Mybrainplay.com Announces Value-Priced Games for WindowsPosted on Thursday, September 09, 2004 @ 01:15:17 pm E.S.T
Mybrainplay.com is proud to announce the launch of their first round of
quality, value-priced games for Windows PCs, available immediately from
their website, http://www.mybrainplay.com.
Have you ever wondered why on-line games cost almost the same as retail
games? If there are no duplication, packaging or shipping costs then
why are publishers still charging nearly $20 dollars per game? Why are
none of these savings being passed on to the consumer?
"The truth is that on-line customers routinely pay a huge markup on the
games they buy," says Kyle Nau, founder of Mybrainplay.com. "Publishers
jack their price up so high for one reason only, because they can!
That's the big secret no one wants the customer to know, that the actual
cost to list a game on-line is about $3 dollars per sale."
So that little puzzle game you paid $19.95 for? According to
Mr. Nau, "That publisher walked away with about $16 in profit! Does
that sound like a fair deal to you?"
The Mybrainplay.com website launched on September 3, 2004 and finally
gamers have a real choice when it comes to how much they pay for
entertainment. Starting with 3 exclusive titles - "The Mighty Muddles",
"Ghost Manor" and "Marine Meanies" (coming Sept. 13) all games will be
available for only $4.95 each! That's less than 1/3 the price of most
competitors' products!
More information and free trial versions of all our games are available
at http://www.mybrainplay.com .
About Brainplay Entertainment
Mybrainplay.com was launched by Kyle Nau, a former artist for Rockstar
Games who became fed up with the state of the mainstream video game
industry. He explains, "I was surrounded by brilliant people being
forced to make the same games over and over, based solely on whatever
was popular the previous year."
As it ended up, the on-line games environment wasn't much better.
"Where the mainstream video game industry is stuck in a creative rut,
the on-line industry is stuck in an intellectual one. The gospel of
'price bloating' (that consumers prefer to pay more rather than less for
games) is a perfect example of that."
Mybrainplay.com was born with the mission to develop and publish a wide
variety of games and offer them at a value price that anyone can afford.
"The decision to go with a flat-rate $4.95 price on all games and accept
Paypal payments was an easy one. There are a lot of people out there
who don't have credit cards but want to buy games on-line, in those
cases price and convenience are the only barriers to getting the sale.
It also helped that I knew a lot of E-Bay junkies who always had a few
extra dollars floating in their Paypal accounts and nothing to spend it
on. Now they can come here." Posted By: Adam Paoli - 100 Reads
