Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I can say for certain, I've never had a game make me such a mouth breather before.
TL;DR A profoundly moving & thought-provoking piece of media. One of the most profound pieces of interactive media I've ever experienced, bar none. [spoiler]I streamed it for a group of terminally-online friends. I grew up on CS.16 media so this was whispered to me by a friend along those lines. The trailer tweaked me, so I coughed it up. I see a lot of people in the reviews section refunding. I understand why you did that, but I won't be, and I'll happily say why. I'm a cultural anthropologist in my way who deals with money, time, the time-value of money, and educating people on networking and relationship-building, not just online, but in "the meatspace" as it were. As an empathy exercise, this is an excellent piece of storytelling, in particular. I'd recommend anybody try this who's had issues with people online, got bullied out of groups, or similar. [/spoiler] Mr. Thomas Mackinnon, you've earned your $5.99. For my money and my time, you may keep it. I look forward to more thought-provoking pieces of interactive media from you in the future. I've watched movies for more money that said less & did less with their medium that yours did in my playtime.
Those "people" in the game still flame at each other for no reason even I hard carried them and won most of the rounds lol Anyway nice game, but really need little more content of the plot to make it better

It's okay. It's one of those art pieces that are games instead of the other way around.
