HOW MUCH DOES IT COST

[Marbian]

It's not in UK prices.. I don't know Earo or whatever... and do you keep the game for ever?

[Hiro]

£12.87 now it is in BETA. And yes, you get to keep it forever, and free updates.


Once it is in final release, it will be £17.

Not guaranteed free updates anymore, that was only for people who bought alpha. But you do get to keep the game forever.

Only get free updates if you bought gift codes/the game before Dec 20th :)

So now if you buy it in Beta it will not be a free update to full release version when it arrives?

Yes, you will, but smaller updates.. most likely not.

aw man i bought it on the 22nd :@

so does this mean when the full version comes out i'll have to pay £17?!

If you got the game for during alpha, you will still get all future updates for free, despite this change. A promise is a promise.
Buying the game during beta will include all updates up until release, of course, and bug patches will be free.

To answer those questions.

so i get all the updates until the game comes out of beta?

[Josh]

I think so. But like, you'll have the full release but then anything after that you'll have to buy like DLC and stuff.
