Ofcourse for consumers this is not true in the old retail days BASE prices would drop over time from 52 euro at release for game and 26 euro at release for a dlc to a gold edition containing it all for 3 euro. Neither of those warrant a discount in the eyes of the devs as they see discounts as promitions to boost sales and they do not want anyone being tempted to buy this instead of DE. *if your hardware is really REALLY old the DE version might not run. it is harder to see items like goldmines and relics on that map compared to this version. *1 you may not like the DE more natural coloursceme. They clearly don't want anyone still buying this.Īnd quite frankly there is no reason people should want too.
Age of empires ii hd sale update#
Update like that 4k suppport and automated reseeding of farms, but also later balancing of civs with nerfs and buffs and even the abitity to buy future dlc was on purpose never added to this version. so it was mostly scamming the people already owning all DLC for this versionnow forced to fork out money again for something they already owned.įor all others the switch to DE was effectively a discount on this versions DLC. buying DE was as cheap as buying 1 normally priced DLC.

Given how DE was at 50% discount for all HD owners. It is unlkely to ever get sales ever again.īasicly what they did was bundle the 3 dlc into the main game to make a minor 4k patch into a new sellable product.

Even when all age of empires games were for sale this one was not. They dropped discounts for this game when DE released.
