F/A-18C on Steam

Q: Will the Hornet also be available on Steam?

A: Certainly, but it is to be determined if it will be released as a Steam Early Access due the reception of earlier DCS World Early Access releases.

Will the Early Access be at the same time aviable on Steam as in the DCS-Shop?

Sorry for my bad english:(

No, Steam is always delayed a bit.

Also, why not just ask this question in that thread rather than creating a new one?

The thread is closed.

This question is answered in the FAQ pinned at the top. After the early access period, just like any other releases. Steam does not allow early access of DLCs.

Which means its most likely going to be a bit before it goes to steam. I don't think early access is going to be a couple months only. Though don't quote me on that.

That's why I moved from Steam to Standalone, the bonus is that you can take your Steam keys with you.

In the last FAQ entry Wags said info on Steam and pricing is updated. I don't see anything on pricing anywhere?

I guess I misunderstood the price part of it?

"Updated regarding price and Steam."

..

Q: How much will DCS: F/A-18C Hornet cost?

A: That is still to be determined and will be announced when it is available for pre-purchase.

Didn't it always say that? What did it say before being updated?

Do yourselves a favor, move to the standalone and launch through steam as a non-steam app.

Q: Will the Hornet also be available on Steam?

A: Certainly, but Steam does NOT allow Early Access of DLC products (like all of our paid-for products on Steam). It will come to Steam once it is out of Early Access.

considering the nichest of niche status of the product, why should you even bother with that meaningless formality? just release it on the same day as the standalone version, early access state be damned...

I think you need to re-read the statement from Wags. It is not allowed, it isn't a formality.

and you need to learn logic about software state.

short easy example : no mans sky.

No Man's sky has nothing to do with this. DCS is a released product right? For a released product you cannot release early access DLC in steam.

Might I add that you need to learn how to talk to people. You come off as insulting and rude. Just a suggestion. :)

My question is really about the price. I see no mention of it and everybody is ignoring the question.

I really don't care about Steam, but I am interested in what the cost will be.

You again.... I guess you can't read as much as the other guy .... Says it in the FAQ.

And before it got updated, it just wasn't there. It was added by updating the FAQ.

It will be 1 million dollars:megalol::music_whistling::smartass::D

You could have said that without the personal insults, but I guess you're not capable of that.

I hadn't read the FAQ before and it was the reason I asked.

I mean can't this thread be closed ? It had its original question answered long time ago.

I am trying my hardest to not just pour out the salt here. Lets be a happy community ^.^, waiting for the presents, whenever and how much ever they cost :)

and whoever is not happy for... "reasons", don't buy

No Man's sky has nothing to do with this. DCS is a released product right? For a released product you cannot release early access DLC in steam.

no mans sky was an early access grade POS that was released as a fully released fully priced game, then over the years they were adding functionalities and fixing bugs for that game.

so the point is

it's all just a formality

wags said that ED couldn't release an early access version of hornet through the steam as a DLC for steam DCSW

we know that steam cannot have DLC in early access state displayed on the steam store.

I said

why bother?

just release the early access hornet as a normal DLC, with explanation detailing the actual state and the plan for future updates

problem solved

there's virtually no risk with that move, you won't get review bomb because not many would even get to know such DLC exist on the steam anyway given how little care toward hardcore sim genre games today.

I don't understand why it's so hard to get this logic.

Instead of asking ED to bend their rules and declare a product released while it is beta in reality, why don’t you just move to stand alone DCS and get it from day one if you can’t wait? I just don’t understand this.
