After many arguments - decided to start this poll. I'm actually going to buy Dungeon Hunter tonight so I can weigh our game in against it - price wise, content wise, etc...
If it is as truly as great as I expect it to be but also to compete in the appstore a 9.99 price would be right for me. Though naturally I would pay more edit; +10 prices would surely scare away quite a few customers away no matter what the content
actually I agree to make it 6.99 to compete an take away customers from DH then put it to full price after a while but in the end its your choice of what price your choosing
Aww man, why would anybody pick any price other than the lowest one. I mean, if you where going to be sold a new car and you could pay any price for it as long as it's no less than $20, wouldn't you pay only the $20.
right out the gate i would do a 48 hour 3.99 sale and then pump it up to 6.99 and let it sit for a while.
If your content is more than Dungeon Hunter, it should be priced above 6.99. I would pay over 9.99 for an elder scrolls type game on the ipod touch.
agreed...really brief sale-price for launch and then up it to a more 'apropriate' price range. I think you should consider the size of the game and overall hours/polish applied to determine price. The big spinners on the app store have no problem charging what they're worth.. ie Doom, Modern Combat, Gangstar etc... but no one really expects it to sell fast if its over $10US... (more for me...AU$)
I just played Dungeon Hunter. I am impressed with their overall polish, but thats to be expected with a big company. Our game is a whole different ball game, and to that effect, I don't think you can compare the two once you play them both. I don't see why we couldn't charge 9.99 or even 12.99 for our game. I want to remain competitive though... So lets let this poll ride and see where it goes.
It's hard to say without seeing the game firsthand. I think a lot of it depends on what the game delivers when released. I voted for $6.99, but if the content and polish are there, I'd be willing to pay even more. Congrats on getting a publisher though, that should definitely help getting a higher price point.
http://appshopper.com/bestsellers/grossing/?sort=price&dir=desc Top Grossing $9.99 Madden 10 $6.99 Cooking Mama, Sims 3, Real Racing, Gangstar, Modern Combat, Dungeon Hunter, Real Soccer 2010 $5.99 Dexter Think it will be hard to price higher than $6.99 and still make it onto this list.
to someone like you eagerly awaiting the game, yes. to joe public, probably not. besides, i said a two day sale. believe what you want, but this isn't going to make much of a push at 9.99+
LETS look at the prices in the top 100 0.00:NONE >.< 0.99:46 1.99:13 2.99:16 3.99:2 4.99:14 5.99:1 6.99:7 7.99:0 8.99:0 9.99:1 as of i dunno please don't get angry at me if i forgot some it should be accurate by 80%
I haven't played this game. But as an unknown developer with an unknown IP, no matter how good it is, I don't see how you can realistically go above $4.99. arn
you're looking at the wrong list. http://appshopper.com/bestsellers/grossing/?sort=price&dir=asc use that one. arn
