I think i'd need a crisp franklin to sit down and do a similar play through for an hour, and even then i'd probably lose the hundo by falling asleep and failing to meet the full hour.

FML for supporting this game. The paypal rep even laughed at me when I asked for a refund and called me an idiot for spending money on this POS. At least I have my Orion!!

star citizen in its early alpha stage is already the perfect tax simulator, you work all day and most of your money goes god knows where without you ever noticing significant improvement or return
their matrix is so perfect, people don't even understand they are in it
it never was about a space game

Hahaha, they are literally selling the virtual version of virtual lands. This is 100x worse than EA imo.

So they realized they hit the limit of people willing to buy imaginary space ships for a game that doesn't even exist, so then they had the brilliant idea to sell those same people imaginary land for a game that doesn't even exist.
Why can't I come up with shit like this?

I laughed out loud once I clicked the link and saw people are paying $50 for that. I mean, at least sell people nice looking land and not some desert shit hole..

Sorry for quoting myself but they just broke 170 million raised. I would say is safe to say that they are not running out of money and could theoretically keep development going indefinitely if amount of incoming capital stays the same...

They do an Anniversary "sale" every November around that time. Nothing is ever discounted, they just make unavailable ships available for purchase again so people snatch them up. Some ships actually go up in price from year to year depending on how large they end up becoming after they're rendered vs what they expect them to be at the concept stage.

I feel that with every new sale, they are undermining an important pillar of this MMO, which is an interesting Economy, based on delving, looting and salvaging materials from the Universe. All the rest ties into this: exploration, transportation, manufacturing and the dangers that come with these, both PvE and PvP.
No matter how often they keep saying that "this item/ship/land-claim can also be earned in-game, current sales are just needed for the development', I feel that once the game release, 90% of the " from rags to riches" part is done for and the player population will already entirely consist of "haves". As opposed to the few "have-not newbies" that still haven't heard of this game and are lured in by some big advertising campaign at release.
Maybe not, maybe the lure of yet another, cooler ship will be enough still to get the Economy rolling but they should seriously stop saturating the Economy with all this high end stuff already.
