There's no set date yet, but probably before the end of this year. However, anyone who purchases directly from our store will get a free Steam key (redeemable through our Members Area / My Page) when it is released on Steam.

I always prefer to buy from you direct in most cases and then activate on Steam later. cuts out the middleman.

Any point in holding onto War in the East 1 and its DLC? I'm just wondering who is deleting the older game, or if it has any value still in terms of picking it up and playing after War in the East II.

I sent in a support ticket. I prepaid but don't see it available for download in members section.

Case closed. I was looking for it in same section as War in the West. When I went back a a few pages I saw it listed as Gary Grisgbys War in the East 2. I own so many games I have many pages in members section.

How long does the 10% run for? I am deciding on a purchase but might need a few days to decide.

First thing that comes to mind is if you are worried about any early patches screwing up PBEM games. Second thing that comes to mind is the larger number of scenarios. I think WitE2 has all the vanilla scenarios from the first game, but not all the expansion scenarios.

Other than that, it seems to be an improvement in every way. I've deleted WitE1 from my drive.

Until April 25th, one month from release.

Thank you for the quick response Erik.
I actually had an old (from 2016) 28% off coupon for my anniversary on these forums.
Using that actually stacked with the 10% off which I was not expecting to work.
So for a brand new game, 38% off is not bad! My state has one of the highest (if not the highest) sales tax in the US, so really it was more like 28% off.

Will this be released on Steam in the near future?

Not in the near future, but likely by the end of this year. However, any purchase through our store will receive a free Steam key once it is released on Steam, redeemable in the Members Area / My Page on our site.

So happy it's out! Already downloading [:)]

Aside from the 10%, is there a discount for owners of the original WITE? My apologies is this has been addressed elsewhere.

[Erik Rutins]

No, the 10% launch discount is the only discount we plan to offer.

Thx for the quick response.

Quick Review in return

Good buy IFyou don't already own the original WITE, otherwise similar to Paradox game remakes and more pricey, (but at least they didn't dumb down the game play like Paradox has done in their recent remakes.) Game mechanics pretty much the same as the original WITE with a few internal alterations, even the graphics appear to only be slightly altered from the original WITE. (They could have at least brought the graphics up to match the well known graphics mod for the original WITE.) As an owner of the original WITE, I'm gonna pass on this unless they offer a substantial discount (50% or more) for owning the previous version.

[jacktimes2]

I don't even know where to begin with that one, but "Game mechanics pretty much the same" is admittedly where I started to tune out. WiTW's logistics system ruined WiTE for me. Haven't been able to enjoy a game of it since. To each their own, I suppose.
