I asked why they should, you haven't answered that.
But of course that's a rethorical question: every company sets the price for their product however they want. As long as they aren't breaking any law, there is nothing wrong about their pricing, sales or marketting policies. You are free to make you own assessment regarding the product's quality with relation to its price, like every consumer should, but to claim that Frontier aren't supposed to be able to sell whatever additional content for their product for whatever additional price is ridiculous. I can't remember Frontier advertising free of charge paintjobs, so who cares if this is a "full" price or F2P game? If you want the paintjobs, and Frontier don't want to give them away for free, you buy them, you grind them, or you make do without them. There's no should involved, it's a simple price/value proposition.
*Checks punchcardHonestly, do some people walk into a coffee shop and expect that they'll just get a free coffee for showing up?
What an analogy! People paid full price for the cup of coffee, so they are allowed to drink it without paying any extra money.Honestly, do some people walk into a coffee shop and expect that they'll just get a free coffee for showing up?
You'll be pleased to hear that we're about to begin development in earnest on the next major milestone of my annoying signature. We'll have more to announce in the coming weeks.After the next patch is not good enough! You should do it now!
Kaocraft: Get that sig out of our faces!
No it is not. Nobody is going to consistently come even close to the cap on a weekly basis.It also really doesn't help when he's grossly exaggerating the actual time to obtain these things. If a ship kit is 13k arx that's 32 weeks of just playing the game normally and presto, every year you get a free ship kit and paint job worth of the stuff like it's a christmas present or annual bonus.
Are you pretending you cannot play Elite Dangerous without paying additional money?What an analogy! People paid full price for the cup of coffee, so they are allowed to drink it without paying any extra money.
I have, mostly just playing on Sunday afternoon and Friday night.No it is not. Nobody is going to consistently come even close to the cap on a weekly basis.

Did you really think you had a good point there?
Where did I say anything like that? Where does Elite Dangerous do anything remotely similar to that?What you're saying is that the shop asks me to leave few sips unless I pay extra. So technically I can drink the coffee but not the whole cup.
Sorry to say, but yes, some do...and more than a coffee...it's the generation of instagramers, so called "influencers" and just entitled people who expect free stuff all the time.Honestly, do some people walk into a coffee shop and expect that they'll just get a free coffee for showing up?
And if they want more things added to their breakfast experience usually they need to go back and pay for it. Sometimes they have creamers and stuff free but if you want a scone you're gonna pay.What an analogy! People paid full price for the cup of coffee, so they are allowed to drink it without paying any extra money.
I suggest you go back to school, if you have ever gone to one (since you resorted to personal attacks ... see that's easy). Arguing that I can technically play ED without paying extra is like drinking any amount of the coffee cup but not the whole cup. These are part of the game and accordingly I should not be charged to pay for them or do some work for the coffee shop owner to be allowed to drink the rest.Where did I say anything like that?

Work on your reading comprehension. Stay in school kids.

We can argue forever with these analogies tbh. I can argue that if I buy a coffee I can get sugar and skins are sugar.And if they want more things added to their breakfast experience usually they need to go back and pay for it. Sometimes they have creamers and stuff free but if you want a scone you're gonna pay.
The game is currently giving you free creamers that you can save up and trade in for a scone.

Point is the analogy is stupid all around.We can argue forever with these analogies tbh. I can argue that if I buy a coffee I can get sugar and skins are sugar.
It all depends on whether you consider skins an extra feature (I do not and a lot of people do not either) as the game does not come with any skins except the default one. I am not sure if you read my previous posts but the time requirements to get them are insane if you compare it most games out there (some are even free to play).Point is the analogy is stupid all around.
In reality extra functional features cost money.
Of course it's a feature.It all depends on whether you consider skins a feature (I do not and a lot of people do not either). I am not sure if you read my previous posts but the time requirements to get them are insane if you compare it most games out there (some are even free to play).
We agree to disagree though.
And Nonfunctional things too. I want to buy a car. Black paint included. If I want that car in metallic red, I have to PAY for it...EXTRA.Point is the analogy is stupid all around.
But if you insist: they aren't gonna let you trade in your sugar packets for a scone. Arx is the sugar that does let you do it. So what's the issue?
