Monetization

Our core philosophy for Galaxy is to create a game that is incredibly fun for both new players and experienced players alike, that can also be enjoyed for years to come. With that in mind, here are our core beliefs when it comes to monetizing the game:

• The core game loop is free. You should not have to spend money to simply enjoy drafting cards and slamming them into one another.
• Some game pieces (cards) can be paid, but they become free for everyone after 2 months.
• Cosmetic-only upgrades can remain paid.

Galaxy Pass

• The primary way to support the game is the monthly Galaxy Pass which provides immediate access to a new premium captain, multiple premium cosmetics, and a large number of bonus card unlocks.

Premium Captains

• Most months new premium captains are introduced into the game. These are available to purchase with gems.
• Premium captains (including the Galaxy Pass captain) become free after two months.
• If purchased with gems, the captains will also come with their 12 card starter deck unlocked.

Theme Decks

• To help new players play with new cards quickly, we offer pre-designed theme decks for each captain available for gems.
• The cost of a theme deck will automatically reduce accordingly based on how many of the 12 cards you already own (If you own all 12 already, it will show as free).
• Purchasing the theme deck will immediately unlock all the cards for that captain.

Premium Cosmetics

• Some captains have a premium "alternate-art" skin that changes the captain's look.
• Captain skins do not alter the gameplay of the captain
• Currently it is not possible to switch the skin/art used for a captain after equipped (this is on the roadmap coming soon).

Ways to earn Gems

• Purchasing from the in-game store.
• Claiming free inside of each newsletter issue.
• Watching streamers/youtubers for regular giveaways.
• With each card unlock reward after collecting every card in the game.
