"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Hei!"

"Welcome to the 185th issue of Steam's weekly all-time low game recommendations, first of all, I wish you all a happy National Day, so without further ado, let's start this week's all-time low inventory......"

"Cold window hard reading simulator, the original price of 18 is now the new record low of only 9 yuan!"

"As a domestic indie game just released during the summer vacation, the first discount is 5% off, which can be described as full of sincerity!"

"Maybe you haven't heard of it, but in the circle of simulation game enthusiasts, the cold window hard reading is definitely a boutique, and the touching and inspirational plot and commendable gameplay have won unanimous praise from players!"

"The steam platform has received rave reviews, and the new history is low and not to be missed, Xiao Hei highly recommends!"

-50% temptation is really big!

When the discount promotion of "Cold Window Reading Simulator" was launched, the sales curve of the original flat river suddenly bottomed out.

On the first day of the discount, "Cold Window Reading Simulator" entered the top 10 of the national best-selling list of the steam platform.

Although it only stayed in the top 10 position for one night and fell the next day, it sold more than 18,000 copies in one day, which is comparable to the usual sales in half a month.

I have to admit that discounts are a universal medicine for game manufacturers.

That's just -50%.

What if it's -60%, -70%, or the most terrifying -90%?

Chen Ba didn't dare to think about it.

The 50% discount has attracted so many new players to buy the game, if you are a little bolder, directly -88%, the original price of 18 yuan of the game is now only 2 yuan......

Then he dares to imagine a cumulative total sales of 500,000 or even 1 million now!

Of course, this is impossible.

Originally, the pricing of "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator" was very low, the original price was less than 20 yuan, and if you directly discounted it by one or two discounts, it would be no different from giving it away for free.

Unless this kind of large discount sells hundreds of thousands of copies in one go, it has the effect of "small profits but quick turnover", it is of little significance to Tianba Studio.

5% off is this year's all-time low!

As for the lower price, that is, the new historical low price, it may not appear until next year, at least not in the next six months.

"Sold so much?"

Yang Dong also saw the data in the background, and his expression was a little surprised: "The sales gap between the five-fold discount and the original price is so exaggerated, this is almost twenty times the difference!" ”

"Discounts are like this......"

"There's no need to pay too much attention to this, our focus is still on "Simulator Under the Fence", which will be the bulk of the revenue in the next few months."

Chen Ba shook his head: "Every copy of the official version of "Sending People Under the Fence Simulator" priced at 25 yuan is sold, it is equivalent to three discounted copies of "Cold Window Bitter Reading Simulator". ”

The price difference is almost three times!

This also means that the simulator under the fence will sell thousands of copies casually, and the income created for Tianba Studio can crush the "five-fold promotion" of the cold window bitter reading simulator.

It's not hard to get a few thousand copies.

After all, with the fan base laid by the previous game, as well as better game graphics and better gameplay, it will definitely sell better than the previous game.

The sales volume should be around 30-400,000 copies, which is much higher than expected.

According to Chen Ba and Yang Dong's estimates, with the better quality of the completion of the simulator under the fence, the cumulative sales of the official version may exceed 100,000 copies within fifteen days of its release.

This is not inflated arrogance.

It's a reasonable guess they came up with based on a combination of game quality, player feedback, and market research.

The previous work had a good reputation, and it also accumulated a lot of potential players for "Simulator Under the Fence".

Once the official version is released, it will definitely convert a large number of fans of the previous work, which is the same as a famous author of an online article opening a new book, and a large number of old fans come to support it after hearing about it.

And this time, Chen Ba, who has a certain amount of financial resources, is also ready to spend money on promotion when "Simulator Under the Fence" is released.

The promotion effect is not easy to estimate.

But what is certain is that the release of a new game with promotion is definitely better than no promotion, and the start will certainly not be as difficult as the previous game.

……

Saturday, October 4th.

Tianba Studio released an announcement on the official version of the new game "Simulator under the Fence" on the official community, fan base and Weibo platforms.

At the same time, those players who were originally in the Early Access phase also received the "Official Update" push message.

Guo Mo, who has heard of this game for a long time and has been waiting for the official version to be released, is chatting with fans in the live broadcast room.

"When I first came, why did the anchor have a red face?"

After reading a barrage, Guo Mo in front of the camera said expressionlessly: "Understand, the little anchor can't afford to buy good equipment, this is a camera from the scrap yard." ”

"Hahaha!"

The new audience still thinks the anchor is quite pitiful, but the old viewers in the live broadcast room all laughed crazy when they heard this.

Guo Mo's red temperature camera, this is an old stalk in the live broadcast room.

Old viewers know that Guo Mo has a hard hand and a hard mouth, and no matter what game he plays, he can always play all kinds of cerebral hemorrhage operations.

And he loves to interact with the barrage, and it is already the norm in the live broadcast room to blush and have a thick neck, and only new viewers will believe his "camera is broken" rhetoric.

Just now he played a game of Apex, and after hitting the enemy with one shot, he lied that he was "a big cripple" and "a trace of blood", killing both of his teammates.

It's obviously my own fault, so I have to be tough with the barrage, and then it will be red and warm unexpectedly......

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to quarrel with you!"

"I can only say that anyone who understands the game knows how good the anchor is, and I don't blame you for not being able to understand the anchor's operation."

After throwing the pot to the barrage as always, Guo Mo quit the game, opened the steam platform, and glanced at the download list.

"It's okay, it's done."

"Apex garbage game, the ranked dogs don't play, let's play another game today."

While speaking, Guo Mo clicked on the "Simulator under the Fence" that had just been downloaded and installed.

"New game?"

"Don't! If you continue to shoot, doesn't it mean that you will get gold today? ”

"What's so fun about this game, why don't you keep playing Apex!"

"It's not going to be rice, is it?"

The barrage doesn't know much about "Simulator Under the Fence", and I don't understand why Guo Mo wants to play this game, and questions whether he accepted the game manufacturer's rice and deliberately promoted it live.

"Rice?"

When Guo Mo saw this barrage, his face, which had returned to normal, turned red again, and he laughed angrily: "Brother, what misunderstanding do you have about me?" My little fan is also worthy of rice? ”

The barrage is so hilarious.

As a Perak anchor, Guo Mo has a total of 32,000 fans, and there are only a few hundred active viewers in the live broadcast room.

He wanted to collect rice for promotion and blow up the old man's gold coins, but the question was whether he was worthy?

The reason why I played this game is mainly because he had played the previous work, and I heard from a friend that "Simulator Under the Fence" was okay, so he bought it to experience it.
