Oh and as an aside - just checking out the FAQ at the bottom of the
KS page, point 26 specifically states:
26. As an Alpha Wolf Backer, what does it mean to get “top tier cloud service for the life of your account”?
As an Alpha Wolf Backer, you will receive the highest tier of cloud service available and this will be available to you for free for the life of your account. There will be no on-going, monthly cost to utilize the Realm Works cloud, so you'll realize all the advantages it provides to you and your players without any costs. This is a Kickstarter-only perk, as we have no plans to allow the purchase of lifetime cloud support in any other way. It is a unique opportunity available only to Backers, and is similar to a “lifetime subscription”. You're essentially pre-paying at one price to help get the Kickstarter funded now, after which you won't have to pay for the cloud service again.
The “free for life” cloud service is account-specific. If you close or delete your Realm Works account, the perk would expire and could not be associated with a different account at a later time. This option also cannot be transferred to others once it is established.
Having said that, I
personally (as an Alpha Wolf backer) don't have a problem with LWD offering it after release, but potentially other backers might have a problem with it. Given this statement though it should probably NOT be priced below the $250 that Alpha Wolves had to come up with during the KS campaign.
I guess we all just have to wait and see what LWD offer when firm pricing options are announced.
Peace.
