I got home at 11:30 pm, I got bored about 5:00 am, I went to facepunch.com and seen this : http://www.playrust.com/buy/
But there was no way I was going to buy a key for $130 at 5:00 am and $110.00 at 7:00 am.
I get up at 2:00 pm. KEYS ARE SOLD OUT WTF?! The price would of been $40.00,
Who the heck buys a beta key for $40 when the game isn't finished yet?
To me this game is only worth the same as Minecraft, which is $20 for the PC.
I want to know : How much you bought your key for?
-
-
People who are extremely eager to be alpha testers, I guess.
-
I spent $0 on my key. Guess it pays to get in early.
-
this is what i did
-
Or extremely eager to spend mommy and daddy's money so they can go on Rust and play hacker.
I don't think we can group all users into the honorable category of "alpha tester". It would be interesting to assess how many users (as a percentage) actually contribute and provide feedback as opposed to those who simply play. I guess now that they're paying customers, you can't do shit about it.
EDIT: Regarding the price, I'll have to wait until keys hit my valuation of $4.00 CDN. Supposedly the auction resets at $0.50... perhaps I can get a discount.
-
Like 10 minutes.
Playing rust itself is less enjoyable than drawing the drawing I did was.
-
So should i wait until they have a fix price or get it for 20$ once it reached that price (and if theres still keys available)?
-
no no no the keys were sold out by the time i got up and checked the site, which would of been $40, the lowest it can go is $0.50, or 50 cents before resetting, and you would have less than a minuet to load paypal and buy it.
-
Well, lets hope we all get better luck tomorrow. I wish everyone can just wait till we get to 20 or 30$ :/
-
Taking a poop was more enjoyable than my experience than Rust.
Edited:
Now, I admit, it was a good poop, but my point still stands.
-
this is not much different than those who back a kickstarter project to get access to a early version of the game and if you read the details you dont only get the alpha but also everything up until and including the final product. i think it is an awesome idea. i cant count how many posts i have read that people have begged for a key or asked for them to be sold so they may play and when Gary finally does people complain that it isnt what they wanted. its a shame really. alpha version are not a right but a privilege and if you dont want to buy your access then you always have the option to wait or find it by other means.

Got my key in January, spent 0 hours (to find the key, not the hours spent playing) and $0 on it.
I don't understand why there are so many people flocking for a key.
-
Mincecraft + DayZ babbies.
-
Ok i payed this much $0 i registered when it came out
-
I wish I had a tentacle hand. Japan would pay billions for some real-life tentacles.

I got one in the first batches of keys when I randomly saw the thread pop up that came out when there were like 10/20 tops playing at one time. It didn't run on my pc so I never played it.
-
Im sorry, has nothing to do with thread but, does rust run on a macbook pro 13"?
Thanks

I love this, they literally took my idea right from one of my first posts about the money they could be making daily.

Got my key in February for $0 dollars and spent a total of 2 hours on.
-
This infuriates me.
But yeah, could we not buy keys @ 50+ Dollars guys. I tried to get one at 30 dollars last night, but.. fucking hell it was all sold out. 100 people bought keys yesterday. AT LEAST 25% bought at the 70+ pricing. WHO THE FUCK HAS ENOUGH MONEY FOR THIS SHIT? LITTLE 12 YEAR OLD SHITS WITH MAMA PAPA MONEY?
-
i got my key for free and played 10 minutes, i dont understand how people can actually pay money for this lol
-
I've been afk for around a month and postal gave me a key a month ago due to my drawings, I thought my key would have been used already, so yah i paid like 0 dollas
Thx Postal :D
-
Don't be too jealous now. Maybe some day, you'll find a good paying job and understand that not everyone who pays for something expensive is a kid using his parent's money.
-
Look. I'm all for supporting garry. He's a stand up guy. He delivers. But 70+ dollars for a game is just insanity.
-
unless its half life 3
-
I got it with the magic key half a year ago. Played a few hours. Took 1 minute to find the magic key though, I hope it was worth it.
-
None, I got it super easy and free.
-
LOL at all the people saying ''Oh I only played 10mins when they started giving away keys then I never played again'' If you only played 10minutes, your account is supposed to be deleted for inactivity
-
People are paying $60.00+ for an unfinished game LOL
-
they'll get the final game too
-
Still overpriced
-
Yeah but they only have 1 hundred keys per day
-
No one is putting a gun to their heads nor is there a gun to yours forcing you to watch and comment about it. Let people do what they want with their money.
-
You can wait and the price goes down
-
I agree. It is, but it's their money and they can do whatever they want to do with it. I'm not saying that there are no kids that would buy it for more than it's worth, but there are people with more money than they need and maybe they just want to pay more as a way of donating.
-
Just wait a few days. I am sure Gary's gonna run this for at least a week.
All those little kids spending someone else's money will get weeded out and you'll be able to pick up a key for a decent price. Honestly I wouldn't buy this for a penny over $20US. It has nothing to do with Gary, I just personally am not positive I'll play it that much that it'll be worth more than $20.
I like supporting indy devs since the big titles don't ever come with modding tools anymore (except stuff from Valve, Epic, and I.D.), but I'm not going to overpay for a product that may or may not attract many people.
I'm also buying DayZ alpha when it comes out in the next few months so I have to manage my purchasing (and I make wayyy more money than I need or spend, but that's why I have that much, because I don't overspend on stuff).
-
I spent $35 on it and I've spent 5 minutes on it, then it crashed :p
-
I watched the countdown for several hours, twice already and each time the cost for keys went only as low as $30 dollars. I wanted to see how much lower it would go and as soon as it hit the 29.99 mark the site refreshed to SOLD OUT. ( both days I was there on time down). I was going to hit it for a $25 price tag but apparently there not selling that low. OH WELL there's always tomorrow. 30-35 is the sweet spot for PRICE. IF you really want in on the ALPHA.
PLEASE take Note: when 29.99 hit there were still keys left and I doubt they were all snatched up at that last minute. Its definitely a bottom limit price.
-
I paid $33 for mine. A little more than I wanted to but I had to go to work and I believe int his game enough to feel good about $33 to the devs.
Played for like 3 hours, even with the bugs doing good and having fun.
-
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow gold members spent 0$ for the key WOWOWOWOOWOWOWO.
pls, sarcasm.
