Giving it away? O.o £10 isn't peanuts

Because they are going along the "season" route. Each year you purchase a "season" the game - it has a 10 year plan. If you dont purchase the new season, you are locked out of part of that content. Elite's price will jump back up to its £39.99 price when Horizons is released, as it will replace Season 1 in Steams store.

If anyone has any questions about the game, I should be able to answer (iv'e been involved with the game since the Kickstarter campaign/Alpha). It is awesome by the way:)

It's utterly awesome with the DK2, especially if your graphics card has the balls. You go from flying looking straight ahead to being able to follow the ships you're targetting with your head as you fly.

Docking, flying, fighting... all becomes awesome, especially as you then realise most ships have loads of windows so you get an awesome view. Fuel scooping can make you a bit nervous at first, though. :smile:

The game will be £40. But as you are 8 months behind the party already grab it for £10 now. I'm sure in 10 months time season 2 will be on offer for £10. :smiley:

Now this is what I like to see!

Just remember that this will not include the Season 2 content Horizons when it is released in December. You will still be able to access the game, but not land on airless planets (which is season 2).

Why not?

I didn't know this at the time when I helped to start the project. Saddened to see they are practically giving away the base game.

If you were at a certain kickstarter backer level, you will have a lifetime pass for the game, which will include all the expansions. It might be worth checking your account.

So with the next "season" coming out next month, if i buy this now will i be screwed? or penalised in any way?
Thanks.
