only 10%?

The people that develop the game unfortunately actually need to eat to push out updates and fixes. Not even a mass sale could sustain that when the discount is somewhere at 70% like some people seem to suggest.

We wanted to give you the possibility to get the game a bit cheaper and participate in the World Environment Day sale specifically. It's very likely you won't see any other sales in the forseeable future, especially no bigger ones.

So if you are tempted to get it, now is the best time to get it. If it's too low of a discount for you, that's fine, but it won't get better any time soon.

Its not even a sale though, you can get it cheaper on the slg site with a 2 pack.

You are telling me I should be gracious you aren't charging $100?

The possibility to get it cheaper on the SLG site is there since years and logical, because we promote collaboration - buying a multipack for friends (and the 4 pack lets you save even more money!) is and has ever been a great way to save money. We would also have done this for steam - but unfortunately Steam does no longer support Multipacks for games since quite some time. Only games that had the packs before Steam dropped support for it, could keep them. Buying multiple games at once is something that is typical to give a discount for multiple buys and has nothing to do with buying a single game - so it indeed is a sale.

And no, i'm not telling you that, nor do i have the slightest idea how you come to that thought. We have never done sales before, communicated we don't plan to do them, and don't plan to have any more sales until the end of early access either.

We did this sale to specifically take part in the World Environment Day as Steam sends a share of sales to charitable organisations, which could be another reason for people to buy it now - getting it a bit cheaper and doing something good.

Couldn't you give out an additional key as a DLC? Then you give the activation key to your friend and he activates the game.

Or does Steam not allow that?

Haha, that's a nice idea we haven't thought of actually. I doubt they'll allow that, but i'll have a look.
