About 〈VD〉Retro XXL
〈VD〉Retro XXL is a German YouTube channel run by Dennis Pauler as part of the Virtual Dimension project, which has covered computer games and digital culture for many years. The channel focuses on retro games from the Amiga, C64 and PC eras, posted as long episodic let's play series such as MegaLoMania, Die Siedler 2, Civilization and Doom, plus occasional late-night talk and cooking videos. Typical episodes run 20 to 40 minutes, with about 50 uploads in the past year.
The channel has roughly 2,200 subscribers and a median of about 770 views per video. Its audience appears to be mostly German-speaking adult gamers, with a likely skew toward men aged 35 and older; these are estimates based on content and language, not measured data. Viewers return for series continuity rather than product tie-ins.
Brands considering a sponsored integration can expect a rate of about $150 to $250 per video. At $20 to $35 CPM, that is more expensive per thousand views than paid ads, where $10 to $30 CPM is typical, so the channel suits brands seeking niche, engaged German retro-gaming viewers rather than broad reach.
