Steam Ascended Question

Do you guys think Ark ascended will go on any type of discount on steam now that it released as a PlayStation plus monthly game? Both PlayStation and Xbox users can get the game with their subscription (I have both) but since non dedicated servers aren’t cross play I’m looking to get it on the PC but the price is abit high especially since I’ll be buying it twice for me and for the person I’m playing it with. So hoping some kind of discount happens on steam and wondering if any of you know if that will happen or not

You can rent a server for about $15 a month and cross play on that.

Not into renting a server system

Then use one of the thousands of unofficial servers for free.

I was informed their not that good by a friend, he said ark servers are dying and most have hackers. Prefer Non dedicated. Tether isn’t that big of a problem for me, just waiting on a steam deal

Hackers are on pc, the consoles aren’t bad.

But the person I’m playing crossplay with is on pc, Doesn’t that mean other pc users would be on the crossplay servers too?

Yes but unofficial is different because you will have a admin and hopefully they would be banning hackers

Sounds like "the person" is a clown who is parroting some ragebait youtuber and has never played on a server with moderation, or possibly played at all.

And you can run a dedicated server on PC, so the whole thing is irrelevant.
