Another relevant video for this topic I found again (: https://youtu.be/Q4F-zdpFb9I?t=309
Edit: (After viewing it again, it’s more about marketing Indie games. But still interesting )

Gotta agree with @Jaapbaardaap, youtubers are one of the main sources for information about games, for myself and most people i know. (U.S)
Some youtube channels i watch for games
Angry joe show
Robbaz
Top hats and Champagne
Total Biscuit
Ive already seen Skallagrim mentioned in here and scholagladiatoria.
Both are channels i watch on a regular basis, and their fan base would be very interested in KC:D.
I dont know if all those sites/email adresses are still actual, but this is what we have used in our company on promoting our game like 1 year ago. I hope this will help you
PS: I had to replace @ in the email adresses with ? because forum was recognising them as users so If you want excel version I can send it to you

This link might help but idk
http://vidstatsx.com/youtube-top-100-most-subscribed-games-gaming-channels
Personally I don’t subscribe or follow anyone. I just find good videos, millions of views don’t really mean its a good vid about a game. Oh also, Skalagrim might play it! He’s into medieval combat.
Right now Skallagrim do not want to play the game, because of the early stage of the game. He waits fpr a more proper version. So maybe on beta.
So on the Dutch site pu.nl they just ask the communitie who they should interview. Of course i said Warhorse. But just to make it al little easier for them, who should they contact? @TobiTobsen @DrFusselpulli
Also there are a few people how are interested in the game there.
Estonia:
Printed magazine: [digi], contact martin.mets@presshouse.ee
Youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/user/HDTanel (though the audience for him is mostly kids)

3.) http://www.gamespot.com/ - Gamespot; popular and trusted for their honest reviews.
4.) http://www.gameplanet.com.au/ - Game Planet Australia, another sizeable following.

Love this page man!! Chat shit, get banged.
Russia. Guess it’s most popular media.
AUSTRALIA
Gameinformer magazine.
eBgames www.ebgames.com.au
This magazine is the only gaming magazine sold in eBgames Australia. Amazing gaming magazine whith monthly issues which showcase upcoming games etc.
eBgames is Australia’s #1 go to gaming store. Get in touch with them and they can do a huge promotion in their stores. You ask any Australian to name a gaming store and I guarantee you the first thing they will say is eBgames.
with eBgames you have a huge customer base both via shopfront (hundreds of stores across the country) and online.
For Turkey:
Level --> Web/Magazine
It is the best selling game magazine in Turkey.
Silikonvadisi.tv --> Web
Also I highly recommend to contact with Silikonvadisi.tv
You can find their contact adress:
http://www.silikonvadisi.tv/iletisim
They make reviews about games, and their videos are embedded to the Turkey’s most visited (and 3rd in Europe) news site.
And their video page about games and technology,
As you can see that,
The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone
40,487 hits
Might And Magic Heroes 7
47,413 hits
and so on.
As people above have said someone like TotalBiscuit would be perfect.
Yes, we know about TotalBiscuit, but he said he would not play games in early Alpha stage.
I think its not a bad idea to wait for lets players to play the game. Better give them a more finished product. It gives a better impression to there viewers.
