Here come the whales!

I received a closed beta key for City of Steam, in time for the beta session starting today. And while looking through their website I stumbled upon the page offering collaborator packs, selling both beta keys and various advantages like virtual currency for the final game. And what I found notable was that there were packs for up to $ 500 on offer. Even higher, the Kickstarter page for Elite: Dangerous offers advantages for backers up to $ 5,000. And the $ 5,000 pack is marked as "sold out"
