Chapter 30
The official appstore was different from other game distribution channels. Four hundred downloads in twenty-four hours may seem like nothing, but that number was actually pretty good.
Other promotional spaces for other game distribution channels, such as the Emperor Dynasty Entertainment platform or the proprietary stores of phone manufacturers, could be bought using money. As long as you were friendly with them, the platform wouldn’t care too much about artificially inflating your numbers, either.
Therefore, as long as you were willing to spend money, it wasn’t surprising to have thousands or even tens of thousands of downloads on the first day on other game distribution channels.
However, the official store prohibited inflating statistics, therefore new games could only be found in obscure corners, just like The Adventures of the Storm Rider. There wouldn’t be many who would download new games, even if they were on the top new games or among the promoted new games.
However, the official store automatically adjusted the promotional spaces. Games like The Adventures of the Storm Rider would probably be on the promoted list of new games or in its respective genre, which would greatly boost the downloads.
If the game maintained its high rating, the game would undoubtedly receive better recommendations, possibly even being recommended on the front page.
Lin Mao patted his chest in relief. “Now I can relax, the second recommendation was so important!”
Chen Mo reminded, “Don’t celebrate too early, you should continue monitoring the reviews. You might even be defamed by your competitors.”
Lin Mao nodded, “Yeah, I know. The gap between the second recommendation and the game properly going viral is still massive.”
After chatting for another few hours and looking at the new games at the time and checking out their numbers, the two of them went out for supper after the store closed, after which Lin Mao left.
After all, he had to pay great attention to the statistics and the feedback of players, as it was a key moment. Chen Mo, on the other hand, had to worry about his release, so the two of them didn’t have much time to spare.
