A honest request of a Steam User

[wedge_one]

The F/A-18C is currently in pre-purchase with a 25% discount bonus until it's released in Early Access.

 

So, as a DCS Steam user, I would like do to a very honest request: when you release the F/A-18C on Steam, do with a launch discount for 24hs of similar value. That would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Why use steam? You can just move your modules to standalone.

I moved to standalone just to be able to prepurchase this module. Moved my other modules over easily enough with no extra cost. The whole procedure was painless, and I highly recommend it.

Please note that this DLC uses Steam Keys instead of Starforce keys. As such, this purchase cannot be activated on the DCS World e-Shop version.

 

Some newest modules purchased on Steam can't be activated on the Standalone version anymore. Plus, I don't want to discuss this matter any further to not deviate from my original post. It's a matter of preference and convenience.

When the Harrier launched on Steam a while back it had the same discount you got for pre-ordering it on the ED store for a limited time, they'll probably do the same for the Hornet.

This will likely not happen because if you didn't know, Steam takes a cut of the profits on the store page. While the exact amount is not readily known, some informational websites have stated it can be upwards of 30% of the sale price.

 

If this is the rate Steam is charging ED then selling this module at the 25% ($59.99) rate will only net about $41.99 USD after the Steam Royalties. [($79.99 - 25%) - 30%]

No he probably can't. All modules after & including M2000 can't be activated on standalone - as is already stated everywhere. Please don't spread false information.

 

In light of this, suggesting somebody 'just switch to standalone' is quite silly. ED is selling on Steam, telling people, that are locked into Steam already, not to buy there, is nonsensical.

That used to be the case but that went away. I **think** you still can with pre-M2000 modules.

I fell into the Temper trap of purchasing the M-2000 on Steam then switching to Standalone for the reason of the more frequent sales and updates.

 

I heard of rumors of past modules like the M-2000 being recognized and allowed credit in the standalone if purchased on steam. I really hope they iron this out soon. not worth buying the modules twice. Good luck with anything on steam.

Not everyone has international credit cards to buy modules thru the E-shop on DCS World website. There was also the currency price on Steam, which isn't a thing anymore. :)
