2. I have decided to sell my game at the price of £2.99. I have estimated that I will be able to sell about 1,400,000 copies of the game during
its life span. I have looked at games, such as Stick Fighter: The Game and the amount of copies that were sold to get a rough estimate on
what I can expect for my game. I have considered added this game to other consoles such as PC to get more out of my game. However,
this will only happen when the games income starts to decrease. I have decided to add my game to the Apple App store and Google play
which will come up to a £124 fee per year. 30% of the profit made from the game will go back to the app stores. So in total I will be
making £1531100
