Surely they could of sold it for around £29.99. Would of made it a lot more tempting (I know I'd of bought it straight away at that price).
Lots if people buying it cheaper must be better than a few people buying it at a higher price I'd assume. (Well that seems to be how it works for android/ios apps anyway
).
Well I don't have Ryse, but if I could I would buy the season pass today. Now a season pass isn't much good without the game, so it doesn't matter to me whether the game is full price, 17% off or 33% off. In fact it not being full price is probably incentive enough to buy the game at the same time. The other option is sit on the season pass and wait for a 33% sale on the game, and I have done that once before.
If the season pass wasn't on sale, then I totally agree that a 17% reduction may generate a 10% increase in sales, but a 33% drop may generate a 30% increase in sales. But remember those 30% won't be buying the game at full price or the next sale, but the 20% who didn't bite at 17% could bite at 33%. This is why the only games that are 75% off the first time they go on sale are dreadful.
If you have ever sold a house or a car and it sells the day you list it at your asking price, you can't help but wonder if people would have been prepared to pay more.
No I am going way of topic, but if games that were any good were sold by auction (the way to get the highest amount anyone is prepared to pay for what you are selling), I guarantee the game companies would make more money. Imagine if Halo 5 was listed as a limited number of copies a day, you would see the first copies selling for hundreds of dollars and it would be weeks before it was down to $50 and months before you could pick it up fo $30.
