   @gamingonlinux @eniko @QuantumWitch

   Yes, absolutely this.

   As an ex games press person with a background in print (haaa 💀 ) as well as online, I'd also like to chip in with: please, please include a link to high resolution screenshots somewhere that won't expire and that won't ever require a password or a login.

   That could make the difference between something getting included in a news roundup or not.

   Sounds like you're already on top of the presskit thing, but Rami's (presskit) still works for me as far as a template with all the essentials https://dopresskit.com/

   Also, bear in mind lead times for print publications (which don't have to be games specific!) when sending releases and review copies.

     @eniko @QuantumWitch you'll be amazed at the amount of emails I get that don't have a simple description of what it is, and forget to even link to the store page <_<

     Having to manually hunt down whatever the f the game actually is...sometimes i honestly just delete the email and move on, we're all too busy as it is, make it suuuper easy

     For emails especially, the store links should be big and clear

     @QuantumWitch @eniko speaking as press:

     - A website with a presskit that clearly lays out what it is, bonus points for a proper intro to it and a bullet point list of features
     - A live store page

     Both need to be easily findable
