    Planetary Annihilation costs 90$ (right now)

    It will be $40 at release actually. Also, the above images are what the steam page looks like after you start clicking "read more" links... So I like how your "look at how transparent they are" "proof" isn't even transparent. (at least, that is not how the store page for the game looks in...

    Poll: The Elder Scrolls VI: what do you want?

    My pc is already miles ahead of console performance and power... I want a game that utilizes it to bring me what the game should be instead of what they had to make it be to sell it on consoles.

    Planetary Annihilation costs 90$ (right now)

    The lack of information is on the steam store page... I have said it like 4 times now. You either have to go to their website, or dig through the posts clicking all the "read more" links and crap to get to the fact that its retail cost is less than half what they are charging now. Companies...

    Planetary Annihilation costs 90$ (right now)

    It isn't really transparent and clearly stated... Its on the scroll for the main store page in steam, just says the name of the game, and the price of $89.99... Then you click the store page, and it says its early access and the price was determined by kickstarter. Anything beyond that, and...

    Planetary Annihilation costs 90$ (right now)

    He never said they were all trolls. Re-read the post you keep quoting... It says "some of the first posts were..." not "all of the posts are..." and it sounds like the tone of the first few posts over there made the OP uncomfortable and they wanted a to have a different discussion about it.

    Planetary Annihilation at 90$ on Steam

    Yes. This. Exactly this. Asking for an exorbitant price on kickstarter is saying "hey, we need lots of money to get this game off the ground, please help us out, cause we think it will be awesome." Then, continuing to ask the same exorbitant price after your kickstarter goal was smashed to...

    Planetary Annihilation at 90$ on Steam

    Yea, but those free to play games or sub based games don't ask for it all up front either. $90 over the course of 6-9 months is much much more affordable than $90 all at once, which is why those games are accessible to the masses, but if the base price point for a game becomes $90, gaming would...

    Planetary Annihilation costs 90$ (right now)

    Iklol, that is kind of the problem. The way it looks on steam is "here is a game you can download and play immediately for $90". It looks an awful lot like a $90 indie game (which is terrifying) and not a $40 indie game with an optional $50 addon pack full of perks that also comes with early...

    Planetary Annihilation at 90$ on Steam

    I for one am more worried about the possible repercussions of a game showing up on steam for $90 from an indie developer. If it had been done in a more logical manner, and having the default option to be to pre-order the game for the $40 or whatever they plan to launch, then having the...

    Planetary Annihilation at 90$ on Steam

    Also, the idea that "I paid this much for a thing, so everyone else should have to also." is entitled ridiculousness... At any point with normal consumer transactions, you can purchase a thing not knowing about an upcoming sale, and then someone else has just purchased the same thing for...

    Planetary Annihilation at 90$ on Steam

    They paid $90 to get access to the alpha/beta before the game was out. Now if it is on Steam for $50 and you get the same access, it would be unfair. The game is still in alpha, it isn't out yet. If people on Steam want to get it in the alpha phase, they pay the same price as they would on...

    Planetary Annihilation at 90$ on Steam

    Except that people putting money into Kickstarter know (or should know) that they are taking a risk putting in that money in the hopes that the product in question will be developed. They are purposely funding the development of the game, not purchasing it. There is a major difference between...

    Planetary Annihilation costs 90$ (right now)

    The only problem with that is the list of extras you get with steam early access is similar but shorter. You get less from the steam early access, so it should cost less. Kickstarter backers received exclusive perks for paying $90 that steam customers do not get. It may be little stuff, but...

    Planetary Annihilation at 90$ on Steam

    People seem to miss the point entirely. Kickstarter is meant as a way to fund something. People are making donations to fund development of a game, and get rewarded for it. Steam Early Access is just a way to distribute and promote a game. For one, the people that paid the kickstarter price...
