Very cool indeed. Hype train gathers pace!

Now that's getting the news out there

Holy cow. This hype train I'm on just turned into a hype starship.. because this is absolutely out of this world!  

Yay Intrepid!

Impressive. I hope they nail the marketing. There are many good games that never took off because people didn't even know they existed in the first place.

Steven is wearing sandals on CBS! LOL! That's awesome.

"Guys I have to tell you, I don't know much about video games so, take it away!"

Sounds like me when I'm at work.
(exaggerated)
 "vidya games? Oh, yeah! I hear that's what the kids are playing these days on the ipods and the Andruids. Not me though."

It's ok interviewer, I have a ps4 too.

He really is the chosen one.

Hell, he'll be on CBS' Late Late show with James Corden next! I'd prefer Craig Ferguson and Geoff Peterson but JC will do as far as publicity goes!

I don't believe, not one bit. There's no way you could go for whole episodes without talking about undead. No way

I love that they're getting the name out and all but... why CBS? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't exactly scream target demographic to me.

Still, +10 hype for additional exposure and more interviews for us to watch

Almost 2 years out from release(imo) any demographic will do at this point.

Because CBS had hit shows like the Big Bang Theory, CSI and NCIS. 

Shows that people always assume I watch when I say I'm into video games

Steven is an entrepreneur and making full use of his skills here.  When people debate what Steven brings to the studio except money and enthusiasum, (he has no game developer back ground), I think this move answers those questions.  Promotion can make or break a game and Steven has managed to get this game out there without spending a penny on standard advertising avenues.  If steven keeps up like this by the time the game releases we will have one of the biggest communites outside of AAA releases.

Didn't know CBS reported on videogames. Nice marketing, this should bring quite a few new users to the community

100% agree, and I am very happy that they are exposing more people to the game of course

Did not intend to knock their efforts in any way, but as a consultant I am genuinely curious why they chose this particular outlet given the historically lower cost/benefit ratio of marketing through non-target channels.
