Monte Carlo Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 ...or Steam you choose. The publisher-free revolution continues, comrades!!! Thanks Obz. 7
teknoman2 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 good news for all DRM haters out there. The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.
Huli22 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Good to know... more people will flock to kickstarter I presume.
Monte Carlo Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 Also $140.00 CE gets you beta access. Evil Obz have just got me there, and am upping my pledge accordingly.
Undecaf Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 This and the Beta access just made me up my pledge. Very good news indeed. Perkele, tiädäksää tuanoini!"It's easier to tolerate idiots if you do not consider them as stupid people, but exceptionally gifted monkeys."
C2B Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 That this was ever a question is baffeling. Like, the majority of past gaming kickstarters started with a unclear DRM situation till they got confirmation from some other service than steam and then had DRM free options.
Piccolo Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Great news. GOG.com has a very strong following of classic RPG fans, so I think Obsidian definitely made the right call.
Pidesco Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Getting Beta access makes me jump around with glee.

Maybe it was an insidious marketing scheme. Good news make people happy, happy people pay more.

WorstUsernameEver Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Kudos to Obsidian both for bettering their Kickstarter offer *and* for bettering their Kickstarter communication. They have the campaign on the right track.
Monte Carlo Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 Hmmm I must continue my analysis of Kickstarter spikes as this excellent news percolates through the gamersphere.
Syraxis Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Man, decisions... decisions. I <3 steam and get p. much all my PC games from there but the benefits of the GOG version (such as not being forced to play on the current version) have a lot of merits as well. Edited September 19, 2012 by Syraxis
Monte Carlo Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 GOG all the way for this callsign.
Malcador Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Well that's good news. Also Monte, that signature image is way too large Edited September 19, 2012 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Phinelete Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) good news for all DRM haters out there. GOG >>>>>>> Steam. No contest. If you ask me, Steam is an outdated client, a relic of the past, in which screwing over paying customers was a norm. Feel free to continue using Steam of course, but I won't be supporting Gaben's walled DRM garden anymore now that there's a viable alternative. I will support pro-consumer solutions like GOG. Thank you Obsidian & GOG! Edited September 19, 2012 by Phinelete
Hornet85 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Also $140.00 CE gets you beta access. Evil Obz have just got me there, and am upping my pledge accordingly.

Deraldin Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Why would you guys want beta access for a game like this anyway? Hurray I get to play the game in a bug filled state and spoil myself on all the story aspects before release! 2
Gurkog Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 <3 Obsidian <3 GoG me happy! Grandiose statements, cryptic warnings, blind fanboyisim and an opinion that leaves no room for argument and will never be dissuaded. Welcome to the forums, you'll go far in this place my boy, you'll go far! The people who are a part of the "Fallout Community" have been refined and distilled over time into glittering gems of hatred.

Sensuki Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Sorry for being OT guys, but just wanted to say... that's a little steep Wasteland 2 offers beta for $55 backers That's what I said. But I figure this will be a more popular title so raising the beta access required amount limits the field a bit (and it makes them more money ...) But yes I do miss ~35-50 beta access Edited September 19, 2012 by Sensuki
Olauron Mor-Galad Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Beta access to the game and steam-free version! Wow, thanks

Hurray I get to play the game in a bug filled state and spoil myself on all the story aspects before release! 2014 is a long time. Who knows if I'll still be alive. This is the first time (well, Wasteland 2 is for me) that many of us are paying for a game that's more than a year away. So I think beta will serve as a stop gap I guess.
