chris maker Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi guys, does anyone know if there are any plans to update the age of sigmar app to include points costs etc from the generals handbook, thanks in advance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmimzie Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 They do include the GH points. But you have to buy something like $15 to enable that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 And some models don't have their points yet. I think it's the ones you can't buy unless in a pack, the book has all the points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I believe you have to buy the digital book through the app to see the points values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yup you do, I know because I bought the eBook version alongside my physical copy so I have the physical for games, and the eBook for reference at work when I'm sitting waiting for servers to rebuild...

Darin Paul Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I bought the gh through the app and only see the points in the book. Is there a way to see point values when you add units? I tried to restore purchases but it had no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleboda Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 GW has been so full of win lately that it's actually surprising to think that people who bought the physical product have to pay again for the same content to see it digitally. C'mon GW, you're sooooo close to erasing years of resentment from your customers...take the leap...figure out how to add the digital content to the app when we buy the books!

Darin Paul Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Digital download included with physical books needs to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darin Paul Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I don't see this gutting GW. Buying all of the limited run items ensures the inventory is all sold. I'd agree that the fans might be getting screwed but they could limit x per household. Just seal the book and place a one time code for app download. It wasn't long ago digital GW book even existed. I'd say anything is possible with this new direction they are headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris maker Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I kind of thought id have to buy the digital version to get the points on the app, just wanted to make sure o wasnt missing something before I pay for it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention every PC video game you buy these days. Unique download keys are quite common these days. I'm not sure what the technological and cash investments are like to enable something of that sort, but the process is absolutely available.

Arkiham Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 So, I buy the book and sell the digital content. Or the other way around. Doesn't solve the problem. Pc games are different, you still need the access code to play it, the cd is worthless as you can't access the content unless you have the code or crack the cd.

Sleboda Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 If their pricing and business model take this into account, it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it, because I'm not one to normally complain about GW pricing... But with the cost of their books, this is surely not an issue. Not to mention that e books cost a small fraction of what they tend to charge for them. Not to mention, if one was of a mind to do it, I'm sure many of their books are pirated on torrent sites anyway. It's not a matter of piracy, or even me and a buddy teaming up to buy a book, and then him taking the digital, while I keep the print. It's a matter of good customer service. I personally believe in paying for goods and services, and I prefer print to digital. However, I find digital convenient at work, or while traveling. I'm going to buy the print version of any book I've decided I'm willing to pay for. And will likely never purchase a digital version of one of their books, if for no other reason than I will not pay for the same thing twice. But, if you package them together, you are telling your customer that you care about them, and that you are more concerned with making their gaming experience the best in can be, that nets you loyalty, and distinction in the gaming community. Those things can't be paid for, but cost almost nothing, since again, once you produce an ebook, distributing as many copies as you want carries no additional cost. (Other than hosting costs.) Hell, you could offer a second purchase option on the hard copies, i.e., text without digital key X dollars, with digital key X dollars + 5 or 10 bucks, and I'd pay the extra cash and think I got a deal. And GW side it's pure profit, since every purchase is only balanced against the cost of the putting the book in digital format, and hosting costs.

Sleboda Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Mecha, you and I are in lock step on this, including our purchase habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Paul Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I agree as well. Building pay walls generally pushes people to go around them. The music industry learned this the hard way. There needs to be a happy medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
