It's simple really,

Step 1: Pay a bunch of "Youtuber" and Twitch "streamers" to play the game and promote it
Step 2: Get excited as a bunch of new players "pre-purchase" your early-access title.
Step 3: Do nothing to actually keep the individual new player interested in the game or community.
Step 4: Watch as very few players ever come back or continue playing the game.
Step 5: Cease development and call it quits. "Thank you for believing and staying with us :(".

--- (optional steps below.)
Step 6: Create a new game (titled, Rocket League) and do the same thing but this time with staggering success and massive sales for no foreseeable reason. (You might even be rewarded "Game of the Year"). But just remember, the 'title' "Game of the Year" means literally nothing
Step 6: Realize at the end of the day, the only thing that sells game copies is explosions and microtransactions.
