If MS is serious about the success of AoE2 DE and growing the playerbase...

Pay popular streamers to stream this game on release. Give those streamers a couple of game keys to give to their communities. Let's make AoE see some spotlight again. And I'm not taking about AoE streamers. I'm talking about streammers with big fanbases especially those who stream competitive games.

Nowadays that's a common practice in the business of video game making. Nearly every big company does that with every new competitive game. Please Microsoft join the rest of the word in 2019.

We already missed the opportunity of doing that with the beta. Look at Blizzard and the remake of Warcraft3 (another popular and old RTS). Blizzard have been tossing around beta invites to streamers left and right. Depending on the already existing small Nd old player base isn't enough if you want an old game to sustain and regrow again. We need new blood.

Thanks.
