Kuky Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Is DCS A10C to be released on fecking steam only ???

nomdeplume Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Ty for your insight, as well as your humor, my understanding is Steam or Disc..We know disc will be outdated, no word on weather updates are steam only, but i would assume so. That seems like a really bizarre conclusion to jump to... and you're being incredibly melodramatic. Have you been drinking or something??? :) Just because they're investigating the possibility of releasing the game on Steam doesn't mean they're suddenly going to drink the Valve cool-aid and make Steam a requirement. They already have their own payment and distribution infrastructure, which was recently updated (merging of the two sites). They have already licensed their own copy-protection system. I hardly think that the fact they've decided to do compatibility testing with the world's largest digital distribution platform is an indication that they've suddenly decided to completely change their sales model. Black Shark is available on Steam, and it's also available on the DCS site like it's always been, and so are its patches. If you don't want to use Steam, then don't.

mtuckner Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 nomdeplume, he needs attention tonight apparently. Folks, pretty sure IF they use steam it would be a side by side release. It will only provide a large influx of purchases due to increased accessibility and visibility. That means more cash for ED to make great things! :thumbup: 1
ED Team Wags Posted February 5, 2011 ED Team Posted February 5, 2011 We plan to release A-10C is a similar manner to how we did with Black Shark. Although the delay in the Steam release will not be as long. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/wagmatt Twitch: wagmatt System: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3729544#post3729544
Weaponz248 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 The big question is If you preordered thorough the DCS website and they do release it on steam and the DCS website. Can you get it off steam without buying it again.
Slammin Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 The big question is If you preordered thorough the DCS website and they do release it on steam and the DCS website. Can you get it off steam without buying it again. Do you think it would be fair for DCS to charge us twice? Do you really think DCS would do that? Especially, after your contribution, which not only includes the money you have already paid, but also any input you might contribute during the beta that could potentially make the released product even better?

Kuky Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 If you pre-purchased from ED wesite why would you be able to get it from Steam for free also? Wouldn't that be the same as buying the game in one store then asking from another store to give you a copy (or in this case download) for free because you bought it already?

Weaponz248 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 @slammin yes I think they would. Why, you ask, Kuky summed it up nicely. @Kuky I sort of like the steam interface but if I must buy it again than I dont like steam that much LOL
Slammin Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 You know, that actually is a good question in that I don't think DCS has any intention of charging you twice, so now I'm kind of wondering too, if there is any type of integration between the DCS distribution with Steam. My apologies to the OP of the question because I can read it two different ways, depending on which hand my beer is in.

Squid_DK Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Just out of curiosity..... I was wondering what happened to beta 5, considering the update thread by Matt is now titled beta 6 update...:smartass: Staffan http://www.ipms.dk i7 9700K, Asus Z390 Prime A, Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4, GeForce RTX 2080 Ti STRIX ROG, Fractal Design Define R6, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, MFG Crosswind, Oculus Rift S. 32 GB 3200 MHz RAM
mtuckner Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Beta 5 was used to label another version tested for Steam compatibility. So we get Beta 6 instead which is the same as what Beta 5 was going to be.

TwoLate Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Actually this was a good move for Wags. Steam as you know is a seperate company where you can download games or "SIMS for the elitist". Steam is a little different than the original, they add there files. So Wags putting out two same betas one for Steam he can test the multi compatibility. Plus it saves him bandwith on some of his product downloading from Steam. A lot of games are going this way. At least we have a choice where to buy the product. Of course if you bought the beta from DCS that is where you will go for patches. Steam patches should be for only Steam products. At least that is the way I think Steam works. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
