Serves people right for crowdfunding a game let alone one built around some libertarian wet dream where you have to buy your way to success, dropping thousands on content like spaceships.

You realize they're developing two games simultaneously and the star citizen hate is only banked by people who don't realize they've literally told everyone that SC isn't getting content updates until Squadron 42 is done.

Secondly, buying ships for money is advertised as "do this if you want to support our game". The ship cost being relative to a supporter tier if it was Patreon. Every single ship available can be bought and earned in game without spending more than $35 for the game's basic access package.

Serves dumbasses right who expect news cycled to them and can't do basic 5 minutes of critical thinking to eat slop like this article

inb4 they start working on a third game and then tell you that Squadron 42 won't be getting new content until that third game is done.

Both games started at the same time and are developed using the same engine and technology so this is honestly just a boring response
