I’ve liked both her AX based stuff and her stuff getting aquatinted in SC. Frankly the hostility shown and the ranting on and on over some other platform doing it some other way is a bit weird. I’ve played with a number of people that have put in less than $100 flying any of the newer ships. Its choice if you want to buy or not. Good grief.

It's fine if you are cool with it, but if so you should never criticize the likes of EA. The massive and never before seen p2w approach and the insane changing of the user agreements (literally taking away rights users paid for) is deeply anti-consumerism. Feel free to embrace it if you want, but it's fundamentally immoral.
Actually I certainly can criticize EA. At no time in SC am I required to pay money to keep playing or get access to basic services in the ‘game’. I don’t need to buy RNG loot boxes to equip the ships or my character and credits are not as easy as ED but not at all hard to come by. I can start with nothing and crew other ships or take delivery missions to get a boot strap. I don’t know why you lump being able to purchase a hull in as exactly the same thing as EA constant micro transactions.
Im afraid I do not see the purchase of game license coming with a game asset as ‘immorality’ so we’re not going to come to agreement there.

I must say, one redeeming feature of ED is the lack of P2W, the cosmetics are too expensive though.
And what a wonderful Honeymoon it is, what can I say I'm in love....Come back to me next year, when you realize what most of us, and her, already know.
Enjoy the Star Citizen honeymoon! Don't spend anything despite 'fully buying into the innovative vision of CIG' you can thank me later.
In EA's games all things can be earned through gameplay, yet EA is bad.
In CIG's alpha most things can be earned through gameplay, yet CIG is good.
Both use Pay2Win mechanics.
Interesting.
Let me know when you've purchased your Javelin just by playing the game rather than spending literally hundreds or thousands of $$$.
Its the most blatant and insane form of p2w. You may like it, but please don't pretend it's not. Add to it entire game loops are locked behind specific ships costing hundreds of dollars and it's weird to brush it under the carpet and hope people dont see it.
Btw,I think it's less immoral to sell a €4 lootbox that the player instantly receives than a $400 ship that still doesn't exist years after selling it. But that too could be just me.
That's the lamest excuse Chris gave and the backers blindly repeat.
I spend a lot of money and shoot you. You have no chance so you die. I win. Pretending there is a philosophical discussion to be had about whether being blown up by someone who spend tens of thousands on ships is 'losing' or not is pure cringe.

I'll never get tired of SC fans defending the indefensible.

Out of interest, what makes it a mile deep to you?
It happens in communities of all Pay2Win games. Instead of just accepting that said games are Pay2Win and enjoying them anyway, they try to redefine well-known definitions, argue semantics, and tie themselves in disingenuous knots.

So nothing but a juvenile meme is your answer? Totally credible...

72 pages too late... Bottom Hat has first dibs on all stuphs. But Drew will probably be back anyway, depending on what FDev do over the next 6 months.
