Free to play is ONE concept of the future. A lot of people who donated to the Kickstarter with the assumption that they were getting the game at a discounted price, so Uber has basically locked themselves into a $19.99 / $29.99 box price. By the way, CAN'T WAIT! | ||

It already looks very hard to move around and play the map on an accurate scope. | ||

"It already looks very hard to move around and play the map on an accurate scope." they plan to put in the option for multiple interactive windows so you can see one or more planets from different perspectives and also give orders over them ... the reason for the tf 2 like graficstyle is readability and cause of productioncosts since it is a kickstartergame.. | ||

I don't think playing the alpha would be much of a draw anyhow. It's bound to be filled with bugs and little annoyances. Much better to come to a fresh and polished experience once it goes into live / beta. At least the money go directly to the project so that's always good. the 90 buck is most likely a gatekeeper to keep the people with access to it low. They already have a ton of people from the kickstarter who are bound to test the alpha. | ||

Yeah, i understand the thoughts behind it, since being an alpha one could hardly really play it for enjoyement and you want committed people. I just said that i would like to do that, which i normally don't, but the 90 bucks turn me off. Too bad that by the time i knew about the kickstarter, it was already over, eh ? hehe. Well, see you guys at the beta :d | ||

but i still gonna post this regardless of consequences soooo for those WHO ARE INTRESTED ... Uberent put up an early access sale on steam i wanna mention that it´s pricing is quite high with 90 dollars for purchase .... BEAR IN MIND though this is the pricing of what is basicly the galactic pack in the Uberstore here are both links: Uber Store Plannetary Annihilation Steam Planetary Annihilation Early Access why the high pricing? 90$ was the price people had to pay in the kickstarter aswell to get into alpha of the game those who just wanted to pay fore beta paid 60$ the complete game may cost 30 - 40$ on release so generaly if you don´t want to pay such a high price for alpha or beta you have to wait unitl release ... i like to mention aswell that compaired to other early access sales like minecraft or arma 3 this game is croudfounded ... and even though it´s made by an indiedeveloper it is by no means a simple game a massage from bob berry of uberent i like to post here: " It's $90 to get in to the Alpha which also gives you Beta access and the final game. And the reason that we're charging $90 for alpha is because that was the Kickstarter promise. If we lower it we'd be screwing over all of our Kickstarter backers. No way we can do that." additionaly: "you can a) buy Alpha right now and get instant access. b) pre-order the Beta and get it when we move in to Beta phase or c) pre-order the final game and get it when we release the final. Alpha gives you Beta and Final access, Beta gives you Final access as well. we'll make it clearer on the community page." hope that helps... | ||

this pricing model is completely backwards from what the gaming industry has learned in the last years. Im not mad or anything, i simply lost interest. I think they will lose a lot of pople with their strange behaviour. | ||

the reason for the high pricing is to keep of trolls and crybabies away until release where the game will cost bout 40$ or less the game is just not ready to be presented to the masses ... and therefore alpha is price for very interested RTSfans who realy want o support the game ... i explained already that Uber doesn´t want to screw over the kickstartercommunity ... this is a crowdfunded game afterall ... if you don´t want to pay 90$ (which i aswell wouldn´t pay) for early alpha or 60$ for beta (which i paid for ...ahem) ... then just wait ... it shouldn´t be much of a problem to wait until relaease, is it? release will be bout december were the price for the game will be bout 40$ or less | ||

There's really no reason to complain. It's the alpha of a game. Just wait until the game is actually released and pay a fair price for that. And since the alpha and beta are semi-public, you'll have a good idea of whether you'll want to play the game or not. | ||
