gqren 49 Posted May 15, 2014 Not really anything that bothers me. I've already played the game enough to feel I've got my moneys worth, and will keep on playing. Let the sell even more, earn more, and perhaps create an even better game =) The DayZ discount is only $4.50, or roughly what kichi charges for a back alley Cleveland Steamer. Not that big of a deal. Aha... Well, how can one come into contact with the individual who has this favorable offer? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted May 15, 2014 <------Doesn't care about discount. I've gotten my $30 worth several times over. Yup.161 hours of gameplay. I can't really think of much else that you can purchase for that price giving that many hours of fun. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pazzmon 64 Posted May 15, 2014 Oh no! A game you bought goes on sale briefly for 15% less than what you paid for it! What about the computer you just bought for £599 and now the price has gone down by £100, are you going to complain about that and ask for your money back? People will scream at anything, just for the point of screaming... unfortunately a lot of it on these forums. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai (DayZ) 137 Posted May 15, 2014 You guys don't get it, it's not about us not getting a discount. I'm sure most of us have bought it ages ago, To say that is just dumb. It's about the game not being finished yet going on sale, This is a bad practice and sets a bad precedent. Don't be so mindless. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like they're doing a specific sale on DayZ. DayZ is arguably their most prominent game, so don't you think it would look like a huge cash grab if they were to mark down everything EXCEPT DayZ? This is not a bad practice and the only precedent it sets is that companies should give a nice sale every 5 years they're in business. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So i expect the thanksgiving sale to be possibly be even more off the product now. Whats the point of discounts when the game is no where near completion? Its not even a finished product. Why is it on sale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weedmasta 784 Posted May 15, 2014 Isnt this rubbish, game is not even out yet and there is a sale. Whatever happened to the join in early and get it cheaper model........ I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel cheated. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats the point of discounts when the game is no where near completion? Its not even a finished product. Why is it on sale? I think the only reason it's on sale is because they put their entire library (as far as I know) on sale. If you're gonna do an anniversary sale, may as well include it all. I don't think they're looking at it as a alpha vs. finished game thing, just simply a 15th birthday thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrostDMG 398 Posted May 15, 2014 I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel cheated. Same. Game should stay the same price when it's early access... Only rips off the fans who got it straight away when it went on sale! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weedmasta 784 Posted May 15, 2014 Then imagine how I feel, I bought Operation Flashpoint in 2001 and in today's birthday spirit, they are offering it for free. It's a slap in the face. It is not the same thing, They were pretty clear on the pricing strategy for Dayz SA and to suddenly turn around and do the opposite of what they said kinda makes people lose trust in the company and the development of the game naturally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't be for the people (us) that keep them in business. We already have their games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hannibaldaplaya 1095 Posted May 15, 2014 The game was put on sale - So? The price will get steeper, later, for now its priced reasonably, until the 19th at least... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimey Rick 3417 Posted May 15, 2014 While I agree it's pretty dumb to put an alpha on sale, at the end of the day, who gives a slippery fuck? It's two coffees, if that. If you can afford a computer to play DayZ on, you'll be just fine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
