    Angry What a way to treat your pre order supporters Creative!!!! MAD

    I'm sorry but i only Pre Odered Rome 2 on steam for £44.99 a few days ago. I log on today and find its been reduced to £29.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    You make out that if you pre order you get the Greek states pack for free....how is it free for me now when you compare it to the people that pre ordered for 29.99? £15 difference?

    Tell me, how much are u planning on offering the dlc to non pre-orders...let me guess? £15.00? so in fact i have bloody paid for the first dlc, it wasn't free at all!


    I want answer this is utter bs

    First of all, calm down.

    Second, Im not sure where you see that the price was reduced on Steam as I dont see it, even on the European versions of Steam but Ill take your word for it.

    Third, a company can change the price of pre-orders whenever the hell they want, its their product. They are not beholden to you just because of bad timing. I bought Mass Effect 3 for $15. Literally the day later it was reduced to $7.45. A few months ago I bought Arma2:CO for $25 when a few days later it was $15. Was I pissed about it? Yeah, a bit, but how the hell should I have known the price was going to be reduced? So Iaccepted it and moved on, stuff like this happens. You dont like it? Dont buy another CA game.

    Forth, why do you think complaining here will change anything?

    And clean up your grammar if you want to be taken seriously here.

    Just checked the US Steam store, no discount and/or sale on the pre-order. You might want to double-check the UK store before you go postal.

    You are complaining that others can get a good deal because you didn't? Seems a little selfish to me. Personally, I am always happy to see games go on sale.

    Don't see a price change for Rome II on Steam neither (Belgium).

    On the matter of price reductions, well yes, it happens a lot that Steam gives a temporary discount on games. And you have very frequent sales periods too. Try to remember for the future that, unless you want a certain game really really hard and can't wait to have it, it's usually better to wait a bit until the price on your favourite game drops. If you can be patient, it's possible to acquire all your games dirt cheap.

    If you're a cheapskate like me, then you wait for a year or so and buy during a sales period. I'm also the type of guy who dislikes changing the tires of his car, because new tires are worth more than the car itself.

    £29.99 for me, if I were the op'er I'd be pissed too. Luckily, I don't trust CA enough to pre-order anything they make.

    Fair enough that if a price changes post release it's just bad luck, but dropping a price during a pre-order period is pretty poor going, I can only imagine the pre-orders weren't what Sega expected.

    LOL?

    anyway, should buy on amazon, its cheaper for starters and you have garantue that if the price drops later on then you will pay less too.

    oh and steam just sucks.
