GREAT NEWS
One of the best things about working with news outlets is the badge of honor. Meaning you get to show off that you've been featured or that you've had that partnership etc... that makes future partnerships or news opportunities easier.
I've done a lot of state/regional news here (much smaller) for different projects and it never led to much action by viewers (i knew that going into it) BUT... it led to a lot of prestige and how it impacted the impression of those who already follow and like what you do. It changed perception for sure.
Also there's always the chance that there's that one person in the audience. 1 influential viewer was all it took to complete a kickstarter i did 6 years ago.
Also there could be a viral-news effect where that one article could maybe turn from 500k viewers to millions.
ADVICE
So make sure to use this as leverage to make other things happen... point out to Crypto and Gaming news that you're in the news and link them to the article and the video spot. Use this to get into a news source that is more our target market. Give websites FOMO for not also covering splinterlands.
Yup. The artistic style of the game is also "funky" type engaging to the masses. It's not too "polished" like the other more mainstream games, but also professional enough to appeal to a mass audience. In line with what you're saying, the first thing, of course, would be to embed that video right smack on the front page of the main Spinterlands site. Another important strategy is to mobilize the community by increasing the upvote power from the official @splinterlands account so that there is a progressively increasing incentive for those of us who make SERIOUS posts about the game can be motivated by an increased weekly upvote, which will then incentivize us to put more effort into sharing our content on social media. I think that the FUNDAMENTAL potential of Splinterlands (and ALL blockchain games) is the COMMUNITY. If admin tries to act in a centralized manner there will be a significant limit to the reach of the game, compared to incentivizing players who collectively have the power to really make this game go viral...
