Steam store page is bad
on: October 17, 2017, 11:59:56 AM
So i think about it a lot and this is my little advice.
So steam page of this game is terrible.
What is bad.
1st it false advertise this game as f2p.
2nd buyer need to make to much decisions
So this is intresti psychological theory that with each aditional decision quality quality of this decisions will drop. And now lets travel into the head of new buyer.
1st decision should i try this f2p game oh no it is not a f2p
2nd should i try this b2p game
3nd should i buy it
4th should i buy founder or just 1st compaign
now lets trave further in time when aditional comaigns is released
5th wich one should i pick
6th should i pick just nex compaign or i will buy all of them now
7th maybe then founder
etc etc etc
TO many decisions it is simple psychology nothing more. What i think steam store page should look like

Make Alent myth compaign standart option to buy a game.
Fuonder is like deluxe version.
And transform free version into demo version.

Hello.
Thanks for your advice. We are not "falsely advertising" the game as F2P on Steam. That's the way Steam indexes the game due to the free Prologue.

You probably didnt understand me.
i dont want say that YOU fals advertise game as f2p. But It is looks like f2p.
As i said you need to change it amnd made prologue a DEMO and put normal price tag,
This is imortant from psyhological point of view a lot of people see this game as a F2P some even belive that it is f2p. Basicaly F2P tag creates unnecessary connections between rotbp and f2p ganre in minds of players.

I agree that things should be simplified a bit. If I didn't love the characters and art direction so much i'd probably have given up trying to work it all out. It's a puzzle just working out how to buy the game at all as there's no mention of the founders pack in the game itself. I didn't realize there was one until I saw it being mentioned on this board. And even then I had to manually search for it on the store.

Ok here is an example of lang Barrier. I meant that i dont think that devs PURPOSELY false advertise this game as F2P. I wanted to say that steam store page looks like as page of a F2P game.
I knew t least 2 people who thought that raiders is a f2p game.

Due to a chunk of the game (Prologue) being free that perception is not going to change easily.

No harm done! I am not a native English speaker myself.
You will be seeing changes in our Steam page in the next few weeks. As I commented, the game's business model is currently not effectively showcased on Steam (on consoles it's being less of a problem) Hopefully, those changes will help new users to better understand how the game works.

I'm really glad to hear that.
