Discount of some kind?(Its about overgrowth 'kay)

[Vibhor]

I wanna ask if there is gonna be some kind of christmas discount or something for the game as 30$ is way too costly for me.

[Anton]

I wouldn't expect any kinds of discount this year, or even next... the game is still in alpha, and they can't afford to discount it before there is a product to sell...

[Jackrabbit]

I think a discount really won't happen untill the beta's maybe, but in my opinion a discount shouldn't happen because really wolfire deserves the money they get and maybe the money is crucial to the development
but if 30$ is really that costly to you maybe you should persuade someone from giving you money using this statement "this game is in alpha mode now and it costs 30$, if the beta releases the price goes up so it might end up becoming something like 60$ :'(" that worked for me if that doesn't persuade them use this "and if I buy it during alpha I'll get the flashy title of preorderer "

I could do that but the problem is 30$ ARE too much in my country
in 30$ I could buy 3 AAA games and still be left with enough money to buy a pizza.

In which country do you live in? 30$ is really cheap. In dk, an AAA game is about 45-60$ <.<

And sometimes more. So yep, 30$ is not much really.

I live in India
the conversion rates are a killer.
1 dollar costs like 50 rupees.
this easily makes the price near 1300 which is really not acceptable

You're not adjusting to inflation. Maybe $30 is a lot for him, ie, they earn less in India? That's why stuff seemingly costs less?

In India you can buy games and dvds for very cheap (I'm not talking about the pirated dvds either!) . So i can see why $30 seems like alot for a game in Alpha. Even for me living in the UK it seems like alot. They would probably benefit from a 20-50% off sale. I would certainly buy it then, and i'm sure it would bring in quite alot of new preorders.

EDIT: Minecraft was pretty cheap and it's made millions. It goes to show that in at least some cases having a lower price can generate more money.

A normal game bought off the store can cost 50 or 60 dollars (in Western countries, it's much cheaper in India), so compared to that you're already getting 50% off. This doesn't help those living in India, since it's several times more than what commercial games usually cost in there.
