Yo. Attn: ASC: Payment options

[shadowborn]

Hi ASC.

You don't have a contact option on your website (nor, you know, the other things that are required in the EU, but that's besides the point).

Hence, the only way I can possibly send you a heads-up is this forum, as odd as that is.

I just wanted to let you know what I just pre-ordered the C130J. However, I did that in the ED store. I am kinda assuming that you get the same revenue no matter where stuff is bought, but on the other hand, there are loads of people claiming "support your local DCS developer (by buying on their website)". I don't know which one it is.

I would have happily bought on your site, but you seem to only offer Google Pay and various credit cards? Much like many, many people and primarily Europeans these days, I don't have a credit card; only a VISA Debit card, which very likely would not have worked. Also, I prefer some sort of abstraction/non-proliferation stragegy with credit card numbers, and as much as I generally despise Paypal, they are still my go-to method.

Please consider adding Paypal in the future, should you desire more sales on your own website.

Best regards.

Hi shadowborn, 

I can not answer your questions about ASC website, I am sure they will when they see your post. 

But to answer your question about if buying from the 3rd party developer or ED direct matters, it does not, ultimately ED are the ones that issue the key to the third party. 

I hope that helps answer at least part of your question. 

best regards

Funny enough, (and I don't speak for ASC, im merely a member in their community discord)

they had set up their paypal account to take orders, and the influx of money/orders on august 1st got them flagged and shut down by paypal.

after fighting their case with PP support, they couldn't get it opened again.

IDK if or when they'll offer paypal after that negative experience.. LOL!

Sadly, this is exactly what I meant by "as much as I despise Paypal". I had my own struggles with them and they deserve to go bankrupt and down in financial flames more than probably anyone else on the planet. Their support is beyond infuriating.

Yet, as matters stand, they are also the only one who is nearly universally accepted.
