Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Larian, of Interest: Planetary Annihilation Woes

I don't see the point why people are upset about that 90$ price for alpha access for Planetary Annihilation.....

What would you say if they instead offer a pay-pal "slackerbacker" site where you could still "buy" kickstarter tiers? Everyone would say: "Cool. I missed the kickstarter and I still want to support the devs so I get that alpha tier for $90".

But now they haven't done it via a paypal option, they've done it via Steam Early Access. Point is: it's the same thing, only the name and platform has changed. The game will still be available for $20 at release so there's no reason to be angry about the pricetag.

The Early Access for the alpha at $90 is only meant to people who still want to support the developers by means of financial support AND gameplay/development support (by givinig feedback during the alpha phase).

Everyone who just wants to buy the game should wait until release to get the game for the "normal" price and everyone would be happy.
