Who introduced you to KSP?

[Cobalt60]

So, if you are reading this, I am going to go out on a limb and say...

You probably play KSP.

So who told you about it? Was it your friend? A youtuber? A relative?

I have a bit of a dilemma here, because Duncan from the Yogscast originally was the one who's video I watched and told me about it, but NerdCubed was the one who really convinced me to play it.

So who convinced you to play KSP?

two words:

Scott Manley

[BagelRabbit]

I was convinced to play KSP way back when the Yogscast's Sips did a playthrough. I think it was right after 0.14 was released, and KSP was still rather unknown; Sips may have been the first major Youtuber to have ever played KSP. Regardless, I was hooked.

This man named Goog Lee. I met him down at the gas station, and we were talking for about 2 hours when he brought it up. I went home and downloaded it (This was back in the .13 days), and it was a lot of fun. I've been here since, and I even remember the switch from the old forums to these ones.

I really found it on the 51'st page of a Google search, but you said Who. So I made up a story.

Some random person in the reviews for the space agency app on IOS, complaint about how horrible it was compared to kerbal space program.

I first saw this game when youtuber Kurtjmac started his lets play of the game. That was all the way back in 0.13. I actually didn't end up buying the game until 0.17, though, because that was when I thought it was appealing enough to be worth the money.

[Helix935]

for me it was Scott Manley although i wouldn't have bought the game if i hadn't seen if hadn't seen the

which will always remind me of why i bought the game

[lajoswinkler]

I think I first recognized it as a game I should download while watching the comments below Gravity trailer the last summer. So, thank you, unknown stranger.

That's my story as well.

Watching one of Kurtjmac's minecraft videos, when the video ended a new video came up. Guess what video it was..

[tavert]

Was watching an Elon Musk keynote on Youtube from late 2012, at the end someone in the audience asked him if he had ever heard of KSP since they thought the video of Falcon 9 re-entering and landing propulsively looked like KSP.

[THENEWJOEMAMA]

I was introduced ages ago by Nerdcubed in his Free Games Extravaganza. I didn't buy it until 0.19, though.

[ZedNova]

Nerdcubed as well.

[Godot]

Noone ... I found it by chance during a google search, downloaded the free version (0.12 I think it was at this time) and was convinced of the game after a short time of playing

FAO for me as well. Don't remember who though

[technicalfool]

Old Youtube videos that showed very early builds of this rather fascinating game where you could torture these cute green people in a variety of explosive ways. Oh, and actually build rockets as opposed to simply flying what you're given like in Orbiter.

It took me until 0.18 before I managed to get the thing though. Various reasons. Glad I snuck in before the April/May 2013 cut-off for "all DLC as well as future core updates" offer though.

HarvesteR. I was still active on the Orbiter forums way back when HarvesteR introduced KSP there. Decided to check it out and was not disappointed.

One of Jefmajor's streams on Twitch. I rapidly fell in love with KSP.
