Independent game maker Xiao Xiao routinely boarded the Steam Platform after get off work, hoping to see the profits. After the initial wave of sales, his game sales had stalled for a while, probably selling one or two copies a day.

In May, the contact person from the steam platform contacted Xiao Xiao and said that there might be a price reduction and discount activity recently, and asked Xiao Xiao about his wishes.

When signing an agency contract, the steam platform gives two options for discounts.

The first is to give it to the steam platform agent completely, but the platform guarantees the creator's income, so the discount will not exceed the platform's share at most. In other words, the game is 20% off, and the platform obtained is not allowed to be given to the creator, but the game can only be given to the creator at most.

The second type is that the creator's income will also be reduced simultaneously, and the platform's share will be paid in proportion. That is, if the 50% discount is given, the creator and the platform's income will be reduced by half. However, the discount limit of the game itself can be very low. Of course, if this model is to be discounted, the steam platform must contact the creators in advance.

Although Xiao Xiao's game didn't cost much, he still chose the safer second one.

Finally, based on the sales situation, he decided to give his game a 50% discount. Today is the first day of the discount.

Click on the steam platform, and the words "green summer special offer" entered Xiao Xiao's eyes. In this hot summer, it makes people feel very comfortable.

After taking a casual look at the discounted item, Xiao Xiao widened his eyes, wondering if he had opened it in the wrong way.

He originally thought that this kind of discount was the same as the discounts in the city. It was usually products that were about to expire, that is, old games, and games that no one bought would be discounted, but he didn't expect that the first thing he saw was "Champion Football 11".

This game is a football game sold at the end of last year. It is a masterpiece every year and sells over 10 million on the console platform. It is a veritable masterpiece.

On the steam platform, "Champion Football 11" with an original price of 35o yuan was actually 60% off, and you can buy it for only 21o yuan.

"Although I bought it on SN4, it seems that the special effects on the computer are a little higher?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao added him to the shopping cart.

Just after ordering one, he saw the discount even more exaggerated.

Zhongyuan Game's Rpg masterpiece "Martial Arts 3", the original price is 28o yuan, and it is 20% off. It can be bought for only 56 yuan. This game is the sequel to the classic Rpg game "Martial Arts 2". It was sold at the beginning of last year and was well received in the Rpg field. It is also a work with sales of tens of millions on the console.

"Damn it, fifty-six yuan, this is not like picking up for free, I bought it, bought it, bought it."

Xiao Xiao added it to the shopping cart again.

Just after reading it, he found another good thing.

This is a collection of game manufacturers. This company has produced many pretty horizontal action and platform jump games. There are a total of six games in this collection package, with the original price of 638 yuan, and only 223 yuan after discount.

"It's so cheap, I won't be a human being if I don't buy it."

All kinds of games that Xiao Xiao wanted to find were being discounted, and most of the discounts were very attractive. Originally, if these games were placed in front of Xiao Xiao, he probably wouldn't have considered them, but now the discounts are so strong that he can't help but have the idea of ​​buying them back and playing.

Such a cheap price, wouldn’t it be a loss if you miss it!

After Xiao Xiao finished buying and buying, he sent a text message one by one on his mobile phone. At this time, he hurriedly checked the balance. Now, in just over half an hour of shopping and discount, he bought almost a thousand games.

"I'll go, I can't stop buying this."

Xiao Xiao suddenly had the idea of ​​buying it. If he continued to buy it like this, he would probably be poor and gluttonous.

He had never understood why girls like online shopping so much, and many of the things they bought were not used at all. Now Xiao Xiao understood that the key point was not what they bought, but that buying this behavior allowed him to get the pleasure of "own".

In order to prevent him from continuing to buy games, Xiao Xiao opened QQ and wanted to see the reactions in the group.

Fried rice with stuffed rice: It’s amazing, the four strategies of the Contradictory Game are only sold for 300 yuan. What’s the difference between this and free? Buy and buy.

Braised Corn: I thought it was just a discount, but I didn’t expect that so many games were discounted. Alas, I bought so many games, and I don’t know if I have time to play it.

White Windmill: Why do I still have to spend time playing the game I bought with my skills?

Desert Coastline: Think about it, a 100-year-old game is 60% off. If you buy one, you will lose 40 yuan on the steam platform. If you buy two, you will lose 80 yuan. The more you buy, the more you will lose, the more you will lose. You make money, and Xu Rui will lose to the point of eating instant noodles.

Fatty Happy Meal: It’s too real. To be honest, I don’t make enough money to sell games on steam.

The puddle under the umbrella: I remembered after I bought it. I don’t have that much time to play at all. Every day when I go home, I want to lie down and suck fish. Why can’t I control this?

Seeing that everyone in the group seemed to be unable to help but buy it. Xiao Xiao suddenly had the idea that he hadn't bought enough, so he went to the store to stroll.

Afterwards, he picked up and downloaded several games he was interested in before he remembered that he wanted to see the profits.

Clicking on the backstage, Xiao Xiao widened his eyes again, wondering if the way he opened it was wrong again.

The game, which originally could only sell one or two copies a day, had already sold 100 copies on the first day of the summer special offer.

You know, all Xiao Xiao’s games have not sold a total of 1,000 copies.

"The data is wrong?"

Xiao Xiao immediately searched for the most popular games he sold, and then he found that the game was included in a game collection called Independent Game Charity Package. The collection was discounted for only more than 100 yuan, including more than 20 independent games. The Steam Platform promised that the platform share income of this game collection would be donated to all the poor children in the mountainous areas of the central and western regions, so the sales volume was very high.

In addition, if the player already owns part of the game in this collection, the price of the collection will be reduced to the corresponding part, making it even cheaper.

After all, for more than 20 games, an average of only five or six yuan per game is worth more than this price. A breakfast is also worth charity, so players are certainly willing to pay.

It can be said that Xiao Xiao got this charity package.

Although the share is calculated, his income of only two or three hundred games may be only two or three hundred, but from another perspective, his game has been bought by 100 new players. Even though most players may not necessarily play Xiao Xiao's games, as long as one or two people download and play with curious attitude, it will be a success for Xiao Xiao.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao suddenly felt better.
