I'm excited for the game but not the price.

This is the era of releasing incomplete games and charging $60. The value proposition is completely thrown off in 2016. This is an indie game published by Sony on consoles.

I fail to see where the extra $20 comes from honestly. The planets are procedurally generated. The game has some npcs and factions but it's not an fully rendered Mass Effect/MGS level lore we're talking about here. You won't see other characters in the universe and you can't trade with them either. It would be one thing if you could explore planets with friends and set up your own faction.

I weigh the value proposition of a game relative to the msrp and decide whether or not to purchase. This game is an instant purchase at $40 to $42. At $60 I'm over looking for additional in-game content to justify the purchase.
