Hi there,
Today we're announcing that Startup Company will go slightly up in price, to reflect the long way we've come since we first released the game back in August 2017.
Since the launch of the game we've been selling Startup Company for $9.99 (or your regional equivalent) and have been putting out countless updates, bug fixes, introduced new features and implemented requested gameplay features by the community. Since the official early access release back in 2017 we've updated the game at least ~80 times.
On July 19, 2019 the price of Startup Company will be increased to $12.99.
We wanted to communicate this to the community in advance, so that people who are considering to get Startup Company (or for their friends as a gift) have a chance to snatch it up for the ''old'' price.
Does this mean that we're done with Startup Company? The short answer: NO!
We've still got a lot of features planned for Startup Company and we're obviously going to listen closely to what the community wants as well. Startup Company will not leave the Early Access program of Steam just yet, as we want to make sure that potential players are still aware of the fact that we're still implementing new features which can sometimes result in massive gameplay overhauls.
Feel free to join our Discord community (link provided below, just click the image) and we'll be happy to answer any questions you might have!
All the best,
Jonas
