VP, Tripwire Int.
In principle, correct. But we are looking at clever/smart ways to set it all up to make sure that everyone gets a fair shot...
yeah. lemme know where to send the money. i'm in!Well I'm gonna buy it so just let me know how much..lol..
Hmm, I paid 40€ for RO2. So if RS is lets say 25€, I will get 15€ on top?
Just kidding, but it should be well tought over.
I paid $20 for RO2. If RS is $25, will TWI give me $5?

think reading wilson's post and reading between the lines
what hes saying is all should get a fair deal, so that could mean those with the in before the beta get a little something extra to balance things out.
think thats what there looking at is how to make it fair to those that pre purchased and those that came in late and got it cheap
could be wrong but that how i read he's statement, if i'm wrong no doubt he'll correct me

Well one thing that will never change, is those that come later to a game will always tend to get it cheaper. That's just how the industry works. To compete with newer items, older games drop their price and go on sale to entice new players to check them out that previously passed it up (due to price, interest or any other number of potential conflicts to them buying the game).
As this is our first expansion pack ever, we are still working on how exactly it will all play out. One of the things we do not want to happen is to split the community any more than possible. And to do that, like games such as the IL-2 series (and Company of Heroes to some extent), we have decided to include the multiplayer component from the previous installment.
This way new players to the series who have come in from Rising Storm can also play with all the previous players, while we work on how we will pull existing RO 2 player forward (and no, it will not be free). While we are still committed to providing free content to our players, just as we always have been, we have always stated we hold an exception for full expansion packs. Unlike Killing Floor, we can't generate revenue off of our free content updates with paid DLC skins in the Red Orchestra series. So to this end we have decided to trial a full expansion while still providing free content updates. We are still working out many things, and all of this is subject to change as we move forward.
As I have stated before, as long as players are playing our games, and we can produce a profit off of them, we will continue to support them well into the future (see Killing Floor, which now gets more updates than it did in the period following its launch). This is a two way street between us and the community, and we'll always be the first to initiate with the creation of content, but the existing players need to continue to play and we need to draw new players in.

This is pretty much how everything works if it is kind of fair. When I go to a concert with 4 bands and I come to the last band it is pretty common that I dont have to pay the full price (or I maybe even get in for free).
The only thing that I dont really like is that that RS seems to go more in a developed and published by TW direction. Not that I think that bad things are going to happen that TW would dictate how RS is going to play and how it is going to be but I liked it more when I had the impression was that TW asked a kind of modding all star team to develop something for RS and depening on the outcome it will be released in different forms. It feels a bit like the "lets see what happens" approach is gone.
okey people some news from the devs.
What We Are Up To - Barashka
So...
here what i found interesting
If i get it right... Ro2 owners will get lets say ... a Demo (closes thing i could found)
If it will work how i understad it and how its written there... then it will be great. It will give the posibility to test RS and to even play it

Yep..... I'm with Butch on this one..... I'll buy to too.
Why not making sth like this: (Assuming RS would cost USD 20)
1. Everyone who preordered RO 2 gets a 60% discount
2. Everyone with the inb4reset achievement gets a 40% discount
3. Everybody that bought the game before the GOTY patch gets a 33% discount
Rising Storm + RO 2 for USD 25.
This would give Everybody a decent discount considering at what point of RO 2s lifetime they joined and supported TWI. PLUS, it would give people that haven't heard/were not interested in RO 2 up to now, TWO good quality games for USD 25, which would still be a steal and which should still make some good bucks to both, TWI and the RS dev team.
Then again, what would I know, I am neither TWI nor RS staff and everything I posted here is pure speculation and just my thought
PS: of course I don't mean that a player who has bought the DDE version AND has the inb4reset achievement to get 60% discount (= 8 USD selling price) and another 40% on top of that because of the achievement.

I don't see any problem with the money.....Its more about principles for me. For instance from my personal preference I don't want to pay money for the development of aids for new players, new unlocks, time spent on streamlining the maps etc. Because I already payed a lot of money for things that would eventually make me stop enjoying ro2. So money is almost irrelevant for me.
So really, If it was an expansion for ro ost (similar to DH) then I'd play full price. Because ostfront is the boss. If superiority can be defined well then thats ost. Its the source of life and wealth..its in the champions league with games like ofp cwc, mafia, and gta. Games that created their own formula.
