What does the new month prepare for us?
Hello, friends!
Today, I would like to talk about the past month and evaluate the upcoming month - to take a fleeting glance at the releases that await us in the coming 30 days.
The main events of March for our store were:
It is believed that the ME line is, strangely enough, a non-liquid asset for digital stores. This is due to two factors: the high "price tag" and the enormous percentage of users who download each installment of the game from torrents. It seemed that neither the mandatory multiplayer for acquaintance nor the factor of a growing market would help (the ME2 release coincided with a time when CD stores had significantly fewer resources).
Fortunately, everything turned out for the best. The game did not flop, users were responsible, and we have no time to learn the difference between red and blue beams :)
P.S. Thanks to the excellent contest and its lively discussion, charming Shepazavrs (and following them, Seguzavrs) came to light.
One of the most ambiguous events not just of the month, but of the year. On one hand, everyone was ready for the "Blizzards" to announce the release date and price between March 12 and 18. However, few anticipated that the game would turn into a double release for both EU and RU versions. Nevertheless, there’s no harm without Bobby Kotick - the promotion for Gamer.ru users continues.
Bethesda Catalog Promotion (50% off)
We prepared this promotion for a long time and understood perfectly that no one had done such a promo in our (Russian) segment of the market yet. However, the excitement that arose was even higher than expected. It turned out that a significant portion of the audience was using pirated versions of Bethesda games but was quite ready to legalize if the price was 200 wooden.
Now we know for sure that Russia is a country of victorious fusrudies 0_o
April, as cliché as it sounds, began with a wonderful holiday.
Start of Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto V.
The price of our edition was somewhat unusual for PC gamers – 5,555 rubles. Clearly, the overwhelming majority of users appreciated the joke.
Those who dared to spend such a serious amount will receive a digital key for [GTA V](/games?search=GTA V) on the release day, a collector's edition of the game, and 5 any games every month up to the release.
[Guild Wars 2](/games?search=Guild Wars 2) – pre-order launch
This time, no jokes. The most anticipated MMO of spring will appear in our store on April 10. Among the digital bonuses are access to all stages of the beta test, in-game bonuses, and an early start.
Stay tuned for announcements - it will be fun.
Risen 2: Dark Waters – release on April 27
One of the most stylish RPGs of the year, a delight for those tired of modern scrolling shooters pretending to be heirs of classic role-playing games. We are looking forward to it. You bring us lots of materials, and we'll provide an interesting contest :)
Furthermore, do not miss:
Wargame: Europe in Flames – an excellent wargame.
Blades of Time – a beautiful and dynamic slasher.
