It is basic logic on how money works. People spend retarded amounts of money on housing shit. If you need sources look at Wildstar and Archeage.
I can't wait until 6 months after this game launches to point out all your retarded fanboi comments.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!

It's also their money to spend, some of us have money.
I don't know what's worse fanboi's or people like you, who are seemingly obsessed with something you don't even like.
I do like it and I anticipate putting many hours in to it. That also doesn't mean I am stupid and believe they won't go for money. I also don't take every word a developer says during the early stages of development as gospel.

It would be silly for them not to. The voxel engine lets them sand box the hell out of your private spaces so its a great thing to do cash store stuff for things that don't have much if any impact on actual player vs player content that is still stuff that people have shown a great willingness to plop cash for.
Now that I think about it, ACE could make buckets of money by releasing the EK module early as private instances for players to dick around with their Kickstarter rewards and make additional purchases. Like the Star Citizen hangar, admiring your shiny toys even if you can't use them yet is a guaranteed route to easy cash, if they need it.

Yup with a side benefit of testing their netcode and voxel code for performance in an area that is largely static without combat or NPC to worry about.

Make sure to charge for open beta access and then sell your company to russians.

While the trend towards pay2beta is distasteful in general as nearly all mmo's are taking this road, it's a somewhat reasonable reward for a game that relies on crowdfunding to even be made at all. Arguments can be made supporting pay2beta to ensure a large portion of your testers have a vested financial interest in the product. As long as there's a good mix between fanboi's excusing every flaw in between salivating developers' nut sacks, delusionals expecting their every whim to be considered top priority because they paid for beta, and real gamers with a desire to see the game actually succeed, you should be ok. as long as a certain phase before open beta is available to players who have not paid a dime exists for those players to give their feedback it should be ok. "open beta, no more wipes" are really just soft launches and don't really count.
A studio that has (had) the financial backing of a major conglomerate straight up selling alpha access to a "game" that will rely on those paid players to build the assets which will be used by the studio to later build the actual game that they originally signed up for is just plain distasteful in every way. It would be like Microsoft going to kickstarter to build the next xbox. you have the money assholes, stop ripping off your fans by monetizing everything.
