  📢 An Update on GMS: Definitive Edition & New Discount Rules

  Hello Everyone, 👋Recently, we announced our plans for the release of Gold Mining Simulator: Definitive Edition and the discount structure for our existing players. We’ve been closely following your comments and discussions. 💬 While some of you were excited about the direction we are heading, we also received a significant wave of criticism and dissatisfaction.We still deeply believe that creating the Definitive Edition is the right and best decision for the future of the game. 🚀 It gives us entirely new technological possibilities and allows us to expand the title in ways that would be impossible on the old base game. However, we cannot and will not ignore the voice of our community, even when the criticism is harsh. 👂Many of you have been with this franchise from the very beginning, even before our new team took over the studio. Your support over the years demands our full respect and concrete actions, not just empty words. 🤝💸 What is changing with the discounts?❌ No more full DLC collection requirement: You do not need to own the Collector's Edition or the complete set of all 4 DLCs to receive the highest discount.✅ The base game is enough: Anyone who owns just the base version of Gold Mining Simulator 1 will receive the full 90% discount on GMS: Definitive Edition! 🎉⏳ Offer Duration (Pre-Order + Post-Launch)There have been many questions about whether the 90% loyalty discount will be available on your accounts forever. The answer is no. Due to Steam's limitations, we were unable to negotiate a permanent, indefinite loyalty discount. 🛑After careful consultation with Steam we decided to make a significant change. To give you as much time as possible to use this option, we have planned it as follows:🛒 Pre-Order Period: The 90% discount for GMS1 owners will be active throughout the entire pre-order phase.📅 Post-Launch Period: We perfectly understand that many of you don't want to pre-order blindly. Because of this, the 90% discount will remain active for 14 days afte...

  Answering questions! – Why, What & How! - GMS: Definitive Edition

  We've been reading your comments and discussions, and we understand the frustration and confusion regarding why Gold Mining Simulator: Definitive Edition is a separate release rather than a standard update. We want to be completely transparent with you about how and why we made this decision. ❓ Why is it a separate game? It all comes down to hardware and keeping the game playable for everyone.For years, the biggest complaint has been the annoying freezes while driving across the map.
