Now is time for Bonus Ride Collection DLC

Really no, I'm responding to your idea of waiting until the 5-year anniversary.
we have already explained to you why we feel that way. And you clearly dont want to understand our point of view, which is ok. But then atleast stop running around in circles trying to deny our opinion and forcing your onto us. Just leave it be, dont respond to us anymore. Nobody forcing you

You just replied to the wrong context quotation...

The 5 year idea is my suggestion to keep the bonus valid as a bonus AND to make it available for others...

Why can't you guys accept that the bonus rides were a limited offer from Frontier for pre-orders, only?

It's not said that there won't be a similar offer in the future.

Just saying that Frontier has to make it available now because you missed their offer, isn't worth typing it.

You might be able to profit of any future offer, too. And there's nothing unfair for anybody!

(This doesn’t excuse wrong workshop notifications)
 
Maybe it is time for people to grow up, accept that life is not fair and you will not always get it your way. This is as black and white as it gets. The DLC was a PRE-order bonus only. It was never advertised or implied that it would be later released to everyone (to purchase of for free doesn't matter).

You can keep banging your head against the wall all day long, it won't make a difference. Use the energy to something productive instead, take a walk. If you don't like the game because if doesn't came with something that you did not buy, maybe it is time to play a different game.
 
It's interesting topic , so many opinions ..... I think it's kinda silly but to each their own. It said Pre-order bonus not pre order exclusive, who cares if its available now especially if available as a small DLC like $5.99 US or if you want to go higher like $9.99. If it was offered for free in less than a year i could see an issue. . If you bought the pre-order you had exclusive use for 7 or 8 months now plus it was free Why would anybody care if it was available now at a price? .With the rocky start PC2 had why not try to gain as many customers as possible why discourage new players? You know there are tons of new players or players that may have not known about the pre-order, its not like game was announced a year in advance. Many new customers may say ehh if I can't get it all I'm not gonna bother. Why would frontier turn down any type of extra revenue stream? But I could see the other point of view , but I'm not wired that way. An example would be say a product shows up on store shelves and its a package deal with some cool extras included maybe gear or branded items but its a premium price right now because it's new and production is low, you gotta have it now so you purchase. Six months later you find out your neighbor just bought that same item on sale at a lower price and all that extra same stuff he bought online . Are you gonna be mad that he has the same thing ..... No your gonna be happy you got it when you did because you had time to enjoy it for 6 months. And waiting 5 years? is that read not sure sorry if not , at that point don't even bother. I thought if I remember Zoo came out with the pre-order stuff in the 10th month or maybe it was a year or so I thought.

The problem about thinking that way is that it wasn't announced either, that you would be able to get those bonus items later (paid or free) and that we hadn't any real advantage of it (except to own it) because of that many issues, which most of them got fixed over months later... So we hadn't advantage of owning it for the last half year!

And for all new players: EARLY BIRD!
If all new players might be able to get these rides in a year or 5 , paid or for free... What's your problem with keeping it exclusive longer than a half year?

why should we be punsihed because frontier made this absolutely bad decision of locking base game content behind a preorder bonus? basically your whole text sums up the whole point we all agree on: rides and such important part of the game should never have been put into a preorder bonus set.
now why should the people who preordered only for this reason get punished by taking that exclusive content away so shortly after release? yes we had the content for quite some time now, on the other hand many other players got 5 sales of the game, the deluxe package and its dlc in the meantime.
and your are correct, nowhere does it say the preorder bonus is exclusive. but as is literally not included in the standard game, it makes that content "exclusive" you know. its pretty self explanatory.
and its funny cause you claim its ok to release it 10 months after the games release but 5 years is to much. so we can clearly say the problem you have with this is the duration it takes to make it available for others. so on one hand you expect your opinion to be respected because you want it now, on the other hand you say its "silly" by other because they say give it to others after 5 years... doesnt realy make sense does it?

anyway, i think we all agree this kind of content should never have been made a preorder bonus. and we all agree that it can and should be made available to all. the only debating point is the "when" and i think that comes down to personal preference and opinion, which differs from person to person. no need in fighting and keeping running around in circles only to come back to this exact verdict that we already pinpointed like 20 posts ago...
 
