MSM Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 As I understand it, steam does have a prepurchase mechanism. Is there any chance that ED modules that are being offered as prepurchase on the ED store might be offered on steam using that mechanism? It is a little frustrating seeing things like the hornet and the Persian gulf map being offered as pre purchase, which I assume offers some benefit to ED by way of revenue/market info, but not being able to commit to the pre purchase myself because I am on the steam platform. The popular ‘drop steam’ suggestion doesn’t really work for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) What usually happens (L-39C, SA-342M, M-2000C, AV-8B) on Steam is an early purchase/release discount for a couple of days after release (as Steam users don't have access to the pre-purchase discount in ED's store). IMHO it's very likely the same will happen for the Hornet, however none of the DLC maps have been discounted on release - so a 'release' discount on the Persian Gulf Map is unlikely. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/prepurchase Edited April 14, 2018 by Ramsay i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thanks Ramsay, Now I think about it, I did catch this for the av8b. Thanks for the reminder. Hope they consider giving the gulf map a brief initial discount to balance the lack of prepurchase on steam. I just thought ED might gain some benefit for themselves if they did support actual pre purchase on steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
