Lifetime Founder to be or not to be?

i cant even find the game in steam........so how did you even purchase it....

lol true how did you get it? or you did not yet, you cannot get the lifetime founders in steam.

But you still have i think 2-3 more days to get it through Stardock Store, so go for it.

No I got it through Steam there is a 135 member Community Group towards the game.

I can't find it on Steam either. Nor can I remember from what site I acquired the game.

Ashes of the Singularity Releases on Steam Early Access on October 22, 2015

Stardock Announces Early Access Release Date for its Ground-Breaking RTS Game, Ashes of the Singularity

Plymouth, MI. - October 13, 2015 - Stardock announced that the alpha of its upcoming massive scale real-time strategy game, Ashes of the Singularity, will launch on Steam Early Access for $39.99 on October 22, 2015. This 20% discount off the list price of $49.99 will be available for a limited time. The Early Access version will include several different planets to battle over as the Post-Human faction. Both the single-player AI and multiplayer settings will be available for players to choose from.

Ashes of the Singularity aims to deliver a real time strategy game with an unprecedented scale by being the first native 64-bit RTS game, as well as utilizing a new 3D engine (Nitrous) that fully leverages modern multi-core PCs. The game is also the first game to support Microsoft's new DirectX 12 API, which will enable the game to deliver immense world-wide battles and high visual fidelity for each unit.

"Previously, RTS games had to choose between great visuals or lots of units, due to being limited to 32-bit and DirectX 9 based engines," said Brad Wardell, President & CEO of Stardock. "It's one of the reasons that RTS games have kind of hit a wall these past few years. The RTS could be pretty or be epic, but not both. Thanks to the Nitrous engine, we can support tens of thousands of units acting independently as part of a worldwide battle with a distinct visual style."

Set in the distant future, the player starts on a contested planet with a single headquarters. The player must gather resources, build factories, research new technologies, manage a global economy, manufacture massive armies of machine-based constructs, and annihilate all opposition.

"We are very excited to go into early access," said Wardell. "Given how ambitious this game is, we're going to need all the help we can get from our player base to reach our goal of making this the most epic, large-scale real time strategy game ever."

Besides being the first 64-bit RTS and being the first to use DirectX 12, Ashes of the Singularity also includes the first asynchronous multi-core real-time AI.  

"While we expect the game to have a strong multiplayer community, we are adamant that the single player game have intelligent and challenging computer opponents to play against," said Wardell. "We have team games with friends versus the AI, free for all, and every other combination in place already to help begin testing this part of the game early.  This isn't one of those games where the AI is an afterthought."

Ashes of the Singularity is the first game to utilize the Nitrous 3D engine developed by Oxide Games. This new engine includes a new type of rendering system that has more in common with movie CGI effects than games.

"Nitrous basically does what CGI in movies has done, except in real-time," said Wardell. "What was considered the realm of pre-rendered CGI in the 90s is now something we can do on the fly."

Ashes of the Singularity will be available on Steam for Early Access on October 22. For more information, please visit www.ashesgame.com.

Ah found it in my account order History:

Order Date: June 21 2015

Ashes of the Singularity Lifetime Founders Edition.

I have the receipt that shows me everything I need to know.

I remember receiving a special email announcing the game. I purchased it through the link therein.  Please forgive this senile old man's forgetfulness

yeah..the 135 members is an unofficial group for the founders..ashes cant be bought on steam only thru stardock until the 22nd...so your just finding out now you had the game? odd

You purchased through Stardock and received the Steam key. Activating through Steam, which is how it shows up in your account history.

How do you get to me not knowing I owned the game from what I wrote?

I have been playing AotS since June 21. I just forgot if I was a founder or not, because I did not remember how I purchased the game.

I don't know how you spend your time but I take care of my family and career, which are important. Forgetting how I bought a video game is not important, hence it slipped my mind. I own over 400 games on Steam add in the hundreds of Playstation and XBox games on top of that and, well I hope you can understand why I might not remember how I bought one of them.

aah because at first it was mentioned that it was acquired a month ago or so but then you pointed  out it purchased i June..that's how i came into that conclusion..sorry :-/

damn it, I was ready to upgrade to a lifetime founders, but I only get paid next thursday. Nevermind, ill just purchase the dlc's seperatly

if there's any chance to get it do it..its not just dlc ..3 expansions also.

I would have, although it was out of my timeframe and there was nothing I could do about it. I don't mind purchasing them seperatly when they hit steam

One question....

Where is your founders badge? Legitimate founders all have one... 

I think the devs have answered that above. He used paypal and it was associated with his other account.

You talking about the little blue round "Ashes of the Singularity Founder" Badge?

If there is some other badge it does not say how to get it on my.....one sec looking up my order....Holy Moley!? I paid $105.99 for this game! Sorry forgot how much it was, anyway if there is some other loot etc to claim I have not received any instructions.

I suppose I am entitled to whatever the "Lifetime Edition" issues to it's founders.
