I was pretty happy to hear that they went to beta, but the price is pretty much stopping me from jumping in. If your a hard core elite fan I think it might be alright if you happened to miss the kick starter thing and what have you. It's not that I think it's "too much" I've sunk WAAAAAY more then that into Star citizen. but even star citizen has much smaller pledge packages to get involved and contribute to the game at the same time.
That's really the rub is that now they have proven that they have a game and its a pretty cool looking one i'd love to chip in, test it out and make it even better. but 150 bucks? I agree with the article, its just too steep to really get involved if your just a video game enthusiast.
but hey I guess if they are pretty sure they will fill those 10k slots at 150 bucks a pop then they probably have the money they need to finish the game so no harm no foul. still it is a shame, love to hit the space lanes but 150 bucks is almost 3 triple A tittle games worth and that's allot of gaming to give up for an "early access" type of game.
