HOLY **** THAT IS AWESOME

On steam you guys said this will be free? How are you guys releasing this for free? Is the game still selling? Are you guys staying afloat just fine?

Seriously, this is so generous I'm worried about you guys

Well from what the devs already mentioned, moving forward with a single version of the game will be much easier to support vs. several different versions which would come up with say two DLC releases (ie standard version with no DLC, one with all DLC, one with DLC A but not B, one with DLC B but not A).

The upshot is that the added free content should lead to increased sales and win over at least some of the fence-sitters who haven't yet made the plunge for Cold Waters. Some companies could learn a thing or two from how Killer Fish Games operate and I think that most of the success this game has had comes from sound decisions on their part.

Looks like some good stuff.

I'll admit, I was hoping you guys would fill out the earlier periods, adding Barbel and Skate classes, as well as friendly and allied surface ships and subs. But heck, I'll take this and happily!

Will we see Soviet/Russian warships in the SCS campaign? Seems a bit unfair to be rampaging around in the SCS in a Seawolf with only the fairly obsolescent PLA navy to contend with.

"On steam you guys said this will be free? How are you guys releasing this for free?"

There is a difference between "free" and no additional charge.
As has been proven many times over the years, new features and refinements to an existing game generates new sales. DLC is not the only way or always the best way to generate income.

I too had this question. It might be an idea to drop the cost of the steam game say $10 and then make this a $10 add on. That way it entices newcomers and still generates a profit from DLC. I understand the simplicity of a single game to maintain, but other companies manage DLCs just fine.

I want companies like KFG to make good money on these games because it is a niche market and it's good for us for companies to want to make these games.

Just my $0.02.
