On the one hand, $35 is far more conservative a price than I would assume.

On the other hand, I could have smoke blown up my rear end for far cheaper.

I feel like they're going for quantity here rather than price, at $35 the shitizens who aren't totally disillusioned yet will probably still buy a few. With more people starting to go 'hey wait a minute' after the ToS change etc, I doubt they'd manage to sell them for the extortionate prices of previous jpegs

I'm looking forward to CIG's first mystery box/gachapon/gambling crate on the cash shop. I'm honestly surprised they haven't done it yet. Probably because the best and most educated vp of marketing and business woman in the world since she was a little girl is just as poo poo at her job as lesnick is.

I am calling on bullshit. Having a stripper blow smoke up your rear end is going to run you at very least $40. And that's at the shittiest dive in town.

I know they get tokens for re-melting ships or something, and that bought ships have the long term insurance where it can be infinitely replaced, unlike regular ships when the game comes out (which is the backbone of their entire scam.)

Are "LTI Tokens" where you can melt a ship down and apply the insurance to something else? Or like get $35 in credit + access to an older LTI ship?

If so they are basically just monetizing the "long term insurance" and you'll see a sales explosion because of that. Dragonfly will probably be the best sale they have had in awhile if it's just $35 access to some other rare autism chariots.

At least 900 years in the future we haven't made any progression on technology past changes that are, coincidentally, easy to render in a game engine, like stubby little wings that retract six inches.

Instead of any kind of actual "compact" "storage" system, the civilization that can harvest and colonize gas giants can only decrease the volume of a space motorcycle by 25% when retracting little wings closer to the main body.

When they say token they really mean ship/bike whatever. CIG lets you change a ship into another ship (most of them don't exist in any form anyway so why not?) if you give them more money. If the jpg has LTI then the upgraded thing has LTI too. This is because LTI is incredibly rare and they promise to stop selling it in November 2013.

LTI is worthless remember, but CIG found sales didn't work without it pretty quickly.

1. You buy one or more of these 'cheap' ships when they're released as a concept and comes with lti as pledgebait.

2. Melt it for store credit and put it towards another chariot you want but missed the lti opportunities for, since it will carry over to the new ship

3. ????

4. Profit!

So yeah they just broke down and are monetizing long term insurance. Spergs will want some "Just in Case" and want multiple copies just to cover their armada of poor decisions they've already bought. Some will justify it as "Well I missed LTI on this $900 autism chariot, so $35 is perfectly reasonable to cover it forever!" x 100,000

Since this is the first time they've done it (for so cheap) the Drake sale will be like $4,000,000 and the furnaces will spring back to life, filled again with more bricks of cash.
