Is it possible to get the free secert dlc?

[Meroveeus]

It takes time - and patience = as already stated - so just wait and in 6 months or a year you can buy most likely the dlc's

You don't have a grievance, you have a sense of entitlement matched only by Jordan's tits in its extreme over-inflation.

And yet, what he does have is a valid argument based on reason, to which this is not a rebuttle.

You keep repeating the word entitlement like it's a bad thing. People here are entitled; they've put forward their money for a game without receiving anything but entitlement. People may be entitled and have complete validity in their entitlement. It's the basis of the concept of contracts. Your throwing the word around as a pejorative achieves little but the revelation of your weak grasp on the idea on which you seem to base you "argument", most likely indicating that you borrowed someone else's intellectual work without understanding the utility of said work. This is the mental equivalent of using a keyboard as a hammer; you can do it, but it's not really what it was intended for.

Also, to say someone has entitlement is to say they right to claim what they're claiming. You're talking about false entitlement. The false is very important.

People are not entitled for the free dlc unless they participated by signing up.

For the preorder people are only entitled of what the preorder packages contains.
Constantly mixing both doesn't make it right.

I find it infinitely amusing and depressing that people are so worked up about missing out on a "minor cosmetic DLC", that know exactly zero details about.

This might sound dumb, but I vaguely remember signing up and having to pick one of three sides. The problem is, I'm not sure, it's been so long.

How do I know if I've signed up?

Shouldn't it be stated somewhere, like the steam page, that there is a campaign exclusive DLC though?

Because having ppl pay 90€ upfront for a heavily marketed premium edition like the field marshal edition without letting them know is borderline false marketing IMO.

I can totally understand and sympathise that collector types may be annoyed or upset that they might have missed out on something (and hopefully in the future there will be a way for those people to get that stuff).

What I don't understand, though, is what on earth that has to do with the Field Marshal edition and why people are upset that they will be getting "only" exactly what was advertised in it?

If you remember this that's a good sign as most people asking don't (meaning they probably didn't make it on time).

You will get the secret DLC on release.

For the Stellaris sign-up I received the two bonuses DLCs in the "keys" sub-section of my Paradox account on release day even if I had not bought the game at that moment. If you have linked your Paradox account with your Steam account you can activate them directly from the "keys" sub-section". If not, just copy the key and paste it in your Steam account.

Such saltiness...... eesh.


EDIT: it's only a minor cosmetic DLC guys.

Your whole post is based on the fact that you are ignoring the fact that I said he had a "sense of entitlement", not that he had an actual entitlement. There is not an actual entitlement, because the item to which they are imagining entitlement is not the item, nor part of the item, which they have purchased, and at no point has the person selling that product even suggested that it is. One of the central aspects of a contract is that one party does not get to randomly insert additional entitlements after the fact. Your ad hominems don't just attack the man, they attack the straw man, and as such will be considered with the contempt that the whole post merits, and your attempt at a parting shot fails as thoroughly as all of your other attempts to be clever, as anyone other than a toddler of subnormal intelligence would realise that falseness is implicit in the phrase "sense of entitlement".

It is a product of the attitudes that give us "microaggressions", "safe spaces", and a whole raft of other such infantilising BS. Rather than thinking "Hey, if I'd signed up then I'd have got a freebie.I'd better pay more attention next time.", it has to be "Hey, how dare you shaft me by not giving me something I didn't sign up for."

Have you seen the Stellaris "platypus or riot"-thread? :/

 

[Flipity]

God forbid people don't follow marketing campaigns

its going to be funny if after all this discussion, it turns out the secret DLC is a wallpaper of the nation you picked.

That seems.. probable. Or a loading screen.

Well, I'll happily trade my Stellaris secret DLC keys for HoI IV ones.

Nothing says a "sense of entitlement" is a false sense of entitlement. You would still have a sense of entitlement to things you are actually entitled to. It only means you perceive the entitlement. The false is still very important.

I think third reich "symbols of domination" won't be in the game despite all the threads complaining about this...

Isn't it only Siegrunen and the swastika which are actually banned though?

Read the last 100 closed threads on this topic if you want to discuss that.

I was only making a joke because one of the Stellaris sign-up DLC was called "symbols of domination". Period.

I was talking about IRL. As far as I am aware only those two things are banned in Germany.

This thread is about the secret sign-up free DLC. Hundreds of threads are available for what you want to discuss.

I refer you to my previous comment and invite you to draw your own conclusion as to what this reveals about you.
