Cann0nF0dd3r Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Was 3.0 always intended to be paid? Had I known it wasn't going to be a free update I wouldnt have bought TEW in the winter sale.
Andrei Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 There are quite a lot of changes in 3.0 version. If you look at those, it's a lot of work. And, as we know, all good work deserves to be paid for. I'm looking forward for flying it.

Cann0nF0dd3r Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 I get that, and I agree but that's not the question I asked. Was it always intended to be sold basically as a new campaign?
spiddx Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Yes I think it was always meant to be paid content. First mention of it I have seen was here 12-18-2018 (the day it was announced here on the forums) https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3724610&postcount=13 It’s cheaper than any other campaign in DCS though.

Yes, it was supposed to be a paid one all along, although initially it was supposed to be discounted for those who had the original one. However, as it turned out this option was not possible due to various reasons, I decided to release it cheaper than other campaigns. Even though the development process took longer than for the original and it is much, much more advanced. I will, however, support the old version of course - the 3.0 is how I always wanted TEW to look like, but 3 years ago I didn't have enough resources and knowledge to make it so.

unbreakable Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 So it's possible to play old one too, right(I've bought it 2 years ago and didn't even launch it so far)? And where is version 2.0? You'd better give v3.0 another name or so... It wouldn't be so irritating) Windows 10/ I5-4690K/ Asus Z97-A/ Asus GTX 970/ 16 Gb DDR3 1600MHz/ 1920*1080 / TrackIR 5/ Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog/ Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
Cann0nF0dd3r Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 Dont get me wrong I'm not complaining, I fully support it I just didnt remember seeing anything stating that. When I read about 3.0 I jumped on the sale becuase I thought it was going to be an update and not a full new release. $8 isnt going to break the bank.

You'd better give v3.0 another name or so... It wouldn't be so irritating) I can't. For me it is just 3.0. Actually the old one was 2.0 (the first DLC) Before that was 1.0 which was the free version of the campaign I did with text-to-speech VOs. Yeah you can play the old one, although if you didn't start it and with new one around I don't see a point.. the new one is much better (though different too).

aleader Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 This is all well and good but leaving the old campaign up on Steam during the current sale is a dirty trick (or at least that's how most are going to see it). I have the old one (bought in summer sale) and haven't played it yet. I'd be mighty pi*sed if I bought it this week and then a new paid version shows up right after (at full price no doubt).

I mean, those are the kind of questions I don't want to answer." - Michael Bluth

Wasn’t aware it was still there till yesterday, I have asked ED to remove it as I also believe it wouldn’t be fair. It should be gone any moment now. A simple Miscommunication, not any plot to keep the old one on sale. For more information, please visit my website.
