Price reduction workflow

[iamyourneighbour]

Hi was thinking it would be great if we can schedule specials / price reduction workflow on marketplace, like picking a list of items and have them on 50% discount from 4pm Thursday til 8am the next morning etc to run promos?

Careful .. or we end up like Steam. 

AAA's and release days do ok, no one shops the rest till there's a fire-sale.

AAA - Big titles & big publishers. People will always buy those, often in advance. Smaller titles and indie stuff are easier to push off and wait for a deep discount.

To look at it from another perspective, events in SL have really pared down the notable creators with many running multiple brands side by side. The bulk of those making things for SL don't get a fraction of the exposure. The exception is the SLM, it's a very level playing field. Stores being able to easily offer sweeping timed discounts makes marketplace 'events' more of a possibility with all of the external promotion that entails.

SLM= Second Life Marketplace?

We're gonna end up with games being priced so that their 50% discount is actually the real retail price.
