Planetary Annihilation's $90 Alpha [Jun 14, 2013, 8:41 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
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)

I was just worried that was going to be the FINAL price!Their reasoning for charging that much in Alpha is sound though.
Which is why I said I'm waiting for the final release to buy.
There is no big payoff for getting in early on an alpha like this. People who really want to are more than welcome to. This isn't rocket science. And no one is twisting anyone's arm to make them buy in now. It's by choice.