As a relatively new player who purchased Planet Coaster 2 after the pre-order period, I'm left with a mixed impression. While the core gameplay and creative possibilities are strong, the overall experience feels significantly incomplete.
A major point of frustration is the "Bonus Rides Collection" (including the Outamax Water Coaster) that the game frequently prompts me to "buy," only to find it's a pre-order exclusive and not available for purchase. This is highly misleading and frustrating, as it implies content is missing that I simply cannot acquire.
This situation also negatively impacts the community. Downloading fantastic user-created parks from the Workshop often results in broken or unusable content because a significant portion of players (those who didn't pre-order) simply lack access to these specific rides. It fragments the community and hinders the sharing experience that is so crucial to Planet Coaster.
It's disappointing to buy what I expected to be a complete game (especially a "premium" edition) only to discover core content is locked behind a pre-order wall with no clear path to acquisition. I truly hope Frontier reconsiders this approach and makes this content available in the future, as the current situation makes the game feel unnecessarily incomplete and frustrating for many pla
yers.
I agree with you completely and the other guys arguing with you just don’t get it, ok so he is one for you I orginally pre ordered the game on the console as I needed a pc and thought about it for months in the end I brought it on console and realising it’s just not good on console so I ordered a new pc and brought the game again this time sadly without the bonus rides pack, now surely if you have pre ordered it once and got the items there should be a way to transfer it over as I’ve now missed out coz I had to buy it again and that is not fair

If these 3 rides were released tomorrow on a paid DLC ,how exactly are people that pre-ordered being punished? I wouldn't feel that way. It's been how many months ? How does it effect you in anyway that it would now be available to purchase? you got these for free it did not cost you extra money, but you did pay premium for the game the same price that someone paid for the day after it released but you were compensated with bonus rides .... And yes I think its silly to keep content away from other players 8, 9 months is not a short time, 5 years is ridiculous PC1 had a run of what 3 years or less?, yes many played way after including me , but with no new DLC's people drop off , hopefully we will have years and years of new content for PC2.. . As far "petty" i think its petty to say i have these rides for a game and i don't want anyone else to purchase because i want to feel maybe "special" or compensated for pre ordering 9 months ago...Ok I maybe could see your point if it was offered free but even that wouldn't bother me.. to each their own i guess ... I would rather see what other people could do with these rides in parks on YouTube or TikTok or in the workshop. Anything that can bring in new players , get people to play again or generate new income for frontier I'm all for it cause that means more stuff down the road hopefully. It's not like this is a competition game or strategy game with accumulative points or something where you can get an edge with online play, its a park simulation that's heavy on community sharing and collaborating. PC2 finally now has the capability to have dark rides correctly shown , that was one of the biggest requests for the new game and here we have a ride that is really only used as a indoor dark ride and its locked. Its really not worth arguing because it's out of our hands anyhow and when frontier is ready they will deicide , but if i can help push them in the right direction then here's my vote

Well said mate
 
Do we have any movement on this? Are we going to get the ability to buy the extra rides that I'm being penalised for not going back in time and buying when the games was completely broken on launch? Or will I have the extra rides in the list forever? What a truly terrible company.
 
Nothing new.
You guys were just too late (for now) and you have to accept it!

Any advantage (except having it included in the standard price) of having it since release is not really existing, because the game is reaching a nearly fully developed stage just this summer...
I'm pretty sure that it will be available to all players one day, maybe even for free (then you can put your nonsense point into a bin).

But like we already stated several times, you had an amount of sales for the game and can't discuss about advantages related to having those rides for free if the game was preordered.

It was a bad decision by Frontier to do so...

If they would have said that it would be free when preordering the game and those rides would be available for purchase when the game was released, then everything would be clear and ok.

I think that It's a complete different thing for players who did preordered the game on one platform, kept the game and bought it on a second platform, too. They should be able to use it. In general they should be able to use all bought dlcs on both platforms (maybe for a small cross-platform fee).

Exactly my point coz that is what happened to me
 
I'd say those pre-order rides might become available to all players in a free update to be released around Planet Coaster 2's 1st anniversary in November.
