    I like this
    (With this in mind, and to make it easier to get in to the alpha who have been waiting patiently,we are dropping the price)

    Off course we are here since........ long time.....but.......who cares......

    I wonder if the package includes all the perks the original did, like the Alpha and Progenitor. For that price, I don't think Alpha should be included, just to make early backers and preorders feel a bit more like special snowflakes.

    alpha and progenitor are limited to backers of the respectiv KS tiers ...
    preorderers only will get the theta or additionaly the delta when buying the cosmicpack ...
    though while just a betabacker i personaly don´t mind the pricedrop at this stage ...
    i probably won´t have a problem on late beta either because i know i myself wanted this game rather funded instead of just preordering or buying it on release ...
    and i know that unlike betapreorderers i will have a progenitor :p

    ... but what do you guys think about this ???

    The alpha is mostly over it makes sense to drop the price.

    Guess what, the price is going down again for beta, and then down again for release.

    Will there be a retail version of PA that will just be the game and not include any of the extras?

    Yep. We are in the pre-order phase now so that stuff will go away.

    There is one very important moment you don't understand:
    When you give money to Uber currently you are not just buying game, you fund it's development.

    PS: If you really want to buy game cheaper you just wait for it's release.

    Pretty much this. I knew when I was paying $90 (or was it $70? I don't remember...) that I was paying for all the cool collector's Commanders and the overall experience of being someone who, with little nudges this way and that, could help shape PA into a game that I would overall feel to be more enjoyable.

    You're paying about $70 more than (post)retail for this game to turn into a reality, and I personally think it's worth it because this is the kind of thing that you just don't see enough.

    Hmm then you need to update the page on early access it still promises the goodies :)

    Code:
    Early Access Includes:
    Game Key: Access the game now, during the Beta period and after Planetary Annihilation releases. 
    Theta Commander: Commanders are at the center of your faction in PA. The Theta commander is a unique shell design only available to those who purchase the game in Early Access or pre-purchase the title at a later date. It is a distinguishing symbol of your support. 
    Soundtrack: The PA Soundtrack is the game’s score by Howard Mostrom and recorded by a live orchestra. It will be yours via digital download when the game is released. 
    Desktop Wallpaper: This is the official full release Planetary Annihilation wallpaper and will come in a variety of resolutions for you to choose. (Design to be finalized by release.) 
    Digital Artbook: From early concept sketches to full renders, this is a compilation of the art and design that went into PA.
    or did i misunderstood you? :)

    Seems fair enough. To be honest, i wouldn't even have a problem if there was a big "price-countdown" on the Uber store where the number continuously decreased as time went by.

    Let us assume assume $40 release on 1st december, $60 Beta on 1st September, $70 on 25th July and $90 on 8th June (obviously future dates will probably change). This gives is a good linear regression fit (R^2=0.97) with a gradient coefficient of -0.276 ($/day) and a intercept of $130.23.

    This translates to the price of PA decreasing by approximately 0.00032 cents every second. Fun fact: on the day that the kickstarter was launched, access to PA cost $168.62.

    This clearly does not represent a complete and fallacious abuse of statistics and regressions in any way.

    According to these calculations, PA becomes free at 20 minutes and 52 seconds past 8pm on 15th march, 2014. After this Uber will have to pay you to acquire a copy of PA

    This is a bold business plan. Lets see how it pays off.
