Starbound + Steam Xmas sale

Will starbound be going on sale for the steam xmas sale?

I want to buy the game but I don't want to pick up just to have it go on sale like a day later like all other good things in life do.

 

Not likely. It was only just released.

If you're so worried, buy the game for 15$ to support the developers or wait for a sale.

I said it. Sue me.

EDIT: So THAT'S what he changed it to. Okay.

 

What has this world come to when people will wait for a sale on a $15 game?

 

The world has come to an upcoming Steam sale, of course!

 

yea, really unlikely. even if it is on sale, it'll probably just be 10%

 

It also be a slap in the face to all of us who pre-ordered months ago. Don't expect Starbound to go on-sale until some months after version 1.0 is released.

 

It's $15, that is all there is to say.

 

I've waited for sales on $10 games (they drop to like 99 cents, which is pretty awesome), so people waiting on $15 sales isn't surprising for me.

 

No way. The game JUST came out. It's not gunna go on sale. Especially not after so many people pre-ordered to support the game, they wouldn't cut the price for "non pre-orderers".

 

I'm sensing a bit of entitlement here. Not saying that there will be a sale, but let's not start classifying people in quotation marks, hm?

 

Doubtful, they don't need to do a sale, but at the same time they've made a lot off of this game already so I could totally see it happening.

 

Steam sales have notoriously good prices, but it's also quite common for very new releases to not be discounted at all, or if they are, very small.. like 10% off at best.

 

Maybe a silly question, but...the game is not technically out yet. it is not yet a complete game. why would they be putting it on sale before it is even done?

 

1. It's in no way, shape or form a "slap" in the faces of people who pre-ordered. Pre-ordering doesn't entitle you to anything OTHER than what is stated; e.g. beta access, which you have; soundtracks, which you get and so on. Learn what you're paying for before making claims. What you paid for to get access on day 1 doesn't mean anything. At all. Pre-ordering already gets you perks -- don't get greedy.

2. Even AAA games that are recently released typically get small sales when they happen on Steam. Will Starbound get one? Who knows, but just because it's "new" doesn't exempt it from any possible sales.

 

Holy shit. The game is 15 bucks...

It's already on sale. What's wrong with you people?

 

Its not impossible. Pre-orders have been going on sale before, and discounts have been known to occur even shortly after "release" altough usually these are fairly small discounts.

Anyway, its not announced as far as i know and somewhat unlikely. You have to keep in mind that a discount so early after going up means people have just bought it for full price. Doing a discount then could have a nasty backslash for the devs from those who supported their product from the start, as these people might feel scewed over a bit. So i'd say its unlikely.

 

In the future the price will most likely raise to $20 (as long as they keep going in the direction they are going)

Get it while you can.

 

I definitely wasn't trying to sound entitled, It was late and I just couldn't think of a name for people who didn't pre-order. Regular purchas-ers? What I was trying to say is they just sold the game to so many people that it leaped to #1 in steam's chart, and they wouldn't cut the price so soon.

 

Seriously some of you guys, so survey said NO, stop shooting down his wish to save money. I totally agree on two things: Its 15 bucks, no big loss. Also if I can save and have 5 dollars to buy myself something else more power to me. Nothing he has done is wrong, he was simply being wise about his mula.
Don't state as fact... jus' read signature
