Steam release skins or returning players? Any info yet?

  • Hello all,

    So I know people have asked this etc multiple times, but I want to know!

    It was said a while ago that returning players or players who purchase on Steam will get a small reward? I need to find this post and link it as proof, but does anyone know IF they've confirmed yes/no or what/if previous players get a bonus and/or new players just for the purchase if there is anything involved?

    Thank you!

    AFAIK this was never mentioned by someone from Rare.

    I'll try and find the clip, it was from them and a small comment saying a small reward, maybe I got confusing but I know I seen it somewhere.

    Either way, still something I and others want to know.

  • Congratulations! You bought the game late!

    Here's a sticker!

    Who said I bought the game late?

    I am also asking for the general purposes..

  • @menphuess

    No offense. I was just making a joke about the idea, not directed at you specifically.

    I have a real thing about exclusives in general and platform exclusives in particular, so don't take it personally.

    Ah that would make sense :)

    Yeah same with epic being terrible but Steam is a great platform and if you buy the game on Steam, why not get a skin? We bought the game on Microsoft and got skins, so the same can be returned.. It's not forcing people but if you REALLY want the skins then you will have to pay you know, I think it's okay!

  • @menphuess

    I get the idea, but anytime I see something like that I just get flashbacks to Batman: Arkham City where just about every retailer had an exclusive Batman outfit you could only get by preordering from them.

    And they had like five or six outfits!

    Want to play as Star Wars characters in Soul Calibre? Well, you better have every console if you want to play as all of them.

    Those and some other stupid deals soured the whole idea for me. So even something small like this gets no sympathy from me. I'm not a super-collector, so if something is given for buying on Steam, I'm not going to care. But I'll always view it as a stupid idea whose main purpose is to exploit the players.

  • @menphuess I am not sure I agree with this. I do agree Steam is a great platform, but you bought the game on Microsoft at Launch of the game. It supported the game and helped generate revenue so it could make the launch 2 years later on another platform. i do not think just because the game launches on another platform well after its development it should have new skins.

    I am going to buy on Steam as-well regards, but I want to know IF there is anything for the Steam market.

    Also, there is always purchase on Amazon you get this, purchase with us you get this.. If you do not agree with this, then surely you do not agree with the whole SoT Controller that was released and you get a free special skin... It's the same thing.

    I understand and appreciate your comments but for myself, markets, platforms all try to entice people in and this I think could/would be a good offer.. Plus, I want and many others want skins all the time :)

  • @menphuess still don't agree with the controller thing X)
