So how does it feel to have paid real moola to be a alpha stage tester? Was looking at joining at the weekend but seems ridiculous to spend hundreds of dollars on in game ships to be a alpha tester.
Really hundreds of dollars?
Friend of mine spent $45 and he's playing the crap out of the game.
It's not like the game is bare bones or anything like that. There is a lot to do and explore.
As for paying to be a tester, there are thousands of games on steam that are early access, that you pay for and if you choose you can provide feedback ect. Same deal.
This however is on a completely different scale, this games scope and size is vast. Bigger than anything I've ever played.
I've actually made real cash from playing this game. I've bought some of the special/limited edition ships and sold them on (For a profit) once they stop selling them.
