Title: ShipSimulator Extremes for pre-order
Post by: TNeves on January 07, 2010, 13:26:34
HI guys,

While I was surfing on the Amazon.co.uk website, I found SSE for pre-order with the release date at February 19, 2010. If this is true its good news, and the price is also good.

well the release date for SSE is April, so i don't know where they got february from.



personally i wouldn't trust the seller with my money, if they can't even get the release date right.

It's Amazon.... Maybe they have the release date wrong, but for sure that is a trust store.

Sorry i think that are a wish from them, Paul-v-step say 2Q of 2010 so i think that are a big wish
you can read it in the German
Could be that I mist something before, but

Has anyone noticed the change of releasedate / periode ?  :o

On the German forum today:

Wich means: Releasedate is 2nd quarter of the year 2010, for quite some time !  :doh:

Never heard that mentioned before / until now !  ;D

Hi Guy's
THE quickest way anyone will get the game is by buying from  V-STEP by download on
day of release  ;D

Yes, but I think that V-step should add the Download+Card Box option, because I don't spend that much money in games, and when I do it, I like to have the box of the game ;D Collection purposes.

Hi Guy's
If you look in the download section were they sell the game's you have the option to do
either buy boxed version and wait for shipping or buy download and play.
There is nothing wrong with buying D/L and writing it to a dvd for backup and printing you'r own covers
                                                                                                                   Eric
The D/L version is usually cheaper than box set

Its simply not the same thing. What I am saying is buying the boxed version, and have for download the game also for the same price. I've seen this in other games, like sail simulator. This way, you can play the game, when it was released, and also have the box for collection.

For more 10€ you can buy the boxed version plus the option to download it from the website. For me it would be great ;D

For the many SS users who don't come on this forum and don't know the release date... who do you think they will buy from- the one publishing the earliest release date?

Then 2 days before that, "Dear sir.. sorry. it's delayed. We weren't to know. blah blah blah" But they will have your money by then...

I think Terry posted something in a older topic about the same thing on amazon. That in their Terms of Service they say that release dates can be made-up.

LMAO

Edit:

Amazon do seem to do that quite a lot. I often see them advertising things that I know cannot be released when they claim it will be. That seems dubious to me, at best...

But it is Amazon who make the claims, not the authors or suppliers of the books or software, etc.

The Version on Amazon USA of ShipSim Extremes is the Offical Amazon Listing for SSE! How do i know this you ask? Well How do i always know stuff? I ask the developers and or Frank! So the Version on Amazon USA was put up by VStep Not the other version can i please see a link to this?

It's already on the UK Amazon listing for a few months now so it's no big secret.

I note on the UK Amazon that SSE is "by Ascaron", not Vstep so I suspect it is a games vendor who will be responsible for the marketing and distribution of SSE.

EDIT: just found a wikipedia entry for Ascaron which seem to confirm my theory:

"Ascaron is also known for publishing or distributing many games from smaller developers and publishers"

No problem Jim.

I would imagine Amazon is OK as I think it's because Vstep need help with the distribution when SSE is released, so it's possible they may have asked Ascaron to act as a vendor on their behalf. (could one of the Moderators possibly confirm this?)

I've checked the United States Amazon website for SSE and there's a different company called Paradox, which again I suspect is a distribution company for that country.

I might buy one from Amazon or Play.com, however I am more interested in the minimum PC specifications for SSE, which are not known at this stage.
Title: Re: ShipSimulator Extremes for pre-order
Post by: Stuart2007 on January 09, 2010, 14:00:19
That is really the job of the publisher. That is what the publisher is for... That's why they will take a massive cut of the eventual retail price.

Isn't this Paradox or something similar?
Title: Re: ShipSimulator Extremes for pre-order
Post by: McGherkin on January 09, 2010, 17:10:05
Yeah Paradox.

I think Pardox will be responsible for MAKING the boxed copies of SSE, and Ascaron for distributing them.

I'm just gonna miss that Lighthouse Interactive film...
