The only thing I can say for sure is that your twitter feed and mine are very different Nothing gaming related shows up, well ever. Yours is probably more fun than mine.Daeron wrote:Well, I didn't so much as search as bump into them. On a social media platform it was easy enough... There were enough AoS enthusiasts on my Twitter feed and retweets and links did the rest. For YouTube, I simply took part of a community that supports all kinds of games but there's enough AoS support there too.Shannar, Sealord wrote:As to the actual trends in the chart I think it's likely that you did miss things as you mentioned. I'm guessing you were fairly excited (one way or the other) about AoS and as a result you searched for things (and therefore found them), where with warhammer you stuck to what you already knew.

Re: Interesting GW numbers
I think I don't 'social-media' enough to notice AoS (or anything else really...).
The difference probably is that WH never needed social media support. Anyone wanting to play a tabletop war game was bound to run into WH at some point. And there was a very well established forum scene online. No need for social media support.
AoS is very different in this regard. A lot of forums either became more quiet or didn't do anything AoS related. Any online presence would have to come from GW itself. Also, there probably are a few managers at GW who have a lot riding on AoS working. After all, someone at GW got the job of getting AoS going. If it does, he'll probably receive a nice paycheck at some point. If it doesn't, well...
And unlike WH AoS doesn't sell itself. So, a lot more media presence is needed.

Re: Interesting GW numbers
In Britain at least, the Podcasters, TO's of the bigger tournaments and high profile Twitter posters tend to be the same guys. They were always going to go all-in on AoS in the same way that they did with End Times and when 8th edition launched to some controversy.
