A $750 price tag for an in-game item that doesn't even exist yet and might be the better part of a decade away from existing.
I was talking to a guy on reddit who spend like 500 bucks on a ship (Banu Merchantman) that at the time wasn't even out. He was arguing that the ship was coming out before the end of the year. When I told him I didn't even think it would come out before the end of the next year he called me a hater and blocked me. Well, that was in 2016 and as far as I can tell the ship still isn't out to this day!
People have been saying the game is 2 years away from release for a decade now. Every patch you have motherfuckers claiming that this was the last road block before production can finally speed up and deliver a complete game. The cope is absolutely unreal.
I need some kind of psychological analysis of how an adult human gets taken in by such an obvious scam. This doesn't even make any sense to me. I deliberate and do tons of research before I spend more than like $30, how are there people exchanging thousands of dollars for a microtransaction with no release date :agony-shivering:

EDIT: The timing seems almost too convinient but someone posted a list on the SC subreddit of unreleased ships and how long they've been in "production". The BMM I was just talking about has apparently been on sale for 9 years! For the $1000 Idris it's been even longer. The Javelin which costs a whopping $3000 according to this list has been in use for almost 8 years to scam idiots out of their money and still no release date anywhere to be found.
