Here in Brazil we treated game codes like any other product. But I noticed that in other regions selling codes is almost seen like selling drugs. However, the reality is that if BMG had provided proper support and financial help, there wouldnât have been so much promotion code selling in the first place.
In Brazil, for example, the community only stayed active because of code stores. I was one of them. I saw content creators who really wanted a partnership with the game, and I even supported many of them.
But over time I realized they never really cared about content creators.
When the codes ended, about 90% of Brazilian content creators quit and moved to other games. The few that remained are slowly moving to other games as well. Itâs sad to see a region that used to be tier S in Brawlhalla end up like this.
A simple update like a creator code system, similar to Fortnite, would help the community a lot. But it seems like BMG simply doesnât care. The only thing they care about is whether thereâs a new video of Pavelski playing scythe.
And their partnership program right now is complete garbage. Free skins on launch day donât pay your bills or put food on the table, BMG.
This is an important point. Brawlhalla in Brazil has never really paid off for content creators. Many of them had to hope they would reach the $100 YouTube payout threshold just to withdraw their earnings.
Those code stores helped support the community for a long time. I donât mind if the codes end, but for them to end there needs to be at least some support pillar from BMG. Even something like a creator code system like Fortnite has, so creators can have some kind of financial support to keep going.
The current Brawlhalla partnership program is terrible. A free launch skin doesnât pay the bills, Mr. BMG.
Most people gave me hate for telling the truth about whatâs happening in our region.
If you think the game is doing well, just pay attention to these points:
Mythic skins becoming extremely expensive
Tournament prize pools getting smaller and smaller
Crossovers increasing in price
Crossovers being removed from the store due to unpaid licensing rights
Have you ever seen a Brawlhalla ad on YouTube, Twitch, or anywhere similar? Because I see ads every day for Valorant, LoL, even mobile games Iâve never heard of, but Iâve never seen one for Brawlhalla. They never invest in the game.
@lyracBH Thatâs the point that few people see. Iâm glad you noticed it. The problem isnât the codes, they can end and that wouldnât be an issue. But for them to end, there should have been a support pillar from BMG for the creators who depended on those stores.
I donât know how the situation is in Australia, since I donât have any friends there. Have you felt the game decline over time?
In my post, the only comments giving me hate are from people in the United States and Europe. Only Brazilians and some other regions actually understood what I meant.
Youâre looking only at surface level numbers. Player count alone doesnât tell the full story about the health of a game.
What actually keeps a scene alive is community growth, incentives for creators, and regional support. And thatâs exactly where BMG has been failing.
Twitch Drops only exist now because BMG is being paid by Twitch to run them, and on top of that, 99% of the time theyâre only on the official channel.
In Brazil I saw dozens of creators with large audiences abandon the game because there was no support, no partnerships, and no incentives to keep investing their time into Brawlhalla.
You still havenât noticed it in your region. For you the game always looks the same, but if you pay attention to the signs, they show that the financial health of the game isnât good.
In Fortnite, for example, when a content creator doesnât make enough money from YouTube, they still earn from their creator code, since a percentage of skin sales goes to them.
When creators leave, visibility drops. When visibility drops, new players stop coming in. Thatâs the domino effect people keep ignoring.
But sure, relax, the game is doing great. Just ignore the part where the player base is declining, content creators have no financial incentive to keep producing content, BMG has no money and is removing crossovers from the store because they canât pay the licensing rights.
Other than that, the game is doing great. đ»
If you think the game should stay like this, then keep making content about your favorite game. Believe everything BMG says and watch the gameâs viewership slowly decline, and then ask yourself, âWhy is this happening? Why isnât BMG doing anything?â
A simple update could have changed everything. Just adding one thing: a creator code system. That would keep the community alive and incentivize content creators, just like Fortnite does.
@Spaceatronix This only proves that youâre an idiot. You didnât care about the arguments, you only cared about the translation. Iâm Brazilian, not from the United States.
@vSinsBH You didnât read the text. The post isnât talking about Brawlhalla in general. Your region wasnât affected, since you walk hand in hand with BMG.
Iâm talking about the Brazilian region, a region that won everything and was treated like trash by BMG just for being Brazilian.
