You think $90 for Alpha from Uber was high? With Larian it was $135.
Well, no, that's wrong.
Bare-bones, only-the-Alpha Access was $75 - $50 for an Alpha add-on, plus $25 for a steeply discounted version of the normally-$40 base game. Funny enough, if Larian were to remove the discount and sell the base game at full price, the only-the-Alpha package would be $90, the exact same as Uber's early-access beta.
That gets to the crux of the complaints: Pay more now to get a less-good product, or pay much less later to get a better one.
Your "$135-for-Original Sin-Alpha" doesn't take into account that you're also getting 2 copies of Original Sin and one copy of Dragon Commander ($40 each at retail), plus the soundtrack ($10), Developer documents ($10), digital art book, digital map, name an undead and more. That makes the Alpha access a free bonus.
Uber's "$90-for-PA-Alpha" tier on Kickstarter includes the game for $20 (so $40 retail value), the soundtrack ($20), and a special model for the commander unit ($10), and a digital art book (let's say $10). So I suppose it's a bit more value than the $75 Original Sin + Alpha, but not close to as much value as Larian's $135 package.
