Upcoming Sales?

New member here.  I just finished reading all of the stickies and one in particular hit home.  "DO NOT BUY FROM GREY/BLACK MARKET WEBSITES" by Jason_Williams. 

 

These website users steal credit card info to purchase keys and resell them at a discount.  The credit card gets charged back and the developers get their funds clawed back ending up with nothing.  Once the developers find out those keys have been stolen, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.  If they invalidate the keys, they end up with bad publicity from folks who purchased their keys from one of these sites.  If they do nothing, then the cycle continues.

 

Knowing this, does 1C offer black friday sales traditionally? I am considering diving head first into the deep end and purchase every game package offered, and I would not mind waiting a few days to purchase directly from 1C so they get 100% of the funds.

There are frequent sales through the main store here as well as on Steam.  Give it a couple weeks and there should be a new sale running

We can both chip in.  We might pull together enough that they will let us look at it.

Amazing. I wish I had the funds.  If I ever get to where I could afford it, I would definitely collect WWII era airplanes.  I've always loved them since I was a child.

That's actually cheaper than I would have expected...

Alright, what if we all chip in so we can buy the Spit so the Devs have a working model that they can then digitally model to sell back to us as a premium purchase?  Win win!

Just say "honey, it's an investment not a toy." That will square it with the wife.

Damn! I knew I would find a use for the WWII aircraft hangar that they have just demolished behind my back fence.

 

Oh well, I did enjoy looking at the photo's though. Makes you realise how much work is involved in keeping older classics airworthy.

 

Thanks for posting the link.

Welcome to the community! Yes, there are frequent sales. We had one around Halloween and there's typically been a sale somewhere around Black Friday.

 

You'll likely not need to wait too long.
