No ship should cost any real world money to buy. If the stuff you can buy in a game with real world money can give you an advantage over other players or unlock parts of the game faster than players who don’t pay real money for it, then it’s meaningless to say the game itself is “only 45$”. The ships make up a huge chunk of the game and you can pay 48k to obtain them all immediately, or rather, not you because statistically speaking you’re probably poor, so you don’t get the same game as them for 45 dollars, not unless you want to spend a fucking loooooooooooooong time grinding in-game (based on what I’ve seen the time needed to grind for even one high class ship is ridiculous). Meanwhile richer players get to fly in circles around you in their better more expensive ships from the start. You get access to less of the game than them.

stown@sedd.it 10 months agoIt costs 48k for every ship in the game. The most expensive single ship that I’ve seen was about 1.2k.

1.2k … for some bits and bytes.
I know professional software licenses that are cheaper.

And yes it’s utterly ridiculous, and I just wanted to take a shot at Autodesk because screw them lol.
