    .
    It looks very good.

    No, the game will cost money unless it is stopped short of development then maybe. Even then it would be around 2-3 dollars!
    ~ Thank You!
    John Devince SAFETY TORCH! PUT IT ON THE FRONT PORCH!!!

    It doesn't matter the dollars, I'm not English nor American nor Australian nor anything.
    This really made me get disappointed...

    I'm Arabic, and if you're not 100% percent sure, why hasn't this got announced yet? I'm pretty sure people do that before releasing a game.

    "The price is still TBD, but we want it to be accessible for everyone!" If it will cost money, it will not be accessible for everyone, therefore, nothing will grant this wish unless if it was free.

    woo woo woo! Hold it there mister! They aren't just going to blow money so you can have a free game? Did Minecraft? No! Did it still sell over 5 million copies? Yes!

    Jaber: Stick to My Little Pony.
    JohnDevince: Yes, they are going to blow money if they want it to be accessible for everyone.

    Hey hey hey! No need to pick on the Pony lover. And no. That would be major lose in profit. If you think you know everything go join the dev. team.

    Needicla: Stick to men?

    Are we done making immature comments about our avatars now?

    JohnDevince: Mhm, you still didn't reply to my declarative sentence. And as a reply to your very similar post: If they want a game to be accessible to everyone, they would accept having major loss in profit.
    Jaber: What does sticking to men have to do with anything I said?
    Jaber: Are you calling me immature when you have some weird thing on your avatar, and watching My Little Pony should really make you silent for now.

    I'm sorry Needicia, but this sounds really selfish.
    Do farmers give away their food for free after all their hard work? Of course not.
    Developing games costs money. The developers and artists/writers/musicians need to eat too.

    Of course there's a point with not everybody having money, but there's always a way to make money and be able to get it.
    Just as with everything in life, if you want it bad enough you'll be able to get it.
    If there's a will, there's a way.

    And tone down the hating please.

    Haha, get a load of this guy.
    If you want to be ignorant I suppose that is your prerogative. I've answered the questiion, so I'm out~

    Bask: Farmers have nothing to do with this, buying food is not like buying games, because the food is in their currency.
    Bask: I wouldn't bother to buy the game if it was in my currency.
    Bask: I have money, but it's not in my currency.
    Bask: No, I will not be able to get it.
    Bask: There's no way.

    And because this game's mission is to make it accessible for everyone, you have to do something about this situation, if you changed your FAQ, it's fine with me.

    Currency is transferable, you can make a paypal account and use that to pay or a credit card.
    It's not that difficult really.
    But if you wouldn't bother paying for games Starbound obviously isn't for you, just stick to the free games.
    You might want to take a look at Knytt and Knytt stories, it's free and it's a nice and quiet meditative exploration game.
