No. 4 on Steam top sellers. Really not much competition. The thing to look out for is whether X4 will get "mostly positive" reviews then have a sale at Christmas.
Or if it will fall victim to review bombing from people still disgruntled over Rebirth, or people who try to run it on their machines that still use WIndows 98...

A sale in 3 weeks time from release? Don't count on it LOL

I have the CE I'm not counting on it.

It looked like they left everything to the last moment to keep the hype low after XR, but if the game performs well they should capitalize on it during the winter holiday season.

We all want X5 after all. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Capitalising on it would certainly NOT mean putting it on a sale after less than a month of being released.

Now we're going to see "X5 CONFIRMED! HYPE!" videos on YouTube.

Yes it does.... Most sales will be finished within the first week past launch.

Need heavy marketing and a 10% sale on it for Christmas when buying willingness increases again. The "-%" sign does weird things to people's brain.

That's basic supply and demand....

Ofc only if the game get's the positive thumbs up and get's recommended by steam.

And how do you think it would make all the customers who are buying it tomorrow feel when 3 weeks later it would be on even as low as a 10% deal? Doesn't make sense at all and won't happen. This is their "Christmas" release, we are 1 day away from December you know :)

They will pay 5 bucks more for playing the game a month earlier....

On Steam the Releascontdown for the Collector's Edition is ~4 hours shorter than the countdown for the standard Edition... :/

Is that true? Will the owners of the Collector's Edition have hours to play first while the others have to wait?! If yes.. why wouldn't that advertised:/

No, that's just an accidental mismatch. Neither timer has any significance as far as the actual time of release is concerned. So far all we know is that it won't be before 14:00 UTC, but when exactly after that it happens is still subject to a final decision.

Guys, let Ego fix last minute issues from Stremer feedbacks... After waiting a year for 7Days alpha patch, a few days here for a perfect launch is really nothing. :)

Ich habe am 8. November meine Collectorsedition gekauft.
Paypal hat dies bestätigt.
Es gab von Egosoft weder eine Bestätigungsmail, ein Paket oder auch nur annähernd irgend eine Info.

Wie geht es nun weiter?

You should have received it by mail straight away. Please check your spam box, and if it's definitely not there then contact the egosoft shop by email with details of your order.

Bitte wende Dich dich direkt an Egosoft via email. Höchstwahrscheinlich ist die email mit deinem steam key im spam Filter deines emailprogramms/Providers hängengeblieben oder Dein Antivirenprogramm hats geblockt. Egosoft wird das schnellstmöglich lösen, dazu müssen Sie aber von Dir die Daten bekommen - deshalb per mail.
