@purplehippo 50 bucks these days for an EARLY ACCESS indie game.

I think a lot of people seem to forget the appeal of Early Access in its infancy, before Steam basically stole that idea, was games like KSP or Mount & Blade having the increasing price model where as they built up the game it got more expensive before finally reaching a predetermined final retail price.  I got the original Mount & Blade for like 2.50 on this model way back in the day (when GamersGate was the primary retailer they had it on, to boot), and it was some of the best money I ever spent.  But even if it wasn't, even I can write off 2.50 if it ends up naff.  50 bucks, ... not so much.
