Fictionvision: Also, yes I know GOG wouldn't put up something for $90 damn dollars. I think
not unless TeT or Judas decide they need enlargements or implants maybe?! O_o7

Christ. That's almost as much (in dollars) as I've paid for *all* the GOG games I've bought since starting an account (most of the time waiting for sales and such).

Old_Speccer: I thought it was a typo, maybe £16.99 or even £7.99, but no it's really £67.99.
Looking at the Steam forum for the game, people are not happy! Some quite entertaining reads - http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/
They don't want poor people to play it, it seems.

"Oh no! I can't pay 1/10 of the price to get the same rewards as the backers who made it possible to start with. Boohoo."
Come on, waiting for the price to go down isn't that hard, they even gave a pricing schedule.

I would guess the charging for Alpha on Steam thing is relatively unavoidable because they likely were driven by a need to match the kickstarter price so people who funded them didn't get pissed off.

Exactly. Even though the price is insane i do understand why they did it.

I dunno it really sounds like price gouging to me, couldn't they have given real rewards to backers instead of just alpha access which I think a person should pay less for since they basically are a lab rat for the game.

I feel like trying to low ball them, Craigslist style. Hey, I will give you $30 cash for this game. :P Because that is what they deserve for being so greedy. Of course, I'm totally wrong if it is the best game ever made in the history of the man but I doubt it.

Our pricing for this stage of early access was determined by our Kickstarter. The stages of our early access for ALL users, which was determined during our Kickstarter, is:

June through August: $90 for early alpha access, during the time where we're still locking down features and making tweaks to the flow of the game. This access is permanent access - you will be able to play through alpha, beta and on through retail. (Galactic Edition Equivalent with all addons)

September through November: $60 for beta access. The game will be much more complete at this time, but with a lot of balance work still to do and more optimizations to get it working on as many systems as possible. Same as above, this is beta and turns into a retail version on launch. (Warfare edition equivalent with all addons)

Retail: December 2013 (Combat edition equivalent)

This is the pricing determined over a year ago. Our Kickstarter set these levels, and while we understand people may not like it, it's the decision we had to make.

But that is the schedule if you want to wait until the price drops to a level you're more comfortable with.

Meh. I'll wait until it gets cheap, wait longer for it to show up Steam-free, and then it'll sit with dozens of other unplayed titles in my backlog.

totally agree, game should have low balling option, will make them realize what how much their game and effort is worth

Yeah, just because a small group of people see something as gold does not make it gold.

The price is high, yes. But it makes perfect sense since any other price would have screwed over their Kickstarter backers. The only alternative would have been to not sell alpha access at all outside of Kickstarter.
