Maybe it's just bad luck that the Steam release happened on the same day as the start of the Steam winter sale, but it's not great timing. I'm guessing that most people on Steam now are looking for discounted games, not a new game.

Still early days but Day 1 sales looked to have been abysmal, I know cricket games are a niche market and all but even compared to DBC 17 and Ashes Cricket this is a pretty poor showing. Considering Ashes Cricket is on sale on the steam store for £9.99, there's no reason to get this game.

Which review was yours? So far it's one not recommended and one recommended (more than just minor bugs in the game, game is far from finished as it stands)

It seems an odd strategy to have a more comprehensive game heavily discounted at the same time you release a more niche game at full price. Why not bundle the two? Buy Big Bash Boom and get Ashes free.
Exactly. Why someone will go for big bash if they have the option to buy Ashes Cricket for cheap. Which is in fact most full fledge cricket game

Yeah spot on mate, I suspect that they thought that there's enough to differentiate between the 2 games (Arcade /Sim) but really they may inadvertently cannibalise their own sales.

Marketing doesn't appear to be their strong suit to say the least... The game feels very rushed together the more I play it, the more things I notice wrong with the game, unless the patches so far have caused more issues (has happened with other games by Big Ant as they are patched)

Been a bit too long for me to get a refund on PS4, so I'll keep playing it here and there and see what future patches do, think there has been 4-5 since launch and not a great deal has changed.
