After raising over $800 million from its community, Star Citizen's developer delays the release of a new ship upgrade as players baulk at having to pay for it

"For future gameplay kit introductions, we’ll ensure these items are obtainable in-game on day one."

Just when you think Chris Roberts’ retirement fund program brrrrrrrrrrrr couldn’t get anymore absurd, they manage to surprise. Even the so-true long time backers thought it was going too far.

Witkin then claimed the reason CIG pulled the trigger too fast on flight blades is because the developer is having a busy year. “We’re pushing 11 patches this year instead of 4. We’re crushing more bugs than ever, building more exciting content, moving faster than ever to make the Persistent Universe a better experience for everyone, and in moving that fast, we missed a step.”

morshupls Folks, we totally overlooked the monetization factor of this soon to be released new nickel and dime scheme.

    However, when these upgrades were initially added to the game, they could only be purchased with hard cash, costing between $9.60 and $42 depending on which set you bought.

    wait so people finally got sick over a 10 dollar upgrade? what about the fucking pay to win thousand dollar ships? do Goomer brains really think “yeah it might cost one grand but since it’s available in the game for 10 morbillion credits it’s not pay to win.” ??!?
