Did you just compare Battlefront 2's Pay2Win with Elite's optional cosmetics?
Proof Warzone Is A Pay-To-Win Game - SVG
People tend to really hate pay-to-win mechanics in games. It just sours the experience for many people. Now, a Call of Duty: Warzone player has managed to pull off a rather ingenious method of winning a match that pretty much counts as paying to win. However, unlike other scenarios, it feels earned.www.svg.com
Meanwhile, looks like Elite is playable on phones now!
EA fixed their cosmetics, too. But again, what else would I expect from a jannie?

EA's janitor fixed their Battlefront 2 Pay2Win problems? A true hero!
It wasnt the Janitor, a day before release a Disney Executite Called EA, then the lootboxes were pulled from the game before it even launched. It was really surprising.

Mediocre quality is becoming the de facto standard. Easier to make slightly different low poly clipping stuff and poor textures and sell them.
The german text just says "Use the Pirate Faction colours to show your opponent you have no sense of humour"
I don't especially like microtransactions but I have found that I've obtained paint jobs just by logging in (via Frontier events such as the ones around xmas time) and just playing the game, it's enough that I've got enough paint jobs to feel my ship looks different to the stock colours without spending any real world cash
You can pick up ED for what? £10 in the Steam sale with Horizons and that's everything unless you really want a vanity item immediatly. Not the most consumer unfriendly business model or maybe I'm wrong? I would be suprised if Frontier made enough money through those sales alone to fund development.
I have so far not heard of any court cases or instances of people spending loans on paint jobs in ED, I have however heard of people spending student loans and admiting adictive tendancies to buying certain in game items in a certain other "it's fine it's just an Alpha" title.

Har Har! Nun her mit den Penunzen! Die wahren Freibeuter fahren auffa Ostsee!
You forgot Space Engine... It even has excellent VR support too!There are many space sims available now: Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky, Infinity Battlescape, X4 Foundations, Space Engineers, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Lots of choice available

not a game either
Perhaps because some of us pretty much expected it and no amount of complaining will change it.
I'd rather spend my efforts on banging on about offline costs for carriers, because at least with that there is a chance of it being changed.
At the end of the day, you can get them for free if you wait to earn the ARX, although i did blanche at the cost of the detailing. Close to 5000 for engines... but strangely, paintjobs costs around half that. Bizarre pricing.
It has a space ship too...
It also appears to be complete...
I suppose it all depends on which direction you approach it for it to be considered a game or not
I have been visiting forums from time to time in past half of a year and i thought frontier went from multiple FC models to single to speed up delayed delivery, then they announced FC ladout customisation.
And cant recall where frontier said that ahole FC models will be purchasable. Without models everything is allright - we have 1 FC but we get update earlier. Fair enough.
And now it looks like they have already bunch of models ready. Wouldnt it be better to just have possibility to sell them like regular ships? Nautilus would have better fuel efficency, victory would have more pads etc etc.
"Plenty of people want to support game" - If people would want to support they would buy stuff anyway. Changing paintjobs every week or something.
How about having possibility to buy anaconda only and others with arx only? Plenty of people want to support game after all.

I guess most people will buy one engine colour, but might get several PJs / shipkits - so they price to get those repeat orders. After all, they can push out a new PJ every week - but they'll soon run out of colours
yamiks is already doing his job about offline upkeep. But this certain topic wasnt mentioned enough yet.
