MODERATORS
The feature creep is a feature, not a bug. They want to be in a perpetual state of early access. They realize that it brings them more money than actually releasing the game and everybody being disappointed.
Just think of the hype of Cyperpunk 2077 before launch and after launch. Before launch, people would be willing to sacrifice their first-born child to play the game. After launch, the hype completely evaporated into scorn.
Oh absolutely. If we're being 100% honest, they'll never release because that'll kill their golden goose. Pledge ships are only supposed to exist during early access and go away after release. Why release when you can instead churn out ship packs worth thousands or even TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS that schmucks will actually fucking pay for?
Try $48,000 USD only AFTER you've spent over $10,000 to be able to purchase every ship (175)
Jaysus. I can't even find the numbers anymore. I used to go to the pledge website and just point at the numbers when people tried to defend pledges, but it looks like they just took them off the site unless you're logged in or something. Dunno, the site is a right bitch to navigate.
Edit: nevermind, think they've smoothed it out and I can in fact find prices now. This will be fun.
