Which definitely suggests to me, a CKII converter and a copy of CKII to people who might not have bought it, seems very likely indeed now.

Not only, but to all who will pre-order. If you own it, you will receive a gift into inventory to gift to someone.

Which would drum up lots of players into CKII the most popular paradox game to date, which might entice others to pre order into or later buy EU4 especially if theres a converter which would allow people to continue games and empires.

people... please don't spoil the surprise!
i really wish eu4 a great start but guessing and side-guessing the 'not yet released' information is a little rude, i think...

so please: mark this kind of threads with a "SPOILER AHEAD" warning.

thanks and cheers!
chem!

Paradox would give away a game for free that still costs 40€ when you buy it normally? That sounds like a very generous offer, actually a bit too generous from a business point of view.

Too good to be true. But I never played CK series anyway. I watched a few videos and it looked awesome but too complicated (compared to EU - from my own point of view). We shall see.

Yeah looks too good to be true
Maybe they will disactive it now someone found the truth !

I doubt any of DLCs for CK2 will be included, so maybe it will be quite profitable.

 

[Attalus]

Not sure. I bet they will make a big sale in August for the release of EU IV

Not surprised with the current trend lately of a publisher giving away copies of older games as pre-order bonuses for their newer games.

 

[BoleslavLev]

Btw how is it calculated what is preorder and what not? I preordered aůready, so this is more theoretical question, but it took some time before bank transfered money to steam and steam got it. My question is: Does preorder counts from the time you make a command to send the money or from the time money arrived at the account of the distribution company?

If you got it in your Steam library now, it is a preorder. Or what do you mean?

If it is about bonuses and you mean that for example you preordered in June but it was finalized in July, it doesn't matter, you get all the bonuses.

Not really if you consider that CKII goes on sale often for 10 euro, brings in more people who might buy DLC and is generally good for pre-orders.
Look at Bioshock Infinite who gave away Bioshock and XCOM enemy unknown.

40€ is the price for CK2 without DLC's. If you want the complete edition then that's 80€ list price.

10€, really? I don't really keep track of sales, especially outside gamersgate, but a 75% discount is still pretty hefty. But even then it's 10€ plus the DLC already announced, that's quite a bit and I believe PI isn't such a big publisher that they'd hand out freebes like that. I don't say that it's impossible, but it would surprise me.

I meant it the other way around. Suppose somebody would buy it in August, but before all transactions would be done, the game would release - would he get bonus DLCs?
