It's not. We know that because "magboots" was a thing they tried to do to let commandos latch on to the outside of other people's ships (since, you know, they can't get docking to work) and it sucked and broke the game so they had to disable it lol.

to be fair, selling cosmetic items that don't change gameplay in any way for small amounts of cash is a much, much scummier business model than straight up selling player upgrades for hundreds or thousands of dollars, sometimes only to people who have already given you a large amount of money :v:

No Redchris, there is no "win". That's what you can't seem to grasp, there is no competition here of who is right and who is wrong, the only thing there is, is Goons and others stating that CIG are completely poo poo at living up to their own hype. Hype that people like you buy into by the $1000's while complaining loudly at a $5 microtransaction in other games, you defend the poo poo out of CIG despite their continued failings, their continued displays of what they have no idea how to make, their continued chest beating of how great they are compared to all other games dev studios.

All the while, they still have yet to complete a single project, the complexities of a single player campaign elude them, the technicalities of good networking frameworks lay beyond their grasp, there is no competition here, CIG are the undisputed champions of flashing their knickers to all and sundry while promising you immediate access and then quickly going into hiding and ignoring what they just did.

For the last 5 years, people like you have repeated "Just you wait until feature/patch/gameplay/knickers/anything drops, you'll all being sorry when that happens!" and for the last 5 years, this event that you wishfully dream about has not once happened. 2.0 was the closest CIG have ever gotten to living up to their word, and to be honest it was a very low target to hit, it's not exactly cutting edge or particulary impressive in any respect other than being sort of pretty. How long did that quiet the non dreamers for? A few weeks? A few days? Less?

CIG keep proving the Goons and anyone else who takes their presentations with a liberal bucket of doubt completely correct in being doubtful, 3.0 will be yet another "meh, nothing like what they showed off, bit crap really" event and once again you guys will renew the dance of "Just you stupid goonies wait until 3.2 drops, you'll all look pretty dumb then!". CIG will gleefully take your money and then proceed to completely piss all over your dreams of being right for once, and you'll thank and defend them for it, again. :) I actually can't wait until they announce 3.0 for release, if nothing else, just to see how you and your :reddit: buddies engage in the usual rounds of convincing yourselves it's everything you expected and more.

Zmajuga :No more money before 3.0!
apollorez : This game is never going to launch
Chalkyj : jesus christ do they intend on showing anything interesting what so ever?
Cpt_data : Let's hope for 2.6PTU this weekend. I doubt it gonna happen, but surprise me. Buuuuuuuuut ... I think I won't pour any more money in the project before Three-Point-Zero, cuz my hangar is filled with more ships I can't fly than those I can.
edw224 : translation: We didn't make enough money haha
Pertine : I'm kinda bored with the never ending sales to be honest.

GamerGirlu : This is a bit like a cargo cult of actual game development company

Sgtjockitch : Hey at least evocoti gets to play 2.6! Kappa, wish I had hundreds of hours of game time and bought $1000 worth of ships so I could be evocoti. Oh wait I did back for $1000 and I do have hundreds of hours of game time.
Boloww : So how has this game not even remotely improved in the 3 years since Arena Commander initially launched
joranovitch : they are basically doing the same thing as the Pre-stream for the anniversary livestream.... disappointed
marVLs : NO MORE SHIPS, GIVE US MECHANICS <===
marVLs : NO MONEY BEFORE 3.0 RELEASE!
kawawolfy : I'm disappointed, Sorry CIG, but it's a fail for me, i hope that 206 will end quick
Boloww : Did they fix the bug where the servers run at 10 fps so you can run through walls in the PU
rasmusfinn : QA: you ask we answer something else
CRASH_SLI : Sry 2.6 ia big fail
Udelar : Based on what they have decided to show and not show live, I can only conclude that 2.6 PTU is nowhere near ready.

Related to all the free-to-play/subscription stuff, am I right in thinking that the current funding model for 'Star Citizen' is basically a few currency sales (but not pay-to-win) and largely subsidised by 'Squadron 42' (the IP which may or may not be owned by a UK bank)?

Like, that's their official plan and none of the shitizens have a problem with that?

They really think that 'Squadron 42' is going to be such an amazing success that it not only warrants never-ending sequels but also produces enough income to almost fully subsidise 4 studios an an MMO universe.

Business decision...
a. Continue to sell $300 ships (Pay-to-win)
b. Players pay monthly (Subscription)
c. Run universe at a loss paid for by series of single player games (loving insanity!)

They aren't upset about P2W, they're angry at the thought that other people might have the ability to P2W. They thought they had already paid to win when they became early adopters with their limited-run chariots and LTI. Now, Johnny-come-latelies will have the same opportunity to buy progress and victory in game, and that's a direct threat to their dream of being the untouchable lords of the 'verse (by virtue of having already paid for the privilege).

And LOL that they haven't figured out that CR will put every single scam-a-buck feature in the game to chase cash flow. Cosmetic upgrades, timer crystals, unlockable RNG crates, special ammo that can only be bought with real money, horrible grinding that can be bypassed by paying real money, and on and on and on.
