I wouldn't call it the biggest scam in history... but yes, it's a pretty big scam.

i used to say the same thing but i think it's going to be a beast in another 10 yrs. i am surprised they have as much as they do already. game looks good, and i will give it a go n another 5 years once the base game is fully realized.

i give them credit for always updating and keeping their users informed.

looks better than 2077, though the actual game play isn't as good. give it time, i mean i haven't spent a dime on the game..... just waiting a while longer.

Why does this game have insane micro transactions? Will they disappear when it's complete? Why does its community defend them but attack EA?

This game impressed me when No Man's Sky launched and failed to live up to its expectations. Back then it looked promising. Bit ver the years i lost insterest in it and where no man sky improvd so much since then that u can easily pick that up instead of this crap. I paid 60$ for this game and it punch back at you in the face with all these buyable super expensive ships in contrast to nothing special going on in exploration aspect of the game.

One of the ships I saw was $750, that's more than the real car I own. Game sounds great, looks great but something just feels off.
Not saying it's a scam but I'm just gonna wait till about 2020 when it goes into beta.

All the ships in game can be earned by playing the game. The people dropping hundreds of dollars into it are funding the development and getting a little head start when the game is released.

You'd think people would smell something as soon as prices went over $20, but no.

When morons kept buying them.

I know, when they sat there in their dev meeting how the hell did they think these prices were acceptable. The games already had 120million in funding. The problem is also on the gamers who will purchase these ships etc.
No wonder the devs and publishers think they can get away with it.
Its the same with the price hike in games, the standard edition is no longer the full game, so its the deluxe edition @£79.99 now which is what the standard edition used to be, black ops and rdr2 spring to mind off the store.

Well You know GTA 6 is like 2 billion dollar. So I don tknow why you trippin

The money is allocated between two games, most of it goes to Squadron 42.

What, you don't want shoe cleaner that costs more than the shoe?

About 960 million people that’s who 😂

Or you know, 96,000 😂

"A decade?"

This started before No Man's Sky was announced.

2011. It's been a decade and a half.

Shameless plug for NMS: you can build all of Star Citizens' ships in NMS for free. The only difference is that one of these games has launched...a decade ago. And the new update allows you toto capture creatures and battle them in an arena.
