Launcher says 25% discount in Steam Store but there isnt

[Morbeous]

Ok I have recovered my account and loaded the game for the first time in a while. The launcher says there is a 25% discount in the steam store but when I click on the link to take me there there is no discount. The game is showing at £30.99!!

The discount expired on Steam yesterday...it was a one week special.

Sorry, we forgot to update the blurb in there when the deal expired. (Incidentally we'd have run a longer launch discount, but Steam has a one-size-fits-all program for them and we could only get a week.)

Will you run another discount? I feel £30.99 is a bit too much to pay sorry. However I was prepared to buy with the 25% discount. How much longer will my Alpha Launcher work?

The standalone launcher has about another week before it will be deactivated. As far as running another discount, it's a possibility in the future but there are no plans on when that will be. Steam also dictates our flexibility in that area, unfortunately. We would recommend keeping an eye on our social media pages for any future discount announcements (we post important information there, such as a 'heads up' that the discount was ending).

Ok will keep an eye on Facebook and have wishlisted the game on Steam also

Steam ad at login says the discount is good for 2 weeks, but Steam raised the price after just one week.

The Steam 'Ad' in the standalone launcher says that the discount is good for the launch week. It doesn't say (2) weeks. That said, Steam dictates the length of the sale. There may be another sale in the future, but there's nothing currently planned.

Ahha - I found a location that still mentioned the discount! During the transition period, we have different, sometimes overlapping, messages depending on how you log in to make sure we're getting information to the right people. This message was technically accurate (the best kind!), but the wording was pretty confusing - so I've changed it.

As an aside: I was really surprised by how restrictive Steam is about sales or discounts.

My apologies. I misread the launcher info. I thought the 2 week transition period also applied to the discount.
