hugo_rune Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 They're not a charity. If they are going to do it, as soon as they've decided to do it, you'll know about it loud and clear through their marketing. If there's no announcement, assume they won't.

rancer890 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I think last year there was a 10% discount on Steam if you preordered FM11 but I don't see it for FM12...

scoot4nat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's not the msot expensive game in the world is it? £29.99. So a discount of £4.49. You will probably find it at this price and less online. I don't get why people complain about the price of this game - far better value than a lot of things. I've ate steaks more expensive (and tougher!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Two weeks after this game is launched millions more will be spending £40+ for the latest COD, as scott said for the amount of hours that I get out of FM the £25 is money well spent, just a shame it has costs me thousands in PC upgrades.

Mojby Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My kids buy me the game every xmas so they can get it at a much lower price on e-bay (new and unused).

Kenco Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 It's more likely to be a discount for new customers, since we are already hooked and they know we will buy the next game anyway. Loyalty is bad in the commercial world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 As far as I remember Steam applies super charges to non UK customers, something like 30-50% more. Then I didn't complain, I just asked. It would be nice if non UK lucky customers could express their opinion, not everyone takes super high UK salaries and non UK customers via Steam pay much more then UK customers.

Anyway a man who manually washes dishes in UK earns 3 times the salary of a man washing dishes in my country ( one of the worst in the europe cause mafia etc... ) A stagist in my country earns 300 euros per months if he is lucky enough.
