Wolf Rider Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Dear DCS/ ED... Dunno who it is "getting in the ear" regarding the latest sale/ bundle" deal (22/ 1/ 16) - but you're going down the wrong road there just an honest comment from an interested party who works in the entertainment/ advertising industry, whom also understands the "hype" - its the wrong road... almost makes it out to be Begging.

docbrick Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Dear DCS/ ED...

I see nothing wrong with this approach (I work in digital marketing in the United States.) I just recently got into DCS and these sales offer me (and others) a good value as I try to expand my amount of flyable content. I would imagine that 1.5 and 2.0 will bring any many more new people and sales of this nature will keep content revenue incoming. There is nothing desperate about it.

apolloace Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 ED is absolutely right in offering these kind of deals. It gives everybody flexibility to own modules, according to their own interest & choice. Though on a personal level, I would prefer standalone deals for individual modules & addons. :noexpression: Rig - I7-9700K/GIGABYTE Z390D/RTX-2080 SUPER/32-GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE RAM/1-TB SSD Mods - A10C / F18C / AV8B / Mig21 / Su33 / SC / F14B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRISXTR3M3 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 You must not have been around when there were 70% off sales almost every month. Now *that* was more like begging. Thats a negative ghostrider. That wasn't begging, that was a chance to allow users to purchase modules. You have to remember the campaign DLCs are a fairly new thing. Most of us already have the base modules so to us a DLC campaign bundled with the module we already own is kind of a waste of effort. But I can see how it helps others. In my personal opinion I nay the su-27 & campaign bundle due to the fact that fc3 is already a bundle it itself and contains the 27 plus more aircraft. :doh: The hog + campaign I give a Yay to for those who have yet to purchase the thing, although there's some of us who have had the hog for a long time as well so that bundle doesn't do much to entice us. Same goes for the Ka50 + campaign. :doh: Now if they would do a DLC bundle...that would entice those of us who have been loyal to purchasing the modules when it was just that. And I'm sure they'd obtain a good number of sales from opening up the market with that option to us that have bought the modules way before they even came up with campaigns. This idea I would support:thumbup: User Files for AV8-B, X55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted January 22, 2016 ED Team Share Posted January 22, 2016 Well they have these bundle sales often enough, sooner or later you will find one you like, chances are each of these will have a group of people that wont be interested in them, either because they already own them, or they arent interested in the content... just the way its gonna work. All you can do is wait for a sale that appeals to you, either a bundle deal or a standard sale.

DrDetroit Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The only sh*tty thing about it is that I always seem to purchase modules the day before they go on sale - always and exclusively! Oh well, it still very worth it. Good day, DrDetroit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faelwolf Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 IIRC they had a campaign sale recently, and will likely have one again, I think the module + bundle sale is a good one for those who may be wanting to get started, and it never hurts to expand the player base! It will come around for us veteran players. As someone on a fixed income, I keep a close eye on the sales, and appreciate ED giving us a break now and then.

98abaile Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I was just chatting with someone who decided to buy the A-10C/KA50 bundle because it was a good deal. If I didn't already have them, I'd be buying this bundle too. 2 modules and 2 campaigns for the price of a single module is a great deal and means that ED can still pull in sales for modules that have already been out for years. Good strat IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I would NOT buy any planes from DCS/3 developers at all... Let me explain why... First I bought the Saber, ohhh my...... what a disapointment that was ! I cant belive I had to load it up with weapons my self !!! But it was nowhere as bad as the F-15, wich came without fuel ! Last I bought the Mirage, well I bloddy cant fly it, cause I cant a word of frence, and all knops are in French.... So I gues it will be parked with all the old rusty Russian planes.... No do as I, look at AI driven planes, its free, relaxing and you cant chrash.... Btw. it saves you a ton of money, in screens, maskes, helmets, joysticks ect...

NeilWillis Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks for that input Fab, anyone not wanting to get DCS World will find it very useful. The rest - well we know how to downlaod and install the English cockpit in the M-2000C, we like the Sabre a lot, and can refuel the F-15C both on the ground, and air to air. You have an interesting point of view, but somehow I think you're wasting your pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
