What are social shopping groups? Well, I think that most of you have heard about groupon, but let’s talk about that site anyway. Groupon offers you a lot range of cheap deals for a lot of cities and countries, the condition to get those really cheap deals is to have at least #number# of people who is interested in the deal and that subscribe (paying) to it. In case that the condition is passed, you’ll receive via email the voucher code for that deal.

Getter (http://getter.g-forums.net/) uses a similiar method, based on the number of people who subscribe to the deal, but the game price is based on the number of people who subscribed to the deal… So the more people gets in, the less you will pay AT THE END of the deal. On other hands, if only a few people subscribe to the deal, you will pay almost a retail price…

They started their project with Sequence, an indie music game, and the deal will end in 12 days. The current price is setted to 3$ (instead of 5$) and it may be lowered to 2$ in the following days. It all depends on you guys, so… go support this nice initiative and get a fantastic game for a cheap price :)

http://getter.g-forums.net/

I would like to remember you guys that you’ll have to pay AFTER the deal is ENDED and the price will the same for everyone, so don’t worry to join now….

News thanks to f3d3r1c0mb4t

From now on thanks to CDKeyPrices.com you can search for your favorite game or software and compare their prices directly on our website. Just use the search box on the right!

Thanks for reading! Have fun playing games or whatever you’re doing today.

“The sale is a highly promoted event that has ancillary media like comic books and movies associated with it. We do a 75 percent price reduction, our Counter-Strike experience tells us that our gross revenue would remain constant. Instead what we saw was our gross revenue increased by a factor of 40. Not 40 percent, but a factor of 40. Which is completely not predicted by our previous experience with silent price variation.“

This experiment was successfully repeated with a third party game, and the result is the non-stop flow of heavy discounts you’ll now see on Steam. It’s no coincidence that the already massively discounted GTA games, being priced at 75% for all of them ever is the number one best selling title on Steam.

Difference between saying something is “free” or “free to play”

Now a little more about discovery of the difference between saying something is “free” and saying it’s “free to play”. Newell’s explanation is not entirely clear, but it seems that the latter implies some greater level of content and long-term support for players. He says:

“The most recent thing that also is really puzzling is that we made products available for free on numerous occasions, without significantly impacting the audience size. We recently said, we’re now going to do something different, we’re not only going to signal that it’s free but we’re going to say, ‘it’s free to play,’ which is not really a pricing signal, even though that’s what you would ordinarily think it is. And our user base for our first product that we made free to play, Team Fortress 2, increased by a factor of five. That doesn’t make sense if you’re trying to think of it purely as a pricing phenomenon.

Why is free and free to play so different? Well then you have to start thinking about how value creation actually occurs, and what it is that people are valuing, and what the statement that something is free to play implies about the future value of the experience that they’re going to have.”

And being free to play, rather than simply free, seems to bring with it profit. Newell reports that since TF2 has become free to play, they’re seeing a conversion rate of players of 20 to 30 percent, going from getting the product free, to spending money on hats, etc. Why? No one yet knows. Gabe continues:

“We don’t understand what’s going on. All we know is we’re going to keep running these experiments to try and understand better what it is that our customers are telling us. And there are clearly things that we don’t understand because a simple analysis of these statistics implies very contradictory yet reproducible results. So clearly there are things that we don’t understand, and we’re trying to develop theories for them.”

Make sure to read the rest of Geek Wire’s transcription, which also includes thoughts on piracy, and Valve’s impressive success in Russia.

Lets expand the idea a little and say why not release games around the world in two versions, one cheaper (restricted to one language only and even one area only where you can’t play it in other country) and one in full price but without any limitations?

What do you guys think about that? Do you have forced localized games too? I didn’t notice that in Poland (well maybe MAFIA 2…) but I guess if Steam would force me to use Polish version only of most games I would be pissed. Especially while playing multiplayer games.

Oh hai btw, Dead Island fucking rocks. I’m back.

The website contains several features:

• site is updating every hour
• it’s easy to see how many deals there actually are
• one game has price tags in one row, so it is easy to select the cheapest one (and sometimes there are quite big differences)
• search and filter is very fast because it is all done by javascript

So there you have it, if you like the website go visit it, bookmark it or whatever, if you don’t like the website… then don’t.

Thank you for your time *back to watching E3*.

Impulse offered me today Dungeons and the price was only 29.35€. I thought, what the hell? What happened? And rushed to see the forums and Steam to check out, did they really drop the price. But unfortunately no, the price is still unfair.

So. Looks like I am lucky, who can buy stuff from Impulse with US price: “Prices based upon exchange rates as of 2/3/2011 and 9:00PM EST. Your order will be charged in US Dollars. Your order will be charged in US Dollars. Due to currency changes the prices may not reflect the exact exchange rate at the time of transaction”

If you are lucky, you might get it also! Or you can of course wait for discount sales, holiday sales or simply get it in easier way if you know what I mean.
