If you just can’t get enough of that Star Trek Online and want to get all of the exclusive perks available to lifetime subscriptions like playing a Liberated Borg or being allowed to actually name your captain Jean-Luc Picard, you get to do so at a discount for a little while. (Disclaimer: There may actually be other, better perks.) The lifetime subscription is on sale for half-price (so $150) through 3:00 p.m. EST on Saturday, November 11th, and then it’ll still be on sale for $199.99 through December 14th. You’ll have to act fast for the larger discount, but the smaller one will last a fair bit longer still.
Of course, it’s worth noting that developer Cryptic has just been hit with some layoffs owing to its parent company Embracer’s ongoing meltdown; Cryptic reps have said the staff reductions will not affect the MMORPGs, but you’d be forgiven for being just a little bit suspicious and leery at the moment. Factor that into your pricing evaluation, although you might want to do that quickly since the better discount is only available for a limited time.
