    That's on the latest PTE.

    I'm not a kickstarter backer but I find this completely outrageous. That's the Progenitor, a supposedly perma exclusive kickstarter commander. Retexturing it and then selling it for $10 is still breaking kickstarter promises.

    This isn't the first time they've done this.

    They take an exclusive commander, change the color, and sell it.

    To put it lightly, I'm not happy about this at all.

    since it's PTE it may as well be a placeholder image.

    Armalisk/SacrificialLamb was with the permission of the KS backer that made though AFAIK. I don't believe that they asked all of their $50+ backers about this for permission to do it this time.

    If it's placeholder then why ship it in the PTE in the first place?

    Same happened with the Delta Commander. That was a $90 Kickstarter backers only if I remember correctly.

    Wow. I REALLY hope that that is a bug and/or placeholder, and I don't even have access to that comm normally. That's just not fair.

    With Delta it was somewhat understandable as they had foolishly chosen to slap it all over the place. They did promise those persons who backed at the correct level for it a new com. I don't see any reason for them to do this.

    Any reason except for money at least.

    Is it bad that I just want to see what they do with the Alpha commander? :oops:

    If this turns out the way it currently appears on the surface, I will be extremely disappointed. Commanders like this are supposed to be an indication to players for years to come that WE STUCK IT OUT FOR THIS GAME.

    We're working with the AbleGamers Charity and offering an exclusive Commander with some of their signage. Proceeds go to the charity.

    On a slightly related note: When you look at things in PTE, please take a second and ask yourself, "is this finished?"
