Why do many games choose to be on shelves in Thursday?

This gossip does not know that you have not noticed, Baidu search game "+ shelves", you will be surprised to find that most of the game to choose the time of the shelves is Thursday. Whether this is a coincidence or a latent rule that the publishers are interested in, I don't know. After querying a series of information and chatting with some of the gamers, I summed up a seemingly rather than an answer, perhaps to help you find out. In particular, there are three possible causes: one, the greater likelihood of being recommended by Apple as the most cost-effective and effective way to promote the App Store is, of course, the official recommendation, which is decided by Apple's evaluation team. In the App Store home page There is a region called Editor ' Choice (editorial recommendation), where the location is limited, but it is of great value. Once you have the privilege of being edited and selected, this area is a great help for the success of the game. And this area is updated every Thursday. Second, there is sufficient time to deal with the unexpected situation, whether it is the game's official website or the game client, from the week's data changes, are starting from Monday onwards, rose to Saturday as the culmination, then Sunday began to decline, to Monday as the low point. So the Thursday online can take advantage of this natural trend to attract more users. Second, if there are any problems need debugging, whether it is login, billing, account system, there is a Friday can be resolved, or the weekend to die of overtime to understand. Thirdly, we all know that the game world is accompanied by the birth of a global home machine and gradually prosper, home machine deeply affects everyone who is in the game, whether it is a game developer, or a game player. The game software launch day is generally scheduled in Thursday, perhaps because of a habit and tradition we continue to become a cultural heritage. Players from FC generation should know that the mainstream of the game on sale day was Friday. When the FC was originally sold, it did not actually decide on a specific week for sale. In the end it is because companies are cooperating with each other, and it is gradually customary to set the date for sale in Friday. Indeed, the Friday game, the weekend to play games, this is a more reasonable arrangement. And with the carrier from the cassette to CD-ROM, from the order to delivery does not lag "status quo, the game release day also slowly from Friday into Thursday. Because even if there is a shortage on the day of sale, players can order immediately, and in the week can arrive. For game manufacturers, this can be a good grasp of production and circulation, this habit has been preserved.
