Looking for the Right Contact for the Microsoft Store Version of 0 A.D.

[Tongfei]

Hello 0 A.D. / Wildfire Games community,

My name is Tongfei, and I am from MIRACLE GAMES (MG), a Microsoft Store ecosystem partner focused on PC publishing, store operation, and additional monetization opportunities for games and apps.

We are reaching out because we noticed 0 A.D. is an open-source SLG project with a strong community and history. We are interested in discussing potential advertising or promotional support for the Microsoft Store version, but we could not find a direct contact.

We would like to connect with the team member responsible for the Microsoft Store release, distribution, or advertising coordination to understand:

1. What engine or framework is used for the product?
2. Current status of advertising SDK integration or technical setup.
3. Any technical challenges we could assist with.
4. Planned or suitable ad placements that would not disrupt user experience.
5. Main user regions and approximate distribution of players (if visible from backend data).

We fully respect that 0 A.D. is community-driven and open source. This post is solely intended to locate the correct contact and understand whether this discussion is relevant.

If anyone can help point us to the right maintainer or representative, or forward this message internally, we would greatly appreciate it.

Below is my email address: wutongfei@mguwp.com

Please feel free to send email to me! I really appreciate 0 A.D.'s growth story and would love to help you grow together!

This is either a bot, or the real deal, but either way I’d ignore it. We don’t want this game monetized (or we’d already be selling it), so politely, @#$% off.

(I know nothing I just said has any real value, due to me not being an official part of the dev team, but there’s a taste of how the community feels)

Hello, that would be me. 

Thanks for reaching out, but indeed, we are currently and for the forseeable future, not interested in adding advertisements to the engine
