Because citizens have a fascinating tendency to transfer all imaginable faults and complaints regarding SC onto ED, and in return transferring all accomplishments and design cleverness in ED onto SC. They're basically playing the wrong game, but rather than admit that the game they want to play already exists, they use it as a scape goat to create all kind of imagined reasons why they shouldn't.
You mean they're not playing the wrong game. No one is playing SC.

I might remember it wrong, but didn't CIG show off ship skins some time after Gamescom last year in an ATV, and said that the devs are currently testing how to implement them, and the Shitizens started speculating when and for how much they will be available, because they couldn't wait buying them? Could also have been some live stream around the Gamescom time...but I remember either Youtube comment section or Twitch chat going crazy with Shitizens in full "shut up and take my money"-mode regarding some skins for a racing ship.

That's the Citizen's narrative on the situation, that Braben is a money hungry tyrant for charging $40 for an expansion.

Also, CIG ended up implementing the handful of skins they have in the absolute most CIG way possible - to get a cool skin on a ship you had to buy an entirely new ship, usually with the same lovely loadout (or very close) as the 'stock' version, but with a dumb paint job and some bullshit story about the legendary pilot who flew it or whatever.



CIG posted:

Created as part of the ‘Masters of Flight’ series in conjunction with the flight-sim Arena Commander, the Renegade pays tribute to famed pilot Danny Solomon for his notable work with the Advocacy to bring justice to Bremen. This Avenger Titan comes equipped with a specialized dogfighting focused loadout and a custom special edition livery honoring this iconic ship.

So to recap the last 10 pages: True believers are proclaiming that SC is a different game than what was originally promised. But they are ALSO claiming that anyone who asks for a refund or otherwise complains about the delays and changes doesn't understand game development?

That is by far the most impressive case of cognitive dissonance ever.

I realize CIG has to monetize and squeeze every single red cent out of every single thing they do, but the car they showed does not even look like a racing car.

It might be the incredibly poor wheel system, but that looks like it will never move faster than 20mph while giving the rider enough bumps and bruises to kill them.

But hey, ground car racing is still pretty easy in out of the box CryEngine for an untalented team of modders to handle, so go for it. :)

Well it's certainly no good for its original purpose of cargo carrier, so maybe racing is its true calling.

Originally I didn't have it, and left the TBH name untouched. But I felt like if it left the thread it could cause him extra grief, make him look like a traitor. That hardly seemed fair since it's just parodying fanboyism.

So minor adjustments were made so it for the F.U.N.
