    I actually agree with Neutrino on that.
    This is the sort of stuff that /v/ and Reddit whines about, and the people on /v/ and Reddit are morons.
    This won't spark up any sort of attack on Uber.

    Now, if the box DIDN'T say "EARLY ACCESS EDITION" on it, THEN that'd spark an attack, rightfully so. But Uber isn't stupid enough to make that kind of a mistake.

    A cesspit.
    In all seriousness, it's the video games board of 4chan, Reddit's brother.

    I never figured out how to browse any of those.

    But I think I now know why certain things are called V

    We have asked the backers if they want to put it for sale, and we give them a cut of the proceeds as a thank you for backing the game and opening it up this way! It's a way we can help give back to the backers themselves.
    In fact, we asked the backer who helped design the Armalisk if we could let Nordic put it in the early access box, and he said yes.

    The whole reason we have the Nordic agreement is because some people like to have the physical box, and some people prefer to never use credit cards on the internet. They also told us that some of those people would like to participate in early access. So we agreed to let them do this early access box. I think it is good for those customers, good for the pool of people in the community, good for our partners at Nordic, and good for us! What a win!

    But even then, 10-15 dollars?
    That's almost half the price of the actual game, Even for something completely optional that seems a little overpriced.

    That's exactly what I meant. Why would you need more than one commander?

    Infect kids with the idea when they're young, drain their wallets when they're adults. :p
    (Not counting the part where you drained their parents' wallets.)

    Two questions: Will we (the people who have already been supporting the game for quite a while) have to do anything special to get the new commander that the new people get for free? Secondly; I remember a while ago there was a Steam sale in which everyone who bought the game during said sale or before would get a special commander, when will we be getting him?

    Count me part of that group. I buy games online (mostly Steam) but just about everything else i buy in a store. No picture can equal actually holding stuff in your hand and checking it out. And not every online store has the payment options i want. So i can completely understand if this applies to games too for other people.

    People didn't want IPhones until Apple made people want them. Maybe this is something new. I'm already seeing other games copy PA's early access pricing scheme so that's usually a sign you're doing things right :D

    Is this the first time a pre-release game has been... "released" in a box?

    I like boxed copies for certain games. Makes a more impressive looking gift than a piece of plastic with a code on it too.
