Hi Silverfairy27,

Platinum isnot Premium
We FunPass members can still play all the Standard Editions and all the Premium Editions. Platinum is something GH has introduced new and it's not available for free play through FunPass. GH provides us with a Standard Edition from each Platinum, so we can play them. As you see at the screenshot below Sacra Terra is not a Premium Edition, it's a Platinum. I have marked how you can access the games and here you can see exactly what it is.



# 1 Click on Games, # 2 Click on PC Games and # 3 Click on the download button, when you have chosen the game.

Price: I have checked the price of this game as Platinum: It states Retail $ 19.99 and for Members $ 13.99. So as FunPass Member we pay $ 13.99 / Platinum game, if we want to purchase it.

Cheers
Lagoona
P.S. You can again. You get to play Sacra Terra - Angelic Night. I played it and the game is long and beautiful, loved it!!!

Hi Silverfairy, yes I'm afraid you have to keep a sharp eye out now for 'Platinum' and 'Premium' - 'Platinum' we can't play with Funpass, we have to buy (but at the members' discount price), 'Premium' we're still ok with.. there is a lengthy thread already on the introduction of 'Platinum' edition games, so I won't go into the pros and cons of it here, but so far GH have promised that all Platinum Edition games will have a Standard Edition released at the same time.

Thank you so much! So is the Platinum different than the Premium?

No different at all as far as I can see. They have various extras, walkthroughs, concept art etc, but I haven't seen any features mentioned that are any different to/better than Premium Editions.

Hello silverfairy27,

In addition to the help that Lagoona and SilverSuki offered, there have been several Forum threads on the topic of Platinum Edition games.

The main distinction of Platinum Edition games is that they represent content not previously available to GameHouse. In order for GameHouse to bring you these games, many of which have been requested by our customers, we are contractually unable to offer them for FunPass play.

And just one point of clarification: GameHouse will do our best to release both a Platinum Edition game and its corresponding standard edition, which will be available for FunPass play, at the same time. That may not always be possible (on occasion the standard edition release date may be different from the Platinum Edition's release date) but that is our goal.

Hope that helps -- thank you for your business and support!

Bill
