Steam News announces
that
Planetary
Annihilation is now available as an early access title. This is causing
quite a stir thanks to the $89.99 price it carries, which is steep for a
finished game, much less a pre-beta. They include a note somewhat addressing
this, explaining that this is the price they told their Kickstarter backers that
early access would command:
Our pricing for this stage of early access was
determined by our Kickstarter. The stages of our early access for ALL users,
which was determined during our Kickstarter, is:
June through August: $90 for early alpha access, during the time where we're
still locking down features and making tweaks to the flow of the game. This
access is permanent access - you will be able to play through alpha, beta and on
through retail. (Galactic Edition Equivalent with all addons)
