For context, here in Canada, 5k Zen costs me 70 dollars plus change. So if you were so desperate for this entire pack and had to have it for 60k zen, that's C$840.

Just. No.

[Chris Wilkinson]

It'd cost me £175.98.... they must think their players are made of money

[Sul-Matuul]

Their business model currently simply disgusts me.

Pure unadulterated greed and sadly too many idiots willing to throw money at them for some pixels.

I’m done with this crap; it doesn’t even feel like a game anymore; just an online shopping experience.

[ForTheGamer]

Wow... Just... That's insane. Discounted price or not.

[Arno12]

Nonsense like this is why I stopped playing.

Where are people seeing this Z60,000 for everything mega-bundle? I'm looking for news about it and I don't see it.

--- EDIT ---
Never mind. I found it.

We're adding a special version of the pack on PC! The Mudd's MEGA Into Darkness and Beyond Bundle is a one stop purchase to obtain all eight items in the pack at once! The pack contains all eight items, no choices needed. It will also launch on 6/10, for 60000 Zen, but will be 50% off until 6/24 at 10am PT. Here's how it works:

• The MEGA Into Darkness and Beyond Bundle will appear in Midd's[sic] Market at the same time as the Into Darkness and Beyond Choice Pack
• This is a once per account purchase. When purchased, it will disappear from the store. If you'd like, you can still purchase the Into Darkness and Beyond Pack for more of the non-ship items.
• Purchasing the MEGA Into Darkness and Beyond Bundle will drop an item in your inventory, that you can unpack to receive the items.
• If you wish to buy both the MEGA Into Darkness and Beyond Bundle and the Into Darkness and Beyond Choice Pack, you must purchase the bundle first. Any purchase of the Choice Pack will cause the Bundle to disappear from the store.

At 50% off, that's still Z30,000 (or $240). It's one $200 and two $20 purchases to make Z30,000.
And while it's no AS crazy as $530 for 60,000 Zen, it's still a crazy amount of cash.

[Sunfire]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no.

[Sorotia]

Cynical mode on:

I'll take a guess and say the pack isn't selling in the numbers they want and this an attempt to drum up some business with the extra shiny and a dash of FOMO.

If you still enjoy the game, fair play to you, but it's finally reached mobile game territory with the constant events and demands for money.

Why I say STO is basically a gacha game now, except even some of the worst gacha games have better rates than the gamble boxes in STO

[Pedigo]

It certainly feels like they're squeezing as much money out of this game as they can while contributing very little in the way of actual improvements, new content, or even addressing bugs and annoyances that have existed for years. It actually feels like we're going backwards at this point. Cryptic is quickly eroding any good will and enthusiasm left in their userbase while demonstrating no interest in evolving the game.

[Jestersmith]

[Sorotia]

Yup, this is the kind of emergency they work on with haste!

[Sul-Matuul]

Yup, this is the kind of emergency they work on with haste!

Those Cryptic coffers aren't going to fill themselves are they?

EMERGENCY POWER TO CASH GRAB!!!!
