FanEdit signal pageHow a $100,000 Video Game Fan Edit Campaign Turns Gameplay Into Culture
A $100,000 video game fan edit campaign turns gameplay, characters, maps, abilities, cinematics, and creator moments into short-form stories. The goal is not only awareness; it is making the game feel playable, watchable, and worth identifying with.
