Fri13 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I feel cheated by the latest sale. F-16C now for -50% price? Really? You want people to pre-order with a -20% off, knowing that once the pre-order phase is over, the module is not suppose to get a special sale before it is released, and even then when it gets released as feature complete not to be in first year as -50% but more like -20% or -33% kind sale. And now it is in -50% in Early Access phase! How about the helicopter pack that people just purchased in the last sale, all four helicopters in price of one, only a 69,99! That was just a couple weeks ago! And now? Only 34,99 for that same bundle price! I feel shamed that some people went to buy that special 4-for-1 bundle offer, when it is now then that -50% off too! I was considering to buy a possible future customer for you as gift that helicopter bundle, but I wasn't so sure, but now I feel shamed that those who purchased it got somewhat cheated. I have previously given criticism about the sale periods and amounts, as I believe that it is not nice for people wait that they would get a sale and then it is put so often to high special sales that must somewhat hurt the normal price sales! Like what is the purpose of the "milage" when you can just shave off now so easily and often -50% of the full price? And someone shouldn't try to put it on me personally, as I have all the modules that I am interested and I have received my fun multiple times over for the price. But I feel shamed that Pre-Orderers and Early Access testers should gain a some kind a "honorable status" from their willingness to invest in early development phase and be part of the community to help others, find bugs etc. I always feel bad for people who have just purchased something and then on next day or two it goes for a sale, especially when the company has well known about the upcoming sale. I don't care is it a car tires, vacuum cleaners, a pack of ice cream, but it wakes up in people that they feel cheated. And I say to as well people who want to get lower price but wait to feature complete module, that buy it in the Pre-Order phase and just don't install it, you get best of the both worlds then! But now not even that can be done because the Pre-Order sale doesn't mean it is the lowest price before the module gets released as feature complete! i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

This whining just proves you can't please all the people all of the time. :doh: This happens everyday in every other aspect of commercial sales. You can buy something at full price if you want it right now or you can wait until it goes on sale. How long that wait is is the gamble. Companies specifically don't advertise sales a long time in advance because then no one would buy anything until then. If Intel or Nvidia said their new super chip would be on sale at 70% off in 6 months, who would buy it now at full price? Of course most would wait until the sale happened. Companies can't run that way. You pays your money and you takes your chances. Welcome to the real world, snowflake.

ZQuickSilverZ Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Although a sale would be nice for someone new to DCS. But for those of us that have been flying for a while, I still have a lot to keep me busy just with the modules and campaigns I already have that I have not finished mastering. And that is just concentrating on the Viggen and F-14. I have not even taken out the other older modules for a spin in a while.This is me to. I have so many airframes I have less than 1 hour flight time on it is not even funny. I am not buying anything new for a long time, cept the Hind...... don't you judge me. :) I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons. "I've seen steering wheels / arcade sticks / flight sticks for over a hundred dollars; why be surprised at a 150 dollar item that includes the complexities of this controller?!

Boosterdog Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Pre-Orderers and Early Access testers should gain a some kind a "honorable status" from their willingness to invest in early development phase and be part of the community to help others, find bugs etc. I buy modules as i feel that i want them. I buy EA cos i want new toys NOW. I dont buy them to do some form of charitable service for ED or the community. I suspect that i am not alone in this. I also susoect that being a EA saint is not a monivating factor for anyone if they are honest/ I congratulate ED on bringing their latest products to the sale and the try before you buy. I own the F18, PG and F16 already and paid whatever i paid when i wanted them. All are cheaper now and i couldnt give a rats arse someone is getting them for less than me. Good luck to them. Im more concerned my wife no longer has any job security come friday and that my father in law is going to have to recover from cancer isolated from his loved ones. I guess its all about perspective.

I think it's safe you say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime event for ED, not to be compared to any other sale or free trial period. It's what's called an EXCEPTIONAL EXCEPTION (<-- I came up with that all on my own!). So just chilax and enjoy it. Because no one saw COVID-19 having this kind of impact on our lives when we spent money on modules in the past.

CobaltUK Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) It could be said that we were robbed/conned. Take your pic. The honourable thing would be to partial refund or at least give Miles. Free trials are one thing but such an early major discount is wrong without compensation to those that actually supported the new module.

Free trials are one thing but such an early major discount is wrong without compensation to those that actually supported the new module. I don't think that we need any compensation. Just that in the future that it would be more honorable for those who pre-order and participate for the development, instead those who then buy for full price and receive a readily developed module. And I don't take it wrong to have some special sales (like this international epidemic thing) as long its sales are not something ultra special that are better than even those who pre-purchased or who purchased something on last sale. It is completely right to offer those free weeks, free limited access etc, as that is what I have been talking years ago and people hated the idea so much about it. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Also, I'd say this is probably one thing that, so to speak, slipped through the net at ED due to the tricky circumstances of this - lets face it - rather spontaneous sale happening.

LuckyFromArma Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm still waiting for a free weekend or week or 14 days for all helicopters. Fixed wings are a dime a dozen, but I've never seen a free trial for helicopters. Maybe this will bring it about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
