Lovely night, no?

From what I've read with video games (specifically articles about the humble bundle), the pay what you want model is less of a way to release a product and more of a way to promote it after it's died down. When you initially release a product, charge what it's worth. Then, after your initial sales, put it on sale for a lower amount to promote more sales. Finally, after going through the normal price/sale cycle for a bit, set it to PWYW to squeeze the last bit of money out of it. This maximizes your profit, exposure, and perceived quality of your product.
