Writer of the article here. If you've got any input/experience/questions/etc. on how discounts affect sales, let me know! The post is intended to be a living guide, so I'll updated it as I come across more useful information.
- fenomas 12y agoGreat post. Random question: do the game storefronts offer much help with (or indeed, exert much control over) how to get value out of sales? I'm reminded of the famous "Dark side of Indie PR" article[1], where the author suggested (2nd comment) that devs selling through Steam don't necessarily control when or how much their games are discounted. Though your account of Jason Rohrer's game obviously tells a different story. Or is it something you can comment on? [1] http://www.puppygames.net/blog/?p=1574 http://www.puppygames.net/blog/?p=1574
- alexissantos 12y agoThanks! Hmm. That's something I hadn't considered. It's clear you have the option of whether or not your game is included in a sales promotion, but I'm not sure how much influence Valve has when it comes to price. I'll reach out to the indie devs I wrote about and see what the word is.
