Haha, I feel the same.

DLC and the Gratuitous Space Battles Complete Pack! [steampowered.com] Includes 6 items: Gratuitous Space Battles, Gratuitous Space Battles: The Tribe, Gratuitous Space Battles: The Order, Gratuitous Space Battles: The Swarm, Gratuitous Space Battles: The Nomads, Gratuitous Space Battles: Galactic Conquest

OK, so there are 7 items for sale... the core game, the 5 DLCs, and the Complete Pack. What is the price for the Complete Pack? I think anyone interested in this game in the least should consider the Complete Pack. 4 of the DLCs add new races, which mean entirely different ships to control, so it quadruples the playablility of the game. Not sure what the Galactic Conquest DLC adds.

That being said, for those of us that can't see the store page atm, please enumerate the pricing for the core game and the Complete Pack (which I doubt is $5, since that would be a great deal worthy of a big sale). The DLC separately is not as important, but for completeness, it should be listed too. Thanks!

Game + all DLC is $10.

A demo is available so try it and see.

Ahh, I figured. $5 for the whole kaboodle just seemed too good of a deal. I remember trying the demo the last time the game was on sale (wasn't it less than $5 previously) and figured I would wait for a deal on the whole set. Looks like I will keep waiting.

Thanks for checking!

Looks like it has in fact been cheaper. Was $4.99 during sale a few weeks back. Complete pack was also cheaper at $9.99.

Steam now has MW3 up for preorder. No sale until they have some sort of hats. Or a baklava. Balaclava? w/e

OK, got me there!

If you are torn, try the demo. I got it a while back and its ok. The gameplay in a lot of ways is boring. I enjoy building the ships, but then it becomes a mess once the battles actually start. I enjoy Sword of the Stars a lot more. I know they are totally different games, but GSB just seems too simple for my taste, and SOTS: Complete was recently on sale for $10 too.

hmm... looks like a mediocre game at best. reminds me of homeworld in some ways. $4.99 for a complete pack would entice me more. i haven't played the demo but from the looks of it, there's a lot of pre-setup to be done before battle. i heard though, it's hands-off once the battle starts (un-homeworld like)
i'll update the wiki to show the complete pack pricing so it's at the top.
