I’m on steam - just wondering if anyone has any idea when the next sale will be. For steam, the last sale was in late Mar during the 2 mil download celebration, and the one before that was for ISO during valentine’s day I think.
Thoughts?
We tend to keep our sales low in quantity and at somewhat unpredictable intervals. We don’t do sales for every holiday for example. Everyone can feel free to speculate on when our next one may be but it’ll be just that.
Well…there wasn’t one for Cinco De Mayo. Deadpool is saddened by this. He loves tacos. 
They tend to come and go a bit randomly and not always on all platforms.Sometimes only on Steam for example.
Again, deadpool loves tacos and wishes he had a sale so he could buy more tacos.
Arbor Day?
Sounds like they need to have a sale in the territories with the outrageous inflation in pricing.
They spoke about thier sale strategy in the venture beat article. They do sales at a time where everyone is flush with hp. Right now everyone is starting to run out if thier hp from the last sale so my guess is that we’ll have to wait for a bunch of people to buy non sale hp and then the sale will happen at whatever holiday occurs a few weeks after that.
My guess is that a sale will happen for 4th of July. Should be enough time for everyone to re-up on hp before then.
I figured Memorial Day or the 4th of July. They make the most sense from a sale point of view at least.
I thought the Steam sales coincide with when Steam is doing their twice yearly big sales events?
So when do the big yearly Steam sales take place?
Typically, Steam does two big sales per year, the Summer sale in July, and the Winter sale in December.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Lol
My Magic 8-Ball says “Unlikely”.
The next one occurs on the Latverian Day of Ulitmate Doom, but only for full Latverian citizens, and only in their striketile currency.
With all the new characters recently released, all 3*, we need a sale
If it’s true that Demiurge waits for people to be flush with HP before doing a sale, I’d just like to reveal that there will never ever be another sale again.
Ever.
Really.
Go ahead and buy now.
K?
Not the case. The actual quote from the referenced article was:
Design sale around instrumented excess currency: Keep an eye on how much currency is flowing around in your economy. If you detect that there is a glut, chances are the sale will simply convert players who were likely already inclined to buy.What this really means is that when you do a sale, players that buy are strangely more likely to be the ones that already are doing well for currency rebuying in order to build a stockpile. All this is really saying is that counterintuitively, our sales have been most effective at raising the cap of spending for already higher spending users rather than converting non-spenders to spenders or lower spenders to greater spenders. It shouldn’t be taken as “You should only run a sale when everyone already has money”. Just that when we do, we see higher returns than otherwise. If you note another one of the bullet points in the same article: > Players will buy: They work. Sales, regardless of size, seem to at least double our daily take.
It really comes down to a delicate balance of when to run sales so that they’re taken advantage of by the player population without allowing “sale fatigue” to set in where players have sales so often that the normal prices are seen as inflated instead of normal.
Curses, foiled again.
Normal prices are already seen as inflated. It boggles my mind how F2P games think they should charge more for their content than a fully packaged retail game.
These are the prices people are willing to pay. On the flip-side, I could say it boggles my mind how many F2P gamers think that someone else should work hard to provide entertainment for them for free.
But it will be based on location. If you’re not in Doomstadt forget about it.
