Hype Climb

Demand vs campaign

Demand is how much an audience is asking for a game — IGDB hypes, YouTube trailer views, Wikipedia traffic and edits. Campaign is how much a publisher is putting behind it — recent video cadence and showcase stage time. Both are read from part of the same hypemeter signals, not the hype score cut in two — several of its signals sit on neither axis. This page ranks phases whose demand stands above their campaign, by how far apart the two stand within this set.
