Game News Wasteland 2 Released on Steam Early Access + New Teaser Trailer

[Apexeon]

Never go back to Publishers Brain Fargo !!!
Never give them a cent.
So much IP ****ed by EA, MS etc etc.

 

[Infinitron]

ATM it "only" has 513 current players but that number's been steadily rising.

For some perspective, M&MX's all-time peak was 566, Blackguards's was 448, Underrail's was 214, Age of Decadence's was 81.

577 now. #2 Steam bestseller. Where do you see the all-time peak?

Fargo brings

The butthurt on steam is hilarious and plebs can playtest it for $60 for my WL2 - TToN combo.

http://steamcharts.com/app/240760 maybe, though the all-time peak seems to be bugged right now...

So, from what I can tell there's no longer a way to buy the game without getting early access? That notification on the store page made me think inXile would just pull beta access and some of the additional goodies, but not the game itself. I'm not a fan of this move, to be honest.

Well, backers can still do upgrades: https://rangercenter.inxile-entertainment.com/store

But yeah.

 

[Metro]

Hmmm, so they removed the ability to preorder just the game (sans early access) from their website for $25?

 

[muckguppy]

capitalism!

They've removed the option to pre-order just the game, period. I anticipated an increase in the price as the game got closer to being released, or something along those lines, but now all that's left for non-backers is a link to the early access Steam page:

I wonder what price Rex would consider paying, 2.8 dorra?

 

[Davaris]

Rex doesn't pay you, you pay Rex!

 

[DragoFireheart]

It sort of blows my mind. Who cares what the price is now? If you're not willing to pay it, just wait.

THE DEVELOPER VALUED THEIR PRODUCT AT A HIGHER PRICE THAN I WANT TO PAY, I WILL NEVER GIVE THEM A SINGLE PENNY NOW AND WILL SPIT ON THEIR GRAVES. HOW DARE THEY

*Goes out to buy an Xbone and Mass Effect 4/ Dragon Age 3 and dlc for a total price of 120 while getting raped in the ass*

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

now nearly 900 are playing

 

[crawlkill]

I wonder if redeemed Steam keys count in pushing it toward top 10 sellers

It doesn't work that way. Steam counts how much money the game is earning.

well good!

Most people buying are probably too retarded to realize the real reason the game costs so much right now.

I wanted to say something waspish, but I searched "price" on the steam page and the mention that this is a Kickstarter-related bonus charge for early access is hidden underneath the "What the developers say" collapsible. Well...they're gambling with goodwill there.

It should just be temporary. We'll likely bring it back soon.

 

[Metro]

Temporary? You know if were a cynic like the rest of these guys I'd say it's engineered to coerce people into buying the $60 version... but I have more faith than that~

 

[Brother None]

lol, you do realize we make less money on Steam sales right? PayPal's fees are nothing compared to Steam's margin.

 

[Excidium]

It was $60 for the pre-order too?

 

[Monty]

Temporary? You know if were a cynic like the rest of these guys I'd say it's engineered to coerce people into buying the $60 version... but I have more faith than that~

But if you're not buying the beta access package does it matter that you can't buy the game now, given that only the beta is released?

It doesn't seem that strange to me that those who didn't back the kickstarter won't be getting the kickstarter 'price' for the game and will pay the usual retail price on release. Those evil capitalists at InXile!

Well I'd assume you'd make more money after Steam's cut of $60 versus Paypal's cut of $25. But, I'm just supposing here. I still believe, Pete Brother None!

It's not like I have a wild hair up my ass about it. It just struck me as odd since yesterday BN was saying on the Steam discussions you could still preorder the non-beta/early access version for $25 on their website. I'm sure it'll be back around that or $30 on game release.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

I hope so! I actually wanted to back it in January and was utterly shocked and scared yesterday that it wont be an option.

 

[Severian Silk]

I think the teaser trailer in the OP was awesome. Especially the music!
