Frontier Store vs. Steam Frontier Store

[ProLeetNoob]

Can someone explain to me why its more expensive to use the In Game Frontier Store, then the Actual browser frontier store? is it because Steam needs a cut? Pretty stupid if you ask me.,

[grapplehoeker]

A 30% cut if I recall correctly.
It makes no difference to me, I'm not paying a single cent more for extras. DLC content that offers more gameplay is something I can accept, but cosmetic adornments? Nah, those should be free.

What in-game frontier store? Last I checked it just opened a browser. Are you sure you are looking at the same currency when comparing?

theres one that you have to link your steam with, that opens from in game. they other is the frontier store on the browser.

oh, I don't have the first one. Not sure how you get to it. The only way for me to get to a store in-game is when I go to the livery and click on something I don't have, then it just opens a browser (pretty sure, but can't check atm).

this is the main site, and the cheaper one. Not affiliated with steam.

looks like it yes.

hmm, i don't have it on steam, so makes sense i guess that it wouldn't send me off to a steam link.

Did you choose the same currency on both stores?

[Agony_Aunt]

I get the same prices on both.
