Steam sales grap showing Launch and Daily deal peak

Steam sales grap showing Launch and Daily deal peak

tips for indie devs, you can ask steam if your game is eligible for a daily deal (link below)

We did it for squeakross, timed our big content update with the daily deal and it did great!

the smaller peaks are seasonal/events sales

Are you ready for notepad to start taking more time to load just so they can bump up their "ai usage" stats?
