#Dcs world steam vs standalone Patch

However, not everyone likes going to the farm and by sending products to the retailers, the farmer significantly widens his market and pushes out vastly more products. Sure, you can go to the farm and get the goods cheaper and earlier and put the money directly in the farmer's pocket. However, I do think it works a bit like a farmer and the goods he produces. Originally posted by rudel_chw:So, I do what I can to support the developers, and thus it's just natural to purchase every dlc on their store, rather than have steam take a large chunk of the money that I pay.Д«est regards Hey rudel, yes you make very good and valid points and it is certainly something which is part of my thought process. I have therefore made a few purchases this December due to the positive changes I've observed and in a way that has made up my mind to stick with the Steam version. If you treat me (as a Steam player) with respect and make an effort to earn my money, I will reward you. So for me it is not a case of standalone vs Steam, it is Steam or nothing at all. Steam does all of that automatically, all in one place and with all my other stuff and I don't have to go through that ridiculous deactivation and re-activation nonsense. I've resisted the move to go to standalone, mainly due to the hassle of finding, downloading and updating the various versions. In addition, all of a sudden, almost all of the new stuff such as Nevada, WWII, Viggen and the Harrier are now available on Steam. This is particularly the case (in my local currency) in the current Dec sale. Not only are sales on Steam more frequent now, but they also seem to be more in line with standalone sales. However, there seems to have been a sea-change at DCS or Steam or both in the last few months. I stopped playing DCS and bought no further DLC. I was actually starting to wonder if relations between Steam and DCS had soured, fearing the demise of DCS on Steam! The final straw was when the Mirage 2000 not only took forever to come to Steam, but it also came with the shock that separate licenses would be required henceforth. I much prefer the Steam platform, but the disregard for Steam players was a hard pill to swallow and I started losing interest in DCS. New releases also took significantly longer to come to Steam.

In my opinion, DCS went through a bad patch on Steam a year or two ago, where sales were less frequent and discounts much lower than standalone. I've been grappling with that exact same question for the last two years.
