"...Star Citizen and Squadron 42 will no longer be SOLD together at the price of $45. Existing packages are not affected. If you want to buy either of the two, they will cost $45 each, however if you decide to buy both, the other one will be $15, bringing the total to $60. E.G. Buy Star Citizen for $45 and Squadron 42 is $15, Vice versa...."


Have fun

    Makes me a little happier that I bought in when I did.  At this point I would likely sit back and wait until release.  Nothing to do with SC specifically, but it is like extended warranties. . better to say no and cheaper in the long run to just buy what you need when you need it.

    I expect the price will continue to increase and expect the game will offer the value easily based on the cost of other games at the moment.

    Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!

    Buy Star Citizen for $45 and Squadron 42 is $15, Vice versa....

    So you can buy squad for 45 and star citizen for 15 too?
    Big scam alert! 

    It means only what people been telling since beginning. Squad was originally just a module to star citizen.
    Now they try to squeeze money.
    WAKE UP!

    They have to.  They have 4 studios, the smallest of which is already confirmed to have spent over 20 million already.  Assuming the others have spent the same thats 80 million gone.  Then figure all the subcontractors like illfonic who worked for 2 years on the FPS and the MOCAP cost plus the actors involved and it is pretty clear they need to release something in the next 12 months to bring in more revenue.  This is, in my opinion the reason they have switched the focus to SQ42.  It will generate some revenue and Star Marine would not since it was just a module for people who already paid for the game.

    Foundry 42 UK is the biggest of the 4 studios, not the smallest. Around 60 % of CIG work there.

    I wonder what the final price will be because in the article it says

    And it’ll go up again as they approach release, but for Feb. 14, it’s going up to $60.

    Plus several thousand dollars if you want to be competitive?

    If someone wants to be competitive, (s)he should learn to fly and shoot .... no matter the ship. 

    If someone sucks as a pilot, even the most expensive ship that (s)he flies solo won't save him/her. Someone else will be on the "six low" and cut him/her to pieces. It just might take a bit longer.

    But .. if 2 players with equal skill compete, with one of them having spent all of that money ... the ones one who paid will win.

    Same with 2 sucky pilots ... whoever spent the most will win ... given equal skill.

    Yeah, they forget a piece of the P2W cardinal rule: Given equal skill.
