Dayz Beta and final release added cost?

[papajo 13]

Ok I just looked it a little up on google etc didnt make a thorough research though... so as far I could tell (because I didn't find a definitive answer) when the beta is released the guys that paid for the prealpha will need to buy the game again? and after that when the final release comes up even then they need to rebuy the game?

Is that correct?


Cause if thats true I find it VERY disappointing... I bought this game just to check it out and contribute in bug reports or make some suggestion ... and then when the game will be released I hoped (naturally as thats what happened in all the games I purchased as alpha/beta versions and in all games in general that I can think of) that I was good to go with no extra cost... on contrary I expected some added privileges for us prealpha guys like some cosmetic stuff only we could have or something... 


If you have to pay again for the beta version and again for the alpha I think it is a rip off because I paid like 30 euros on this game (again as I said because I think that until the final release that would be all the money spend for it) so if you need to rebuy the next versions is a ripoff for sure because lets face it dayz in this current pre alpha state with all that lack of matterial bugs glitches  etc is not even worth 10 euros... even at 5 euros I would think of that game as expensive (again if that price was ONLY for the prealpha and if you needed to spend extra money for the beta and extra money for the final release..)

Please guys tell me that I am wrong and that we dont need to spend extra money for the beta and final release... :D

In the final version you will have to re-buy it every time your character dies.

Your copy you have purchased remains the same regardless of stages in development.

One look on this Forum rather than Google would have sufficed:

 

What is the pricing model?

 

The game will get more expensive as it moves through its development, starting out fairly cheap and rising in price as its matures and more features get added. When you buy it once, you will have access to the whole DayZ Game. No decision or information exists about DLC or anything like that, but we can confirm that DayZ will not feature in-game purchases.

What they're saying is you don't need to spend any more beans on DayZ :)

There is added cost for the beta and the final release but as far as I know you are only affected if you haven't already bought the game or buy it again. The alpha copy you purchased should work just fine unless you get banned for cheating.
