you're not buying a ship, you're pledging money and getting a ship

but now that pledge costs more despite it being the same ship

for reasons

I know you say this in a comedy way, but its a real trigger for me... lets not get into the whole "pledge" and "backer" thing. If you pay VAT you buy a product and you are a customer. Regardless of what CIG writes in their store and whatever cultists belive, fact is VAT=buy. Donating, ar least in the EU, is free of VAT, so unless they scammed every EU customer and have a ton of money to repay "backers" with post-haste, they should just drop the pretense and admit that "yes, we sell jpegs that might one day be availible in our game".

If someone still belive its donations, investments and backing a project I simply do not understand how someone with such a low IQ manages to post on the internet.

It'd be a shame if the authorities found out that CIG has been collecting VAT on "pledges" . . .

To make some quick cash, CIG should actually release some cheap ship concepts, and vehicle type stuff:

Offhand, what I would do:

Custom escape pod - 20$
Super Custom escape pod - 30$
Space forklift for your cargo ship - 15$
Basic shuttle to take you from your space-yachet to and from stations - 60$
Fancy shuttle for space yacht - 90$
Space Yacht - 300$
Aliens rip-off cargo loader - 20$
Aliens rip-off cargo loader with guns - 30$

The pschology here would be brutal - people are getting sick of paying hundreds of dollars for JPEGs, but to people who've paid hundreds of dollars for JPEGs, this stuff would look cheap.

Stuff like this would sell like hotcakes, and the only overhead for it would be one JPEG artist in a broom closet somewhere since none of it is ever getting made and no one has any illusions about that anymore.

A little more emergency cash for the legal battle coffers, you know? Jump on it, CIG. You can thank me later.

Don't forget the space bulldozer for pushing shoving yer trash off the edge of the hangar. That's at least $30 extra.

Whatever CIG calls what you do when you give them money - tax wise this counts as income, not a "pledge" or a "donation". If you donate or pledge money on Patreon or Kickstarter you also have to add VAT there. The same thing seems to apply. I am no expert on this matter though.

As someone with sisters, no it is not.

It's like, a normal person never has that impulse. Just like a normal person never looks at a dog and says "I want to gently caress that"
