Is this the most expensive game ever?

Please note that the current actual pricing to purchase the game is $45 for the single-player campaign (Squadron 42), $45 for the MMO portion (Star Citizen), or $60 to purchase them together. All other packages that are listed, such as the various ships, are there to allow backers to help fund the game further.

Also, CIG is currently streaming live gameplay from Gamescom, and will be doing a presentation on Friday where they plan to show off upcoming aspects such as procedurally-generated planets (and possibly the Star Marine competitive FPS game mode).
