Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together

Hey everyone!

Okay, we’re now into the next phase of our Beta! I just wanted to keep you abreast of how things are going, and what is going to happen in the next phase.

A long time ago, we discussed making Don’t Starve Together an update to Don’t Starve, and then raising the price of Don’t Starve to compensate. As we continued with building Don't Starve Together, the code diverged significantly, and it became clear that Don’t Starve Together would be a standalone expansion.

Thus, it didn’t make sense to force a price increase on our players, so in order to give players more choice, we’ve done the following:

1. All owners of Don’t Starve on Steam will get Don’t Starve Together on June 3rd, 2015!
   
2. If you would like to buy both Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together as a bundle post-launch, it is $19.99 -- the same price as if we increased the price of Don’t Starve.
   
3. If you would only like to buy one or the other, it is $14.99.

This way, people who currently own Don’t Starve on Steam still get multiplayer for free, and all new players get more choice. From a pricing perspective, it’s either the same price (the bundle) or cheaper (if you just want one of the other).

To wrap up, instead of simply updating Don't Starve, we have made it a stand-alone expansion, and we are gifting the game to all Don't Starve players on Steam on June 3rd, 2015.

If you haven't already, see our Roadmap[forums.kleientertainment.com] for info about what things are coming for DST.

I hope that clears things up for everyone! Once again, let me know your comments / questions and we’ll be happy to discuss. Now, on to making Wilderness Mode.

I bought the game but i'm still trying to understand why there is an even crescent number of games sold for * EUR (19,99€), which are more than * $ (19,99$).

[Lesno]

[SUSGI]

As I understand, we need to BUY a pack for get this DLC even we have don`t starve. So...why it called " for free" then? And the most awful thing is that i cannot share a copy of ds with my friend even i want and i can buy this pack. So, what`s the reason in it?

I have got the original dont starve. Do i get the Together DLC free forever

[Gostem]

Ok this is wonderful, so the fans of the game who purchased dont starve are being told we have to wait for early access to be done when other people can get the game. We were promised the free copies this makes no sense why make a promise but then hold off on it until early access is done? is this just so they can make a few more bucks if we dont want to wait?

You don't get it until early access ends apparently. So basically they're forcing people to buy it if they want to play it while it's popular. I could have sworn it said you just got it free, not "free when it exits Early Access" I wish I had a screen cap... time to screen cap everything from now on lol.

That's exactly what it is. I will personally be very cautious before ever getting a game from this developer again.

Yes, it's available now, but you won't get it until early access is finished, probably months down the road. So you're better off just waiting, or just buying Don't Starve Together now and playing it now.

Hmm ok, well i dont mind playing solo for a while since i never played it. i Guess they are quite similar, the biggest difference being that its not in multiplayer mode....?
