Is the $30 game that is currently showing up on the Microsoft Store the full game?
Complete with all the features and etc. (PowerPlay?)
Thanks!

$30 on XB Store
- Thread starter roastincoffee
- Start date
HahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahaha!
Gave $300+ during the KS to support the project and their vision, DB refuses to give us a roadmap, NO indication that the DDA is actually being worked on, Xbox Won announcement, console designed UI and "features", and now $30 early access + timed exclusive for Xbox Won. Boy do I feel like a sucker right about now.

No, not the full game, it's a preview (Beta)

To be fair, I think the other $30 is being paid by Microshaft.

CQC is Close Quarter Combat - an XBox One time limited exclusive add-on that will be released later on PC/Mac.
Wow $30 for the "current state of the full game"??!?!?!?!
How much is it on PC? How much again did I pledge during the KS campaign? I think I could by 10 copies on xbone, compared to my 1 pc copy
~anger~
To answer your question honestly, yes it is.
You get the full game for $30.
It's "Early Access" but it is the full game as we now play it (so that means we're still in early access surely????).
It isn't a pay now and get early access but have to pay again later, it is the FULL game for $30.
CQC will be added to Xbox one in July, December for PC/Mac players.
I think back then we had high hopes that the devs would be able to make a brilliant game.
Now we have a game, tho not the game i imagined.
And i would not pay the prices we did back then had i known.
I guess that is why its so cheap now.
whoa thats great.
So i payed more for the game then they do and they get the content earlyer .. thats great FD ...
You're also supposed to be happy about it.
Sorry, but what did you think those 300 bucks bought you ? Veto rights ? Influence on release schedules, pricing and ED design decisions, eternal snowflake status, DB being your mate ?
If there's anything from your pledge tier you didn't receive, contact support.
Other than that, i fail to see how pledge tiers, and how much people donated into the KS, has anything to do with FD's business decisions.
We wanted the game, the game came about (regardless of how well each of us may think it turned out), that's where our involvement ends, the rest is a mere business relation....apart from the player suggestions FD takes aboard.

I am going to have "mug" tattooed on my head.
Yeah, with the current amount of content in the game I'd say it's worth $30.
You and me both mate, what grinds my gears I that I actually sold some stuff to raise the cash to join the kickstarter. (Including my mobile phone and my spare computer.). Boy do I feel like a sucker now.
whoa thats great.

update: and i have to be happy about it.
Ehm..when did you buy the game again? How long have you had access to the game before everyone on Xbox?
Compare that to Xbox players that have had to wait for 6 months (or 1,5 years if you count since Alpha) to get access to "the content". (Yes, I understand that you mean CQC specifically, but the principle is the same...)
As for the price I'm pretty sure that is part of the whole "early access" rules on Xbox Preview. Buy it early, get it cheaper. Buy it when released for full price. Not something Frontier can control...and even if they can I don't really see a problem. People had the possibility to pre-order the game for PC cheaper on the PC too before it was launched. Sure, not as cheap, but that was several months ago...
The (temporary) lower price and timed content could just as well be seen as a "thank you for your patience" gesture.
