BA expansions on iPad

[Hawkeyeted]

I've finally sorted out registering my BA core and expansions between my Mac and PC (via Steam). Now my question is, does that also entitle me to unlock the same associated expansions on the iPad, or do they have to be unlocked via separate purchase via the iTunes App Store?

Thanks in advance for the assist.

Sorry but no, Apple prohibit anything like this and there is no system to do it.

What about the other way around? I've purchase BA on my iPad, then I purchased a few of the $10 scenarios, then the $30 sale pack for all the expansions, so Ive already paid $80-90 for the game and wouldnt want to pay that again for the PC. Thing is the only thing I need the PC version for is scenario design. I REALLY want to be able to design scenarios.... Anyway, I figured I'd ask if us IPad owners had a way to get the PC version at less than full price. Thanks!

Sorry no, again this is banned by Apple. You cannot offer any incentives and this would be see as an incentive used to manipulate rankings etc. We also have no way to validate it as we get no info about who bought from Apple, so even if they didn't ban it there wouldn't actually be a way to do it!

Damn... Owell, thanks for the answer tho.

As an aside, I used to be a fan of apple, but today they really are every bit as insanely controlling and manipulative as Microsoft was at it's height. I'm glad you guys make stuff for the iPad, but I'd hate to have to do business with them. It must suck....
