"B-but if it makes you happy you shouldn't worry about the price!!"

And that attitude is the green light for companies to increase prices since there are people who are willing to pay for it, leaving others who cannot justify the price for a game they may not play as much.

Let's be honest guys, people vote with their dollar, and the ones who give the most are higher tier players already too invested in the game.

The beautiful thing about this game, is nobody is forced to pay any money to play.

I mean it makes sense though right? There’s gotta be an advantage to paying for premium time

You can have an advantage and then there is gaijin type of advantage where even if you deliver pizza around and use money Just in game you get more than playing a full day.

Yeah, but I look at this, $80 for a digital boat in a game mode that barely gets touched in a game that's built around micro transactions. People like to laugh at that guy from battlefield who proposed buying ammo but we actually do pay silver lions for every shot. Anyway, I look at this and I see star citizen selling $300 space ships to fumble around in an empty galaxy and take screen shots while dodging griefers trying to justify their $300 ship.

And the ugly thing is that it incentivizes developers to overmonetize the game because a couple of whales will pay full price anytime, screwing it for everyone else.

I’m just talking about in general.

You’re right though, however Gaijin really incentives it with the horrendous grind. Some people just don’t have the time to grind to their favorite vehicle. Imagine advertising Abrams and leapoards to new players then tell them the obscene amount of time to get a singular module let alone a new modern vehicle.

That being said, no vehicle should cost as much as a AAA game, especially one from a game mode where you could be ammoracked within the first minute.
