics and trading economies from EVE, this maybe one of the best games for streamers to get into for regular sessions.

Check out our new PlayAtlas wiki website being developed.

That being said, if it gets into EVE Online mechanics with full loot and ship loss it may turn off a lot of players. All of it depends on the time it takes to create ships and gear. If its very easy to create ships and gear then that also makes things alittle gimmicky. Since its on a single shard type of server setup, stream sniping is going to be a issue for streamers.

12/21/2018 - Latest Update from community manager states they will be allowing some streamers into the game before launch. Here is the discord screenshot of the full statement.

Overall this entire roll out has been poorly managed for the game in my opinion.  A lot of things should of been setup and handled better way before launch date(s).

How to get free game keys sponsor for your twitch stream!

Listed here are a couple of websites that provide the link between game companies, developers and content creators to connect for sponsorships. If you are a streamer, you should definitely think about joining in on these sites for possible free game keys and more. The more viewers, followers and content generation you create, the more sponsorship doors open up.

Guide on how to get free game keys for live streaming and video content creation.

Game developers are looking for influencers to play their games on live streams and on videos for youtube. What makes these services very helpful is how they screen out fake content creators. Each content creator supplies connections to their Twitch, Youtube, Social Media and other accounts which then pulls in data to verify the authenticity and traffic levels of the content creators.

Here are some of the services I use for my stream!

1. Woovit - is a self service key distribution platform.


2. Keymailer - key distribution platform and other offers. NOTE: Keymailer may sometimes lists games to which they don't have any keys for but collect your requests in order to sell that to game publishers.


3. Noiz.gg - distributes keys, sponsorship opportunities


4. Terminals.io - key distribution platform, PR


5. Gamesight.io - key distribution platform, PR


6. Arsenal.gg - analytics, key distribution platform


7. Xsolla - keys, affiliate programs, performance-driven
