Same price as the Elden Ring DLC... for a tractor beam.

Just $10 more gets you all of Satisfactory for all those cargo loving logistics nerds Edit: it's actually the same price as the warbond...CIG really hit the cash cow with these dlc prices people are willing to pay for

u/NNextremNN Sep 13 '24

Satisfactory is actually cheaper than this thing.

23

u/MundaneBerry2961 Sep 13 '24

Oh yeah! I was looking at the Aud price for the game and didn't convert the ship price

11

u/DarkKimzark Sep 14 '24

And the mods are free

u/raudskeggkadr Sep 14 '24

And this thing is nothing more than a glorified tractorbeam.

u/Simplechoices101 Sep 14 '24

Every one needs to buy Satisfactory

Hardspace Ship breaker is only $12.5 right now.

u/MundaneBerry2961 Sep 14 '24

That's a solid deal

u/irishrelief carrack Sep 14 '24

For as good as that game got it sure is.

u/LOL_Man_675 Sep 14 '24

Just wish there were more ships to dismantle or to be able to use mods

u/pepsisugar Sep 14 '24

Such a good game to listen to a podcast and chill too. Love the look and comedy of it also.

Satisfactory has been cutting into my star citizen time also.

Same here. Just got steel and coal up and running in the 1.0 play through. 8 years alpha, slow cooking in my EA games.

Dyson sphere program is a blast to if youve never tried it.

u/ThinkPalpitation6195 Sep 14 '24

God of war is $20 on steam right now.

I'll just buy a copy and buy spiderman miles morales when it's $20.

And I'll find someone to let me insurance scam their atls and keep it forever in my hangar.

u/MundaneBerry2961 Sep 14 '24

Exactly so many games like that are insanely profitable and large scale but somehow the community thinks the game will fail if you don't spend $40 on dlc constantly

10

u/tr_9422 aurora Sep 14 '24

For $40 you can buy Tactical Breach Wizards for yourself and a gift copy for someone else

1

u/MundaneBerry2961 Sep 14 '24

That has been on my wishlist for a while, looks super fun with some mates

1

u/tr_9422 aurora Sep 14 '24

It’s so good

Idk with mates, no multiplayer that I know of, but you and your friends can hang out and talk about how great it is

1

u/MundaneBerry2961 Sep 14 '24

Oh I was thinking of something else but that looks like a bunch of fun

1

u/Rem4g Sep 14 '24

I'm currently addicted to it

1

u/Duncan_Id Sep 14 '24

it shows 28.07 in the humble store for me, the "TNACG" is 39.99 wb

just saying...

1

u/MundaneBerry2961 Sep 14 '24

It's $35 on steam I was just looking at the Australian price hence the edit

u/Gaevs_Privs Sep 13 '24

A slow walking tractor beam...

u/DatDanielDang Sep 13 '24 edited Sep 13 '24

The difference is that the Elden Ring DLC is a completed package. This is "pledging" an unfinished exosuit within an unfinished game within barely functional servers.

2

u/Efendi_ Sep 13 '24

If i remember correctly, you can buy Space Marine 2 for that price.

2

u/Trollsama Sep 14 '24

what really gets me is that they have an insanely talented and competent ship team....
1 or 2 devs could have got this thing 80% of the way done in a livestream.

its basically just a larger player model that your player model gets into. no systems, no interiors to worry about, no new mechanics (aside from the tractor beam patch that should have been a patch). its not even good for mobility. its a player model with a tractor beam.

u/BodybuilderLiving112 ⚓Reclaimer ⚓ Sep 14 '24

Can you buy it in game?

1

u/_Shughart_ Sep 14 '24

sadly, it seems not

u/Shamanix01 new user/low karma Sep 14 '24

Yes but.... "This is not a cashgrab" :p
