Hi, I don't know why the price is so high. I mean, people HELP them and don't get a finished product !
See the differences with Larian and the beta of Dragon Commander, noone paid for it, they just gave it for two reasons :
- Give a better product, with a lot of beta testers
- Congratulate their backers and reward us !
83 euros to not play a game is pretty strange and gives a bad advertisement to the game... This is a bad idea, in my opinion.
You don't know what you're speaking about. It's not THAT hard to understand, really.....
They made a kickstarter for the game. They had a pledge tier which gave alpha access for $90. They brought their game to steam. They established a "slackerbacker" option for this $90 tier for people who still want to support them making the game - using steam instad of paypal.
There is NO way to offer the alpha or beta below the price poeple had to pay during the kickstarter. That would be screwing the people who intially supported them, which means their biggest fans. Offering a $90 possibility to fans who came late and still want to support them is perfectly legit. If you don't want to support them, don't buy the alpha. You can still wait until the final release will come out which will have a pricetag at about $30 I guess.....
So much trouble because people don't even try to understand and are not even able to inform themselves before making stupid comments on the topic.....
And there was no kickstarter for Dragon Commander, completely different thing. But if Larian would offer a D:OS alpha option later for less than it cost on kickstarter they would also screw their initial backers....
