PCPS3 DLC Release Discussion : V

» Wed Jan 16, 2013 7:26 pm

This is not the forum or the thread for you to flame so please keep the posts on topic, civil and constructive, nor do we want to see platform bashing or inciting console wars. Thanks .

From Gstaff:

January 9th

It won't be this week.

It's unlikely I'll have any new information to share this week, but I'll let you know as soon as I can. We know you guys are eager to play Dragonborn.

Let us just hope it might come this week finally...

I started walking towards the horizon once, I never got there....

It is 02:15, Thursday morn - no new achievements, no new DLC's. I cannot get my local cache validation to work, so no news about any new files. Grasping at straws, maybe that means something more than just Steam having another bad hair day?

Dude, I don't know why you don't understand this concept but it won't update on our timezone. Everyone keeps telling you that. It has never updated on our timezone, it goes by one of Americas. If we're going by Bethesda's then I believe it is only 8:26am on the 16th. If we're going by GMT then its 1:28pm on the 16th.

Either way it is only for us that its Thursday the 17th.

I'm betting that the eagerness has vanished in about 50% of the PC\PS3 Skyrim consumers, maybe even more.

Yeah, It's 2:31 PM on the 16th in Germany

The Bethesda staff will most probably just arrive at work by now

I already notice that mine is decreasing as well. And I was anticipating that DLC so badly...

This mentality baffles me. I have bought several houses second-hand... does that mean I stole them? (...)

The industry is pushing hard to outlaw a right that always existed. People have been trading books for centuries (and the anology between a book and a piece of software is fitting because, in both cases, you own the support, not the content)

However, it's true that the publisher doesn't earn anything from a second hand sale. This is the first reason why the media industry as a whole is looking with interest at digital distribution method. The second reason is that, in case of digital distribution, unsold copies doesn't occupy shelf space prompting store owners to deflate the prices of perfectly valid products for no other reason than clearing the inventory.

I can go out and buy a new, boxed copy of Skyrim for PC at 29.99 or buy it via Steam, still at 49.99. Looking at Steam sales charts, however, I'm beginning to think too many people are either plain lazy or have too much disposable income.

Console owners still have the 'luxury' of being able to buy used copies, at least until this generation lasts. I look at the Steam 'Top Sellers' chart weekly and Skyrim has always been there since its release. Most of the time it stays in the top 20, which is actually amazing for a 1+ year old game. Meanwhile, for the past 6 months, I've seen nothing but used copies on sale at my local Gamestop for the Xbox and PS3.
