 Awesome! 20 days?! This is one amazing way to finish off this decade! Also, where could we find these detailed sales information? :3

[Jumper 255]

Looks Nice!

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Ok that is awesome. 20 days of x2, 10 days of sales.

 

5 days of special Gold map, 3 in DM and 2 in Juggernaut (solo or team? I hope it's team). Thanks for listening to us and making DM. I just hope the map will be a new one and that the Gold mechanic will not me this meteor garbage.

 

Btw, what will be the drop frequency?

[ALEX22THEBEST 789]

Will be discounts and for paints from garage ?

[Shibecaisu 534]

Seriously, TO! What the hell.
 

You guys can't even give 50% upgrade discount and 70% discount speed-ups.

Like this sales occured only once this year...  Now I should reconsider what to upgrade

Continue to dig TO.

Maybe one day you guys will stop complaining about the "70%" speed up since now we can earn more crystals than before with Monthly challenge (300k + all battles rewards) so be happy with what we get.

I cant stand it when people like you arent satisfied with decent if not great sales. You have ten full days of discounts to mu any of your items, thats enough of time to collect plenty of crystals. 50% in general is a great deal, so I dont get why you are complaining, and now you have more that a week to profit from this sale. This is one of the best sales we've had in years. 

 

In my opinion, 50% sales are already happening way to often, they should only happen twice a year, since it makes affording stuff way too easy.

Truth is, we're never gonna make EVERYONE happy. That's just the way things are. I guarantee that if we made 95% discount, some people would still complain cos we didn't make it free.

 

Here's the thing. No company is under any obligation to give discounts. But they (and we) still do it, and that happens for two reasons:

1. It increases good will with customers, because they're getting something cheaper, so they benefit
2. As a result, customers buy more, which means the company benefits too.

Problem is, you need to maintain a very fine balance. If you give discounts that are too high, or that happen too often, it devalues the product/service, and people will end up buying ONLY when there's a discount, which is bad for business.

 

Now some might say, "Who cares about the business. It's their problem." But in reality, if it's a product or service that you enjoy, you want the company to survive and even do well, so it can keep giving you more of what you're enjoying.

 

There's another thing to consider too. We offer digital services - essentially, ones and zeros. So lots of people think that what we (and other companies like ours) offer does not have any monetary value. But if you think about it, that's not true.

 

Here's what goes into making those ones and zeros:

• Thousands of hours worth in wages for development - that includes programming the game, systems administration and maintenance, web development for official portals and much more
• Marketing, PR and customer-support expenses, including employee wages and all the trimmings
• Equipment and assets, including maintenance, rent etc

For an indi-dev team of just three people, the expenses would still run up into the thousands, per month. And then they release a game, price it at $9, and people complain about how expensive it is, even though it's a good game. And they'll wait till Steam discounts it at 75% to buy it, "cos it's just a game".

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm CONVINCED that many of our players are smart enough to understand why we do what we do, even if sometimes we cannot expand too much on the details. But I still felt the need to share this, because these are the things that nobody talks about in the game dev world, and I wanted to give you a candid glimpse behind the Iron Curtain (pun intended lol).

 

Now, let's get psyched about the upcoming festivities! Have fun!!! 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I can't wait for those epic sales on Christmas. Thanks for the 50% discounts.

[rampage_1 12]
