MassiveWalrus Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 hello, i bought bodenplate a day before the sale, i didnt know there was a sale coming i bought the standard edetion, now my question is is there a way to get my money back or can i upgrade my standard version to the premium thank 1
cardboard_killer Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I don't think so. I bought BoK at 25% off and then a week or two later it was 75% off, some campaigns and at least one plane in a similar situation, and decided to myself that that was money going to the next development in the game. Sure, I'd rather get the discount, but I'd rather fly now then wait a month. And I say that while I'm currently out of a job! The sales are addictive though--I recently bought someone with a little interest BoS as a gift because I want new players and for $20 it's the best thing since canned beer! I can't go to see a movie for $20. In the future, I'd recommend always buying the premium, too, as it is always cheaper than later buying the two planes separately (as I did with BoM and BoK!), and you will almost always want the other planes eventually.
Notclear Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 The only solution is to pre-order future releases, so we have time to forget our thoughtless purchase and we are never disappointed when come the sale periods. 3 5
Jaegermeister Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 You can be proud that you have supported the devs by paying more than the minimum. 3
Finkeren Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer, but that's how sales work. Some people are just bound to have bought the stuff right before it goes on sale. But look at the bright side: This is arguably one of the best products to pay full price for. The devs are a small, independent team, and they need every penny. Edited February 19, 2020 by Finkeren 1 3

The worst they can do is say no. 1
69th_Mobile_BBQ Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 If it's literally 24 hours or less that you purchased, then the sale was announced. I wouldn't feel bad about asking the devs to throw you a bone, so to speak. It's more than likely that the answer will be "no", but that truly is their prerogative and it would be unfair to fault them for it. You might get lucky though.
DD_Arthur Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I think you deserve a refund for having a great name? 1 2
MasserME262 Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 As someone said, focus on the "good side": this is not a big dev company, so every penny count. I sometimes bought things at full price, and I feel 0 regrets? 1
Rjel Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I think the only purchase I've made as a sale item was the Russian bi-plane the last time it was on sale. I really have zero interest in it and I have Flying Circus for any low and slow flying I want to do regardless. Everything else I bought as a pre-order and never once regretted any of them. Even if you don't get a refund, if you fly the sim 100 hours and then walk away from it forever, I'd guess it would be a worthy investment in my mind. Happy flying!
40plus Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Every gold (and green) tag under my name and avatar was acquired in the presence of alcohol. Up late, enjoying some beer, credit-card within reach, wife in bed..... dangerous. Zero regrets though. Great dev team who show their customers immense respect. 1 3

Hanu Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I've bought everything before the sales, but my cunning plan has been to buy everything again from the Sale to my second account! 2

Babayega Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 it is what it is. You should feel good you helped them so they can spend more time and effort developing this great sim.
