🖥 PC, Multi-platformHow The Team Behind Sniper Elite Uses A Few "Stupid" Tricks To Stand Out On Steam
When you're a self-funded, self-publishing studio like Rebellion, the team behind the Sniper Elite(https://www.gamespot.com/games/sniper-elite-resistance/) series and last year's breakout new IP, Atomfall(https://www.gamespot.com/games/atomfall/), you have to find a few ways to stand out from the pack.

"I know it sounds a bit stupid, but when we don't have the marketing money of people, brilliant people like Ubisoft or Electronic Arts, or whoever it might be, we have to have all those things that will allow people to guess what we are."
