Developer runs limited-time sale for their game after a fan makes ambitious request Adobe StockAmerican video game publishers Devolver Digital conceded to one ambitious fan\u2019s demand, after they expressed an acute interest in purchasing one of their titles. A fan reached out to Devolver in an email on January 6, where they asked the company to place their first-person shooter title, \u2018Shadow Warrior 2,\u2019 on sale. \u201cI want to buy and play \u2018Shadow Warrior 2,\u2019 so please put it on sale right away,\u201d the fan wrote. \u201cThank you. All the best, potential future purchaser.\u201d Devolver Digital wasted no time conceding to the fan\u2019s request \u2013 albeit with a challenging twist. \u201cSure thing, boss,\u201d the studio replied. \u201cYou\u2019ve got one hour.\u201d The company placed a 75% off sale on the title for one hour, slashing its original price of $39.99 to a mere 10 dollars. \u201cCUSTOMER SERVICE,\u201d Devolver said of their sale, posting the fan interaction in a Tweet shortly thereafter. Other Twitter users confirmed the sale\u2019s legitimacy, posting screenshots of the game\u2019s price in the Steam store in awe of Devlolver\u2019s ploy. Well I’ll be damned. You mad lads actually did it. pic.twitter.com\/JqH9WgvgjU \u2014 RePeteR (@petegoast) January 6, 2019 Devolver Digital is based in Austin, Texas, and is known for producing the critically acclaimed \u2018Hotline Miami\u2019 video game series, as well as the \u2018Serious Sam\u2019 games.
