Console players do NOT pay around 50 bucks for their games ?
Have fun
Yeah exactly
They pay 50 for a game and not 200-2500 for virtual items.
Funny ... most of the almost 900.000 SC backers paid less than 50 bucks. The SC virtual items you mentioned are not required to play the game. Only the basic game is .. currently available for 33 dollar. It was available for as low as 25 dollar at one point.
Many console games have in game shops too - so the console gamers can also pay 200-2500 for virtual items, if they want. >>>the console microtransaction market is growing, reaching approximately 23 million consumers>>>

I guess this does not take into consideration that a lot of console owners also have pc's and buy games for both. This is a very gray area at best.

Don't know, tbh I like my old X-wing vs TIE Fighter sim better then SC atm. Flies better, better action. But who knows, in a year or 2-3 when this game is released it might be good.

Yeah except for ... console players will never be so gullible to buy a ship for 2500$.
Hence why this company needs to discredit them - if not to say openly trash talk and insult them.
They are just no potential market for this kind of scam.

SC is by far the best spacesim without open space, without short loading times, without properly working ships but with absolutely nothing to do EVER!
I'd give them at least another year without even talking about this joke of a programming example ...
It just wouldn't be the internet without all the moral indignation over things that were clearly meant in a humorous vein.
Godspeed to those who eternally don't quite get the jokes in life.
state of the game so far.
here is a decent video of a player in Battle Royal.
At least for me the video does not work.
If one checks the URL, its "Youtube" and "undefined".
I suggest to post the URL as text too.
Have fun
