Too expensive! Closer map review is here (in russian): https://youtu.be/6RVSk3PAg_I

No EA Discount and only a unfinished Map for Full Price? No way i dont will buy this. I have invested thousands of euros in DCS over the years but the pricing policy is getting worse and worse.

It is not for full price. Full price is 70 USD. You have it for 56 USD.

Yes ok you are right but Syria 55€, South Atlantic 50€, Persian Gulf 46€ so for me it is a full Price and all the other Maps was released at Steam with a EA Discount. I don't want to argue at all, but this map is simply exorbitantly expensive at this early stage.

Syria full price is 60 USD - marked as released
South Antlantic full price is 70 USD, now with EA discount to 56 USD
Persian Gulf full price 50 USD - marked as released

I talk about Steam Prices i dont want to buy via ED and my price is Euro not USD so at Steam Syria Full Price is 55€ and PG is 46€ and the South Atlantic costs 50€ and there is no EA Discount Mark on any of this Maps at Steam. And even when South Atlantic will be marked as released and dont think that it will change the Price at Steam.

50 Euro is 54 USD. Once the South Atlantic will be finished, its price will be increase to 60 USD or 63-65 Euro. Because there is not discount mark, does not mean it is not in discount. Steam does not allow to place discount right on release. For that reason the discount is set as common price.

Yeah well these EA prices are bit of scam they might release it in next few month and then they ask full price or they can keep it as EA for ever and have ''discount'' price

But they don't.

Norris, I know that you really know about DCS and everything that goes with it, but the Steam prices never changed between EA and release. If an EA discount is available, it will also be displayed on Steam. The only prices that changed in the past was the preorder discount but since a few month preorder for DCS stuff at Steam is not possible.

To show an example look for Manor Lords in the shop. It hit the EA on April 26th and has a 25% introductory discount until May 10th so Steam allows discount right on release for the EA.

The official website is the main source of information. There you can see for example the F/A-18C is out of EA and its price is 80 USD. From my purchase history list I can find its price in EA was 60 USD. I have bought it in 2018.

when does the Hornet come out of EA? i think it was at the end of 2022 if i am right. I bought it in Jan 2020 for 68,62€ and now it costs only 73€ so i think i bought it in new year or christmas sale.

You can't have a discount on Steam for longer than 2 weeks. That's why the EA price for DCS modules don't show as discounted on Steam. If you look at the DCS site, you'll see they are discounted for EA and what the regular price will be after EA.

There used to be a time when there was no EA discount, which is why some older planes (F-14, F-16, JF-17, etc.) are in still Early Access without a discount. After the disastrous F-16 launch, ED stated that there will be an EA discount (20%) as well as a pre-order discount (30%, if offered for pre-order).

Once the Kola map moves out of EA, the price will rise from $56 USD to $70 USD.

Manor Lords isn't doing an EA discount. It's a launch discount, and only lasts for 2 weeks. The game will still be in EA after the discount expires. Look at the price history of Ready Or Not. It was $40 during the Early Access period, but didn't show as discounted for the 1.5 years it was in Early Access. Then the price jumped to $50 when officially released out of EA last December. Same thing happened with Dune: Spice Wars. The price was $30 during the year+ of EA (without it showing as discounted), then they upped the price to $35 when leaving EA.

Awesome, a map by Orbx. As an owner of lots of Orbx scenery (FSX, P3D) I know it's going to look beautiful when finished. They are amazing scenery designers.
