Save 75% on Spiral Knights: Operation Crimson Hammer on Steam
well..thats just not cool.
I just got OCH for $5.99 1 week ago. >.<
Pies
i waited for it to go on sale
Anyone know if they usually match price on the regular shop?
Well that's just great, bought OCH 6 days ago, and NOW they release the discount..............
It's one of those Steam-exclusive DLC deals or something.
Inb4 Asukalan.
It IS called DLC on Steam... aka "Expansion mission"
It's cheaper only on Steam because it's a part of the Autumn steam sales. Think of it as a perk of being a steam user. Not a steam user? Sucks to be you, no discount for you.
Are you a Steam user? Did you already buy the expansion? Sucks to be you, too.
This is the reason then that we don't have yet here the chance to buy it with CE. Like in t
not enough no about this!
@Dukeplatypus
Thanks for announcing.
Once again steam players are valued over players from OFFICIAL SITE of Spiral Knights (or maybe its already Steam Knights?) Not only steam steam f2p players can trade OCH which lets them acquire it for CE but now they have great discounts now.
Cmon OOO how long you gonna continue this farce? keeping main site live just for lulz and doing everything to redirect players to steam?
Not to mention that you still "finding out" if its possible to make OCH avaliable for F2P players and you are checking out "if its even possible" while for weeks already ALL PLAYERS on asian servers can BUY OCH EXPANSION MISSION WITH CE.
Ah, there she is!
Where she is?
I think he's a he.
I don't know of many guys named Asuka. Also Mawa uses "she".
I have the OCH expansion on Steam. But I don't have a linked steam account for Spiral Knights. :/ Sucks to be me? I really don't want to give up my ability to play SK anywhere with the Java app window. I will probably also buy a copy for my account here and the one on steam will be a constant reminder of my foolishness.
I got OCH ages ago, but don't mind losing out on the price because I've had it since then; done several runs, got the weapons, masks, heated them, used them, made sets around them. I'm fine with it. Sucks for the people who bought it within the past week though; that's just unfortunate timing. We've all done it with some game or another. S'almost a bad thing that Steam has sales so regularly; makes you anxious to buy games at full price, knowing it could be on sale literally within hours. During the summer sales I simply refused to buy anything that wasn't on sale purely for that reason~
Once again steam players are valued over players from OFFICIAL SITE of Spiral Knights
Just no. Steam is putting OCH on sale. SK is not deciding "hey, let's contact Steam and tell them to put OCH on sale and punish everyone who doesnae use it". No, Steam decided "hey, we have a sales event coming up. Let's slash prices on some games and DLC" and happened to pick OCH. OOO have nothing to do with this.
When you walk into your local Gamestation and see a game on sale, do you expect the same game to be on the same sale in every other games store? Do you log on Amazon and expect to see it for the same sale there, too?
No. You don't. Any store can make sales whenever they want, regardless of whether or not the rest of the world meets the same sales. It's not a punishment for not being with Steam, it's a benefit for those who are with Steam. They're using Steams shop to buy their games, they get in on the sales that Steam does. Don't buy from Steam? Don't get Steams sales. It's pretty simple really, so enough of the pointing fingers and QQing.
Except that OOO has everything to do with the sale price. Valve can't just slash prices and give away games for free willy-nilly. Valve says to development studios that they're planning a sale on such and such date and these are the gimmicks they're going to use (probably with an NDA) and then Valve and the developers discuss what discounts they want to put out to attract attention to their game and if Valve will highlight it in their Daily Deals or whatnot. Every single discount on a game on Steam comes directly from the word of the devs.
Retailers are different because they subsist on buying games from the manufacturer and then selling them at a profit. They buy games at a certain price and if they don't sell, it just sits there in inventory. They can put games on discount because it directly cuts into their profits, not the manufacturer. Oftentimes when a game is on discount at a retail store, it's because they either need to clear out stockpiles or attract more attention to sell more games.
There is no limit on the amount of games in stock via Steam because it's all digital and Valve just takes a 30% cut of all transactions done via their services. They don't care what price the development studios set it at, they profit in every scenario.
Why only on steam ? it's still 5.95$ on Energy Depot
