Just noticed this this morning on Gamersgate. It's $50USD to buy, however, they credit you back $10 in blue coins, and if you have an "Autumn Gift" coupon, that's another $10 off.. so effectively it's $30 USD.. I've jumped in at this price.. It's pretty much $90 everywhere else.. Also bear in mind that it is a pre-order, so I'm unsure when we'll get keys.. it could be on release day or a day or two before.
Release: 24th Oct
Blue Coins are Gamersgate currency, so you can spend $10 on any game you like, or buy more coins for something greater than $10.

Sid Meier's Civilization®: Beyond Earth™ is a new science-fiction-themed entry into the award-winning Civilization series.

As the human race struggles to recover, the re-developed nations focus their resources on deep space travel to chart a new beginning for mankind.
As part of an expedition sent to find a home beyond Earth, you will write the next chapter for humanity as you lead your people into a new frontier and create a new civilization in space. Explore and colonize an alien planet, research new technologies, amass mighty armies, build incredible Wonders and shape the face of your new world. As you embark on your journey you must make critical decisions. From your choice of sponsor and the make-up of your colony, to the ultimate path you choose for your civilization, every decision opens up new possibilities.
