Is this game just one giant cash grab?

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Star citizen development is a hilarious read, the game has been in development since 2012 and barely has anything to show for it besides milking players for money to allegedly fund the development of the game

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org -2 points 2 months ago

Not really, as these prices are just a way to continue to fund the ongoing development of this game (and you get some paints in this case out of it). Doesn't even have to be new cash, as you can use already spent money on it.

Man, the festival of entitlement on Spectrum sparked by this and adding Idris to Wikelo is kinda crazy. I knew some people assigned a lot of importance to the "exclusivity" of certain items but seeing the scale of people disappointed about losing their "special status" goes beyond my expectations.

It's virtual assets in a video game not an exotic sports car or an 18th century painting! Sometimes I really don't understand SC players.

Yeah, those 2950 paints are certainly tempting.

Oh how I wish the Valkyrie paint would be applicable to the Asgard or Paladin. Because is there an actual reason to fly the Valkyrie?
