Gargamel Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 If you folks haven’t seen the KSP Sale thread: Epic is offering KSP for free right now. It’s a good way to get yourself, a friend, family member, etc a copy. I can vouch for the site, as in I have probably 75 free (some AAA) games from there, without ever giving them a dime or personal info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerodynamic Kerbal Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) I have one question: Are the expansions going to be included or should I buy them? If so, from where? Because I don't think the game would be linked to Steam. Edited December 31, 2022 by Aerodynamic Kerbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually these sales are determined by Epic, probably without input from the studio (That is steams model at least), so PD probably won’t have any info on future sales. I would guess giving away a game for free that has some DLC’s is a way to increase the sales of the DLC, so I would assume we’ll never see the DLC’s on (drastic) sale.

The Aziz Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 In theory you could just buy dlcs through KSP store (if you can without owning the game there in the first place, I don't know) and paste the files into the game directory. I used to do that with GOG, before I bought the dlcs on steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerodynamic Kerbal Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Ok, this question might be stupid, but: Is the game going to be playable until the 13th, OR is it going to be downloadable until then?

I know what you mean. Steam have some game promotions where a person can play a game for a limited time. In the case of Epic games they release free games on a regular basis which the player gets to keep forever. Get KSP1 via Epic between the 6th and 13th and you get it for free forever via the Epic App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get KSP1 via Epic between the 6th and 13th and you get it for free forever via the Epic App. Even if it was free, it's not worth downloading. Stock, it's a half-complete mess. Try to patch something playable together with mods, well, how do you think 70 mods written by loads of different novices will run? KSP has nearly bricked this thing twice now, and you know what, I'm not launching it again because this game always seems to bring pain whenever I try doing stuff with the elaborate missions I plan. I spent all of yesterday and today planning a large mothership, and now all it's good for is crashing the entire system thanks to KSP's terrible RAM management. It's good Squad is no longer updating it now; the threat of working on this monstrously pile of messy code and half-baked (sometimes outright missing) mechanics for another decade no longer looms over the staff. KSP won't even be good as a trial for KSP 2. Save yourself the pain of ever going near this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person playing KSP for a month or two will probably experience less bugs than us veterans because they are making simple crafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
