Support

Active Strike is free and stays free. Nothing you can buy changes the game's balance; the Reddit version and the browser version are the same game with the same leaderboard. What support pays for is the machines: the domain, the server that holds your cloud saves, and the mirror for players in Russia.

Running costs

Support opens soon

The payment side is being set up. When it opens, this is what will be here, at these prices, in US dollars everywhere:

• Supporter pack, one-off, US$4.99. A skin set for the helicopter, a supporter badge beside your name on the leaderboard, and your name on a wall in the Base. Redeemed once with a code, honoured on every build that talks to the save server. Cosmetic only.
• Keep the servers on, US$2.99 a month. The meter above moves when you do.
• The novel as an ebook and the audiobook in the stores, for people who prefer to own a copy.
• A tip jar, for everyone who prefers no account anywhere.

For Russian players a separate page will take support in roubles.

Until then, the most useful thing you can do costs nothing: play, post your best wave on r/EarthLiberation, and join the list so you hear when support opens.
