Premium Beta

Andro · Jan 12, 2016

Quick question, I'm checking to see if I bought into the Premium Beta by looking through my account orders, how much did PB cost in US dollars? I also heard that Premium backers got Horizons for free, am I right?

1. I paid $75.00 in August 2014.

2. No, Premium Beta backers didn't get Horizons.
3. And no, I do not own or plan to buy Horizons.

No one got anything for free. No free lunches here. Paid for one way or another.

Actually I believe you are both mistaken. Not to be argumentative but I was a Premium Beta backer and I got Horizons for free as it was part of the perk for backing that all future expansions would be included as part of the $150.00 that I pledged (this was the amount of being a premium beta backer)....I believe regular beta backers did not get this perk however only kickstarter backers and those that got on board for alpha and premium beta......

I see what you are saying that it wasn't free because premium beta cost more than later backing stages but it is semantics depending on how you look at it.

Premium beta cost $150 and you get lifetime expansions (i.e. Horizons)

$75 will be standard beta, so no Horizons. This makes point 2 inaccurate.

You're right.
I buy it, i "vroumvroum" 2hours and now. And now I never back on "planets", it's useless and not fun. I just wast 40€

Next I don't pre-order a small DLC for an extension price.
