Bless Early access Release Date!
Yes we finaly know the exact release date of the Bless rebuild version that will release on Steam globaly on May 30 2018!
Early access on the early access?
However, you can even get 2 days early access on the early access? (LOL) When you buy a founders pack you can start playing Bless on May 28 2018.
Game price and founders packs
So, lets talk about the prices.....
To be clear, the BASE GAME will cost you $29,99.
Which you can only buy on the release date of Bless, which is the 30th.
If you want to start on the 28th you can buy one of three founders packs. If you just want to start on the 28th you can buy the standard edition for $39,99 which also included 30 days of premium membership. If you want some more in-game goodies, you can buy the deluxe or collectors edition which are priced pretty damn high.
Premium Membership benefits?
One of the problems of these prices are that we do not know enough about the exclusive content that comes with it. Nobody knows what the "Premium Membership" benefits are, but it would probably cost around $10 per month, since that is kinda the norm for MMO's these days. It would probably be something like ESO Plus for the Elder Scrolls Online, but we just don't know anything as of this moment.
But i do not think the price for the standard edition is too high. If the base game costs $29,99 and the standard founders pack that comes with 2 days headstart and 30 days membership is only $10 more, seems fair to me.
Is the collectors edition way to overpriced?
Many people are complaining about the $199,99 price for the collectors edition and the value that it brings.
Price breakdown
Base game: 29,99
90 days premium: 30
Lumena: 25
Skins: 40
Title and support: 10
Total: 135?
Well, these prices i just (made up) estimated the worth of, seem lower then the cost of the pack. But then again, i have no idea how much 3800 lumena would cost you or what it is really worth, same for the premium and the skins. But i do think its too overpriced to be honest.
