X4: FOUNDATIONS - Release date, prices and more

[the ginga ninja]

Also if people are buying from egosoft they think there supporting egosoft more but if it's the same price as steam and it is a steam key then I'm not sure the differences are as steam will still be taking their 30% cut as it's a steam key. So egosoft arnt really making any extra money are they?

That's not quite how it works. Buying from the Egosoft shop is still the best way to support Egosoft. The choice is yours where you buy from, though, of course.

If I purchase from the Egosoft shop, do I get a Steam key so that I can activate the game there? I love having all my games on Steam, but want to support Egosoft as much as possible.

Thanks. I answered my own question by actually visiting the Egosoft Shop. My bad.

I probably shouldn't be getting hyped after Rebirth, I just really hope this is a true X4 and not Rebirth 2

who made the music for X4? Again Alexei?

[Combat Wombat]

I will order through egosoft's website instead of steam if they will let me pay in US dollars instead of euros...

Yep, the conversion rate hurts enough but then I am paying a fee for buying in a foreign currency on my credit card too :/ least they could do it put it up for $86-87


Edit:

oooo yeah bebe

[mr.WHO]

That's why I'm wating for steam - steam has conversion rates based on USD, so it's better for me to convert USD to PLN than EUR to PLN that Egosoft shop show me.

Yes.

[lordgeryon]

No discount for Rebirth owners. :<

Do we get all the goodies when we preorder it on Steam?

[surferx]

Just ordered the Collector's Edition on Steam.

[spacecoyote99]

Here we go bby! Collectors edition, ready for that Boron DLC!

[Skeeter]

No discount for Rebirth owners. :<

Bit like for all football manager games where if you have one previous game you get a discount for the new one, if u had 2 or 3 u get a bigger discount etc. So for those that have all previous x games we should get a 20 pound discount lol.

[exogenesis]

Great news, congrats on the release date, can't wait...

btw gotta love the terms & conditions written only in German,
with an English header saying "It is your own responsibility to get an understanding of this contract"
not that it woud change anything whatever it said

€74.39 EUR for 'collecters edition' seems OK (£68.86), given the discounted further two DLC extensions to come...

Just wondering if I should have pre-ordered just the main game, so that ES would get the full revenue,
but I guess I want it all ASAP.

[aressler38]

I've preordered too. Does anyone know if X4 supports VR, or will there be a "VR edition?"

[Mavo Pi]

I ordered the collectors edition from the egosoft shop. Does anybody know how long it takes until I receive the key for steam? I ordered half an hour ago and did not receive anything yet except of the paypal confirmation.

[Alan Phipps]

@ aressler38: There is a current and active thread with dev replies on X4 VR etc

[shea]

No discount for Rebirth owners. :<

I was wondering about this also

[Skeeter]

Actually there should be a discount if you own rebirth as im sure a dev said it either on a stream once or video or maybe on forums. Bernd probably said it.
