SparxOne Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Hello Bignewy/Nineline, Just to be sure, will the Eagle also become available for pre-order on steam (with the 30% discount) at some point ? Thank you

Expand the above is incorrect The developer chose not to offer the 30% pre-order on Steam due the small margins from the Steam fees + the discount. The F-15E will of course be on Steam in the future at 20% off when released. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

gzj3401 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 This is a bad start, if other third-party developers also do not pre-order on Steam in the future, DCS will undoubtedly lose many Steam users, and it is unfair to the existing virtual pilots who are used to start the game on Steam. I would like to point out that the payment system of the ED e-shop is not easy to use in some countries, which is why people there prefer to use Steam. Don't forget them. 2

Keeping the customer informed as to plans is part of good relations. You know full well that Steam customers were eagerly anticipating making their pre-orders today. But between RB and ED not one person thought to mention to that base of customers that they would not be able to pre-orders? Poor performance on someone's part. 7 Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

What would knowing it a week ago or whenever it was decided have helped? Expand Then people on steam wouldn't flood this forum, reddit, discord and Facebook asking why they can't pre-order... Are ED seriously saying lack of proper information doesn't matter? The F15 Pre order was pushed back twice with this month with corresponding info from RAZBAM and ED. Adding info that it would not be able pre-order on steam would be an appropriate piece of information to be released during one of these two postponements.
