Another good sale deal insight for DCS modules?

[TheCabal]

Hello guys,

 

just asking if there is going to be a nice deal on the shop again.... me and a friend got a new powerful computer, was a spontanic decision while drinking some beers and it's quite a pain that we spotted the deals and well.... missed them, we were just 2 days too late............ :(

 

FC3, A-10C, Blackshark 2 (update)... pretty big sum..... :cry:

We are really sad and angry to have missed it.

There is a sale on DCS: P-51 right now. If you get that with another game, it ends up being quite cheap.

We generally try to do a sale on Steam every 3-4 months.

With all due respect... My journey with dcs started thanks to steam sale... But what is the point of having it on steam since we have dcs world and steam version is very outdated. So is it there just so people can get the cd key ?? Or you plan to work with steam on dcs world ?

i think ED's main pathways are selling modules through their own E-shop (with normal and sale price too)

I personally hope that ED never "steam powers" DCS world. I get that it is convenient for some people, but I don't like having to log into their service to play every game I own. Besides, ED already has a very good copy protection and distribution model (at least from my consumer perspective). I think the idea behind DCS on steam is just for marketing purposes. The more places you can find and buy it, the more likely it is to be bought. So basically the first statement of your post answered your question.\

 

edit: that was off topic, so some obligatory on topic: as long as you are patient, waiting for the next sale won't be too big of a deal since they happen relatively frequently. I think the sales are mostly for the people that were not really planning on buying a module in the first place. It certainly worked on me. Also, you don't have to buy them all at once. Get one module now, and get intimate with it, and a sale will come around before you are even bored with the first one.

Steam is great exposure for DCS.
