Whatever happened to instant gratification? Why isn't this software downloadable? I decided not to purchase, sorry.

it is downloadable, the model packs are digital, and the only snailmailed part is FPSC and you can download that too. just put in your key.

I just bought it today and have it already.

This. Same with Dark Game Studio, I've got a disk copy, yet when I ordered it I could download everything. All your product keys are stored in your account, so really you don't have to wait for anything. Hope that helps.

If you had a bald patch I could kiss it. If you do, well you might want to issue a restraining order.

Is the fire sale a scam? Do you get everything for the $20? I might get it.. but I want to know why they are practically giving it away!

Because TGC are crazy? I've never known TGC to try and scam anybody, I got the Dark Game Studio bonanza and it had everything in it that it advertised with no cache and with that you're saving about £300 off of the usual prices.

My guess is that it's just marketing - give people stuff for free and they might spend money, not only that, but if you buy own one TGC product you might find yourself buying another - for example, if you buy FPSC, TGC still make model packs for it, so any you're missing, you might in the future be tempted to buy them.

[Edit]
Also, TGC are kind of loyal to their customers, who knows, it could be the Christmas spirit of giving has reached the business sector?

Yet, you still can download the product, so you're getting digital AND physical copies...it's mind boggling.

Of course it isn't. Don't be silly.

It's a pack of TGC products being sold on the TGC site to regular TGC customers.

The plan is probably that it'll lead to you buying more TGC goodies (expansion packs, model packs, other utilities etc).

I already answered your question.

TGC do this sort of thing, I got Dark Game Studio Bonanza, which is 90% off of the RRP, saving me around £300. I got EVERYTHING they advertised. There's no way I would pay over £300 on TGC products because I'm a hobbyist - I might pay £300 over a long period though, but after buying Dark Game Studio Bonanza I also bought Dark Data, which wasn't included in the bonanza. So one purchase led onto another.

Also, £12.99 for FPSC and several model packs, well I don't use FPSC, but I might actually go on ahead and buy it.



[edit]
Just ordered it. It's the weekend, so it might not dispatch until Monday.

Gruff... and of course I already own everything I might need from that package except for maybe a few model packs (which I don't need anyway)

Also, if this helps. TGC processed my order for this today, after they dispatched my snail mailed version of FPSC they emailed me the activation code and I downloaded the digital version of FPSC from my account. I've got all the model packs advertised and the 3 games. I also got DBP, but I already had a copy anyway. I am now happily playing around with FPSC, it's the full version, I paid the amount advertised and I'm not scammed in anyway. But also, I downloaded everything, all digital copies.

The only thing to note about TGC is that they tend not to be in on the weekends, so as I ordered mine on Saturday I had to wait until today for them to deal with the order. Which is fair enough given they're just a small group of people and whoever deals with the orders probably deserves their days off.

Hopefully that'll satisfy those without patience and those sceptical of the deal.

The deal is great, I'm still wading through my massive new injection of models. I tend to use them in DBPRO. However, FPSC is great to place them all in an environment and see them in action. my doodle game is a fun and funny toy to play with.

This is an amazing deal and well worth getting. You cant even get most of the individual model packs for that price.

Thankyou TGC
