| Important news regarding GAME.exe | 2021-07-15 | Hi there people! I took the time to write this and clarify some things for you guys. 1- First, let’s talk about the price reduction I announced earlier this month. Sadly the reduction needs to be delayed, I contacted the Steam support and they responded: “We wouldn't want to change the price of your product right after release. It's pretty important to us that customers have a reasonable expectation when they buy a new game, that the price won't fluctuate right at release. If you still need to adjust the base price of the game, we'd recommend doing so after a month or more has passed since release. Check out our Pricing documentation for pric |
| Price reduction | 2021-07-04 | When I was developing GAME.exe, I played through it multiple times, it was pretty short, sure, but I thought that this was happening because I knew exactly what to do! I was expecting that players would have to search and think a bit more to complete the puzzles. As of now, the main feedback I am receiving is: "The game is good, but it is too short". But expanding the game would deviate from the original concept and I would need to refactor almost the entire code, so I've decided to lower the base price tag from $6.99 to $2.99 (not including discounts). The prices are going to update as soon as Steam approves it. If you thought the experience |
