Atlas devs sat down for a Q&A regarding the release of their new 40k concurrent MMO hit.

00:00 - 00:05 So we noticed Ark wasn't making much money anymore

00:05 - 00:07 We need a new strategy we said

00:07 - 00:10 What can we do though? Any ideas?

00:11 - 00:16 Nobody is buying our expansions and all we have is this shitty pirate DLC. Our team lead said "Wait"

00:17 - 00:21 Let's market that DLC as a brand new game

00:21 - 00:24 new game

00:29 - 00:31 new game

00:31 - 00:34 And we'll pay streamers to hype it up for us

00:38 - 00:40 new game

00:41 - 00:47 we'll market the game as 40k concurrent players

00:47 - 00:50 but if 40k people try to join

00:50 - 00:56 the servers overload and won't let them in

00:58 - 00:59 but they keep trying

00:59 - 01:01 for 2 hours they try

01:04 - 01:06 and after that 2 hours

01:06 - 01:08 they can't even refund the game

01:13 - 01:14 new game

01:14 - 01:16 we forgot to take an Ark menu

01:16 - 01:20 out of the reskin

01:21 - 01:27 "40k concurrent players" but we cap zones at 150

01:35 - 01:36 and if anybody complains

01:36 - 01:39 we just say "early access"

01:41 - 01:44 But no, no seriously,

01:44 - 01:47 it's a great game

01:47 - 01:49 pirates and crocodiles and shit

01:50 - 01:53 40 thousand players on the map

01:54 - 01:56 40 thousand

01:56 - 01:58 40 thousand happy customers

01:58 - 02:02 well they better be happy, they can't refund it now anyways

02:05 - 02:07 new game

02:10 - 02:11 40 th-

02:11 - 02:13 40 thous-

02:15 - 02:17 40 thousand concurrent players

02:17 - 02:20 our current servers can't even support 40

02:21 - 02:28 and they're all buying it anyways because we paid the streamers off

02:29 - 02:30 Host: "In G-Fuel?"

02:30 - 02:32 In G-fuel yes of course

02:36 - 02:39 they can't get enough of that shit

02:40 - 02:42 strawberry is their favorite

02:50 - 02:55 so that is how you make a million dollars off a reskin

02:56 - 02:58 Host: "Will it ever be good?"

02:58 - 03:04 Honestly we don't care, it's our 3rd early access game

03:04 - 03:09 we make our money either way, doesn't matter if it's good

03:09 - 03:11 who finishes games these days

03:16 - 03:20 just sell reskins

03:23 - 03:26 they don't even have to work
