D-Day for D-Day? In its heyday Oklahoma D-Day was not only the coolest paintball game on the planet, it was one of the bigger games in the world. Seven days of amazing paintball games, culminating with the Saturday morning beach assaults with 2500 players on the field was a sight to behold and an amazing thing to be a part of. And to be honest, the game is as great now as it ever was… minus the player numbers. And that’s a big “minus.” Why is this game losing its numbers? Poor marketing. Dewayne and company, we love your game, we love your heart for this event. But “word of mouth” marketing just doesn’t cut it anymore. Prediction: : Just typing these words hurts. We’re predicting this once proud game will lose its critical mass in 2019 and fall into the “it’s just another scenario game” category. www.paintball.media 063
