Abstract

This paper analyzes the role of price in the consumers’ pre-purchase expectations and post-consumption evaluations. The researchers observed, in the Steam platform, how promotional discounts can lead to fluctuations in user recommendations for discount products. Applying the change point analysis method for the observation of longitudinal data, the results indicate that temporary discounts can disrupt the stable process of word of mouth generation. There is a significant effect on the volume of reviews posted for a product shortly after the occurrence of a discount and also variations in review scores that can be either positive or negative.
