$1 billion !?

That is insane.

Elite Dangerous had a budget of £8m... if Cloud Imperium Games can't release SC for a hundred times that amount it's because it's a grift.

    You did a reverse EriKa KirK there. I think you meant "grift" not "gift"

    I did indeed.

    I blame Samsung's appalling autocorrect.

    it's because it's a grift.

    Always has been.

    Look at the price of those ships you can buy, its always looked like a very obvious attempt to keep rolling in money while always juuuuuuust being a bit too far away to release. But just give us a few more million and we'll toooootally release it.

    You can't even see the most outlandish prices because the shop has a hidden shop. If you want to see the most expensive ships you have to have spent something like 12k on the game.

    I'm not sure if my entire steam library is worth 12k and my library is pretty big.
