I think there's a topic about that already... you might have missed it because it has a rather provoking name like "description on steam wrong now, remove f2p tag!!!111" or something...
Anyway, wrong place to discuss that here.
This topic is about players that use the nonsteam client not being able to get the expansion for ce, while steam players can do that.

So yes- it's quite a good idea to stop bumping, but it's your choice.

Hmmm... But how will they know that still not everyone [purchased / bound to steam / quit the game] yet and it still needs fixing if noone bumps this thread? Maybe in 20 years when they're almost done with it, they'll look into this thread and think: "They stopped bumping, OH MY GOD, we are too late, they are all dead!!!111 Well, nothing we can do about it now but grieve, so let's just delete that almost finished patch that fixes everything and forget about the whole thing" :3

The DEVs do not seem to be interested to apply your patch to the main project at the moment because they have other priorities... please fork the git tree from the latest stable version and submit your code there directly so we can see if it works.

Hardy har har. I should say that that program you just saw came from the Game Programming All in One book. (I'm just saying because, you know.) Anyway, if something is wrong, if there is a bug, you have to scan ALL of that, and some games(such as this one, I guess) can go up over 10,000 lines. This game could be adapted to being an SK game, but, I need to learn a bit more first.

um um
Steam and EVEN SITE client gets all the good stuff (justified with site having wiki and forum access blah blah)
As a player who's main is from Kongregate I have to actually make an alt to use wiki/forum etc
Give Kongregate players some love too.
Pweeeeease?
Main point
Steam client gets more stuff, ie. Trade of OCH
Site client gets wiki usage (exclusive to site accounts, I think)
Kongregate client has no benefits. /think Does OOO remember they have a kong client...?
I'm not even whining so much. YET. harharhar.

Sure, why not, start a
Sure, why not, start a discussion about "what's a necro and what isn't",those are always "helpful"... :P
So: I say this isn't a "necro" because:
- There is relevant (dev) info about unfinished business in this thread here which means both: the "business" isn't finished yet AND it would be bad to open a new thread because there we'd "lose" the info (which is in this thread here ;))
- The "official" answer in this thread sort of implies, that at some point "things will have been looked into and then 'we' should know more" (which hasn't happened yet)... it's been a while, so it's adequate to express that we didn't loose interest in this here topic yet to encourage the poor people that have to do the hard work of "looking into stuff".

OK, now that we've established that noone is interested in useless discussions about what's a necro and what's not... back to the topic:
So, how'd those investigations turn out? Any news? Haven't been here for a while, did I miss something?
Any plans to at least make it available at reduced price for nonsteam customers (on steam it seems to be 75% off ATM), too?

Refactoring.
Refactoring. As a software developer-in-training, I can say personally that "simple" implementation of a new mechanic, system or mission that changes the layout of the original software is daunting to say the least. To be really blunt, adding new features without breaking anything AND getting those features to work correctly -CAN- be impossible without partial-complete rewrite of game code, from the ground up, and sometimes that just isnt feasible. The last thing you'd want to do is be impatient for new content or more comfortable content while the Devs are trying to figure out if it can be done correctly; that would be like asking a car mechanic to put a monster truck engine in your Smart Car because you'd like the option of going a bit faster.The end result may be something you desire, but the mechanics required to make that a reality may just not be possible without danger.

While here, on OFFICIAL SITE, OOO is supposed to "think if its even possible"
Sorry but something is wrong in here. Are they trying to do it? Or they are just giving us crap to make us wait forever and they just DONT WANT to make f2p players have OCH.

Did you know Steam has an offer going on that if you purchase now Crimson Hammer you can get it at like 75% discount? Or something like that. Maybe after that it will be avaiable... or not! Dunno if already ended too.

Even now after the steam
Even now after the steam price is back up, for customers that use the official client this expansion costs twice as much as for steam customers. Least thing to do would have been to make the prices match - including during the 75%off - Period. I find this way of handling customers is just insulting.
This game did not become officialy a p2p game for one reason: DLC is completely optional, and it can be obtained via trade (without using real money), if you HAD to buy the dlc to play the game (take world of warcraft's expansions for an example), SK would officialy be a p2p game.
