I'm excited that the DLC is so well priced. I realize it's only two maps, but still $4 for the entire DLC put together is a great price considering the amount of hours of gameplay you can get out of it.

Thanks for being kind to those who love your game Hidden Path.

$0.99 in other games only buys me avatars and clothing! What is this madness!

Hmm...the map pack shows up if I search for it, but shouldn't there also be a link to purchase it from the Defense Grid main store page? Or at least a link to it...right now it's mentioned on the DG store page but the only way to get to it from there is to search for it.

Also, no chance of buying all 8 maps in one purchase, and then simply downloading them when they become available? Four separate purchases seems like a lot of unnecessary credit card transactions for all involved...

Yes, I hope they will make pre-purchase option for $4 for whole map pack. I think this is not so difficult?

You need to put it in context. Don't forget that the entire game is only $10 and many people probably got it for $5.

But, forget about context, talk about the actual value the game has to you personally as a player. I find it's worth much more than $5. After having bought it for $5 I find that I should have bought it a long time ago when it was $20. So, all in all, the value of $4 for 8 more maps is easily acceptable to my standard.

It's all about how much personal value it brings to you, forget the actual value of $4.

If I go to the game page from the main steam store which advertise the map pack, I see I can only buy one map pack - that is map pack 1

But if I go to the original game page - that is the one selling the DG game itself, down there I see I can add all the 4 map packs to cart...

i.e. You only can buy 1 map pack if you visit the page for the resurgence but you will be able to buy the whole set of resurgence maps if you visit the DG game page. That is odd.

Yeah - you can buy them, but they don't unlock until the date specified (i.e. June 9th for pack 2). Keeps the pre-purchase folks happy while still keeping the release exciting for everyone. Best of all worlds.

For those who aren't sure how to buy the DLC...

- Right click on your Steam client, and click Library.
- Click on "Defense Grid: The Awakening" in your games list, then on the right side under "LINKS" click on "DLC".

Or just click on this link...

http://store.steampowered.com/dlc/18500/

To buy all of them at once, click the "ADD ALL DLC TO CART" button at the top on the right side.

Many people, like myself, also bought it for $20 in the year before the price cut.

So it's very well priced in my opinion.

Yes you have to wait a week for each set of new maps.
