Shad0wman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Why exactly do I feel like Klei is double dipping. Why do I have to purchase game twice? Why could this not be DLC for XBOX ONE Don't Starve Giant Edition? So disappointed about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer ImDaMisterL Posted September 8, 2017 Developer Share Posted September 8, 2017 It's a whole new game, and the sequel to Don't Starve lore-wise. The mechanics were completely changed to fit MP, and there are quite a lot of technical complications that made them decide to go this way. DST comes with RoG content for free, though, and A New Reign, which was a free DLC already added to the game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumina Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 No, Klei isn't double dipping. The game required a lot of work. Also, if you already have Don't Starve on Xbox you should be able to have a discount on DST if you preorder the game, if i'm not wrong. I'm sure I saw someone posting something about it in the Winona topic. Maybe it's not working fine at the moment ? But with the discount, the price should be in range with a DLC price.

Shad0wman Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 I do have ds giant Ed on Xbox and Xbox gold and I don't have the sale. It seems as if some have the sale and others don't. Weird. Could this get cleared up so I can purchase the St and stop complaining so much. Cuz I can complain a hell of alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumina Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I don't have the power to clear it up, but i hope it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Residays Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Truth be told, there isn't anything stopping an indie company from releasing a game at $60 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlothyHog Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Same for me, no discount. Hope someone figures this out before the 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekay Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Am I the only one left scratching their head at how miserly some people are in regards to Klei's pricing? DST is one of the best survival games currently on the market with hundreds of hours of content and people are still complaining that it costs $15. 7.5 if you take into consideration that (at least on steam) you set a second copy to share with a friend. I've bought all the Both Don't Starve games and all the single player DLC at fully price and it was well worth every penny. I know cost is relative to a person's given situation but if you compare Klei's business model vs pretty much any big name title, you get so much more than the average for a lower cost.

Lumina Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I could understand that people don't want to pay full price if they feel like they wouldn't have buy DS if they had know that DST would be released "soon", for example. We are speaking about Xbox release (so not pc and steam), so maybe it's not the same thing than PC. I mean, on PC, Klei was (for me) amazing. A lot of key for beta for free, free DST for DS owner if they owned the game before one date i don't remember, various bundles allowing people to find one offer fitting their taste. But i don't know how it is on Xbox and how clear all of this is. For example, some people got a mail with a discount, some others people (owning the game or being xbox gold member or whatever) don't have the discount, and they don't know why. So i'm not judging people complaining about price, because i don't have enough context to understand if they have reason for this. I could also understand that paying full price if you already have DS could be expensive (especially with the fact that, as already said, i don't know if it was clear that DST will come too, and when).

Shad0wman Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 There appears to be a glitch on the xbox store and Klei is not acknowledging it. I know people who have pre-ordered it for 4.95, so it pretty difficult for me to plop down 15.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumina Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Someone got an answer from Klei about it. So there is a problem but a fix should come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1b3r0n Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I first was thinking like you, but the work Klei has done justify the 2 versions game. It's really another game and it also has it own dlc with ANR. I can't blame Klei, they're doing great games and listen a lot to their community.

Totally apart from the issue of discounts not appearing equally, I couldn't agree with this more. Do you ever go to the movies? I'm going tonight, and I'll pay more than this for 2 hours of entertainment, while I've gotten hundreds and hundreds of hours of fun from DS/DST/Shipwrecked. I guess someone who'd never played the game might wonder if they might be shelling out $ for something they won't like and never play, but anyone who even kind of enjoys it should recognize what a fantastic deal these games are. I buy the mobile versions just to support Klei, even though the controls drive me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumina Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Honestly, i didn't saw anyone complaining about pricing, except here when i could understand it since the situation is special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellimarual Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Sorry, I did not mean to drag anyone in this thread. I have definitely seen people complain about the price or otherwise accuse Klei of being greedy (specifically with regard to the skins market)!

Lumina Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm happy i didn't saw it. I think that Klei is pretty fair with pricing since we got plenty of option (bundle, pack), so i don't think that the price is too high. I don't know about skin market price, since i don't really care about skin (i mean, they are great but i'm not unhappy not having one, so the price isn't important for me).

I've bought many games from Klei too. Good for us. My issue initially was that it would just blend in seamlessly with the giant edition I have on Xbox as I had nooooo idea it was a standalone game. My other issue was everyone talking about how they were getting it for $5, but I have to pay $15, makes no sense. I care about saving money, if you don't, good for you, but I'm not going to judge you for it either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justme111 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I think that DST and DS should be separate games mainly because klei has put over thousands of hours into coding both games and we are just getting 40 dollars for many hours of game play.
