Question regarding Steam promotion

steamx

I hope this is the right place to ask a few questions which have to do with NS2 marketing.

1) Even though NS2 is still in a beta state will there be early guest passes available via Steam or <i>when it's done</i>?
2) Is there a plan for another special offer like the Organic Bundle, which i totally missed, in the near future?

I guess that's already all i wanted to know.

I don't think that it's very commercial to say in advance when there's going to be another promotion. It would probably slow down sales until that day...
And the Organic Bundle was the one with Overgrowth right? I don't think that kind of promo will be remade one day neither, I think it was more a gift than a promo, to thank all the early custommers who have helped finnancing the game... But who knows !

I'd say if you want the game, buy it. Never wait around for a "maybe deal".

I agree with Thaldarin that if you are planning on getting the game, you may as well get it now and participate in the beta.

I can't agree with the "maybe" deal for all scenarios, though. It probably won't happen anytime soon in this case -- but I've purchased a game and some DLC for near full price and a couple of months later (which I could have waited) it went on sale during a midweek madness on Steam. It was something like 80% off.

Perhaps there might be a small percentage off from the original price prior to release (that seems to be a pretty common thing lately). I wouldn't hold out for any extras. I feel that the current offer will stay what it is for quite some time.
