*for a new game mode in an existing game

[–] SmilingSolaris 30 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Actually the game mode is on a pack selling for 250$

People who already bought the 150$ price only get a 6 month free trial of the game mode.

Or they pay an extra 100 to upgrade

$250?! What?! Why??

[–] SmilingSolaris 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why are you concerned? It still costs 250 but if you already spent 150 then you can get it for 50. All is well

You did well pig, you did well.

The $150 isn’t for the new game mode. People that paid $150 were told they’d get all DLC. The devs are saying this isn’t DLC and these folks will get it for free once the game is out of early access. People that paid $250 can play this now. People that paid any more will have some level of discount to purchase access to this mode.

It’s all in the article.

Star citizen taught them well.

There's nothing remotely close to this in SC history. Also full access to SC is actually less than the cheapest Tarkov package.

How much have you pledged?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I think $55 total? $35 for my initial package and I spent $20 a few years ago for a cooler starter ship because I was enjoying the game and wanted to support development. I think the $35 package is now $45 -- I bought in on the original Kickstarter -- but that price gets you full access to the game and all the ships/hangars/etc... you just don't start with them, and instead have to earn in-game currency to buy (or rent) them. I wouldn't want a super expensive starter ship anyway, it skips too much of the early game progression.
