Hi guys,
I read a lot of articles on what to do to make a successful game.
One point which I do not understand is game relase day.
Some developers say: DO NOT RELEASE A GAME DURING WEEKEND
What do you think about this statement?
Tnx.

Well one reason I can think of is that if there is a problem on release day, that means you need people to work at the weekend to fix it 
It probably varies depending on the type of app you have. I saw a few reports a year or two ago saying that the weekend was the best time to release (or at least the best time to focus your app promotion) as that is when downloads/sales numbers tend to increase.
Thanks Alan!
+1 for Thursday.
For a large game I recommend staged roll outs.
I think the release date is overrated.
Games like angry birds didn’t get famous from night to day…it was a lot of marketing involved and months of hard work promoting the app.
if you depend on the release date to make your app successful, good luck on that.
