Is it possible to get the free secert dlc?

[Svampen]

Wait.. Isn't this a major marketing screw up or something?

If there was a free secret dlc on signup wouldn't the ones that pre-ordered the FM edition, believing that they'd get all the content, get pretty pissed?
And if it turns out to be included it in the FM edition those who both signed up and pre-ordered will get pissed since they won't get their free secret dlc as promised by the marketing.
Then they just got fooled into paying for some content that they've already been promised.

The best part would be if the "free secret dlc" (A few norwegian 1936 models) turns out to be a part of the season pass.


Please stop this paradox marketing, both the "free secret dlcs on signup" two years before release and the season passes. Pretty please?

do we know when we will get the secret DLC?

Probably when the game launch, but we should learn more soon. Read post #27.

Imo, If you buy the FM edition you should get every preorder/promotional dlc. what is a more loyal fan then one that is willing to pay top dollar?

Paradox has already done such marketing on stellaris. I also get pissed when I found out I missed stellaris sign-up.

Having money and loyalty are two different things.

It could even be considered that people with scarce money buying the base game are more dedicated than rich ones buying the FM edition.

The sign-up was free for everyone, but some took the few second to fill it.

You shouldn't, you avoided clicking hundreds of thousands times like an idiot...as I did.

so it's not possible to sign up any more?

exclusivity with such a brief and long ago window to enroll is a bit silly...

I'm still a loyal fan, but foremost i'm just a humble consumer somewhat concerned about consumer rights. As should you be.

 

[Mannstien]

We will communicate about this soon! Don't worry about it for now

Come on man, you know everyone worries about secrets!!!

Imo, consumers should use the leverage they have to punish dumb things like time exclusives, I think the best bet would just be give the dlc to those who signed up for free and then release it a little later for a small fee or even free.

I would like to just know if the passes to beta were actually handed out for getting 20 sign-ups or more, @BjornB can you confirm? I don't care who just that my efforts were not in complete vain lol

Such a brief ? IIRC it was open for about 1 year...

How can we tell if we are eligible? The site said thank you for signing up, but I haven't received an email or anything...

I will repeat what I have already written.

When it was active, after signing-up you would have to choose between majors countries which secret DLC you wanted.

If you signed-up too late, the message was thank you for signing-up - period - and a mention this was finished.

Needless to say if you have signed up too late then you won't have a say, but would someone who signed up late still be eligible to receive it?

No need to be a snot. I missed your post.

This is what I am trying to figure out. I would think if it says "thank you for signing up" you would get the stuff but its a bit unclear.

Seriously Purple Phoenix Revival DLC, it is always Bzy people.

random people that never touched a paradox game signed up for the dlc. and you have veterans that missed the sign up.
you should get everything if you pay the most expensive edition.

 

[Wrathe]

They screwed over anyone who missed the Stellaris sign-up campaign so it's not beyond them to not offer DLCs for sale if you miss the social marketing stunts they are pulling.
