Yes, and the best things about such scheme is that the are a double prong attack. Prong 1 is targeted at the whales "Oh yes, i want something exclusive ! take my money !" but the much more insidious prong 2 is targeted at the reasonable (well, relatively, this is SC after all) spender who will rationalize his own purchase by thinking "Yea, maybe i spent a little too much on jpegs, but its not like I'm in the Million dollar club, right ?". Its like those 199,99$ items in fremium games, they don't really exist to be sold, their main function is to make the 49,99$ items look reasonably priced.

Gawain The Blind posted:The more of this thread I read the less likely I think that the game will ever actually release, but the more I want it to release because the more RAGE VS GOONS sentiment is building and if we've learned anything from Eve it's that everyone hating goons is the best environment to play in. I can't even imagine what flying my Jpeg around would be like if everyone legit hated us from years before the game even released. This is from nearly three years ago.

Now I'm a little wary to click since i value my retinas and sanity. While you read the 4th Stimpire it's worth remembering the word "carebear" is banned from the CIG forums.

What's more likely: 1. Beer is going to hand CIG a slam dunk libel lawsuit by fabricating emails. 2. Sandi is an incompetent dipshit that has hilarious melt downs via email. Matilda has obviously chosen #1, which is why Matilda is a loving moron.

Well. Time for another question to Sandi. Why do you like that pink shirt so much, Sandi? You wore it on two different days. https://archive.is/Fb1tw https://archive.is/A1nqK It's either that, or you make it seem like you're working multiple days, by taking photos of a bunch of things around the office on one day, and then spreading those photos out over the course of a week or so.
