So at @43:13 I've been hearing that word "Social proof" a lot recently when it comes to marketing. It seems true that even dedicated review sites don't know if a new game is going to be hot or not. So it is a chicken or egg situation that you need have a lot engagement to trade up for more engagement. I do like the idea that you mentioned also about packaging your game with other stuff like tutorials, or services to help get recognized. Also don't make your dream game your first game, that makes more sense due to what you've mentioned before. Still I wish I could find a video specifically detailing how social proof works.
