Semi-serious question, but which news network would run a story on this? Some bullshit gaming journalism outlet? Nah, they busy kissing ass of anything ever made. Maybe any of the mainstream news outlets? Nah, they busy grinding out exp on political hit pieces 24/7. Basically, nobody cares about this, and why should they? What's the story? Idiot gamers spend a ton of money propping up a con man who promises the first quadruple-A online gaming world(s)? If that were news, McQuaid would still be in trouble over Vanguard, not making a game that may end up releasing before Star Citizen, and with 1/200 millionth the budget.

I think I am in for $40 in the very early days, filtered all their emails to spam a long while ago. I forgot we even had an active thread for it.

There are no people that aren't part of the game industry, or hardcore gamers, that take the industry even remotely serious.
That is why they have so many complete idiots making dubious calls, terrible practices, an insane amount of missed opportunities. Other industries are strictly regulated and / or closely watched, but in the land of gaming anything goes.
Bobby Kotick, the big man at Activision-Netease, was a director at yahoo from 2003 to 2008. You know, there very same yahoo that struggled its way through 2008 and had to lay off a ton of people. He bought 25% of Activision assets in the early 90s, and shortly after made it to CEO, after achieving jack fuck in other industries.
Literally a college drop-out with zero career achievements as the major shotcaller of one of the biggest gaming companies globally.

The guy has skills. Don´t mean its great, but you have to admire him in some ways. Making money by fooling idiots is an time honored profession.

Free play week from Nov 23 to Nov 30...
It's funny that it's the same week that X4:Foundations is being released, but I'm sure it's just a coincidence (or maybe Egosoft planed it that way, months ago).

Preliminary in-game currency ship prices are now active. It's difficult to tell how many in-game credits can be made per hour, a quick search got anywhere from 1400/h to 8000/h. They have a huge incentive to make ships extremely expensive with in game money in order to sell more with real money; at least until it gets closer to release.

I Remeber there supposedly being permaloss in this. How does that work with pledge ships and those sort of credit prices?
So there's insurance for ships? What's the % of base cost? Trying to get a sense of how it compares to EVE.
