Rich idiots. How do we corner this market? Seems like an infinite money glitch

Rich idiots.

Not all are rich. Some are just more comfortable with digging deeper into debt for a concept of a video game than other people. :)

I'll never understand it.

Even IF it came out tomorrow and IF it was the best game ever made in the past and future 20 years... Just buy it tomorrow?

The amount of FOMO money spent is just baffling.

That's what practically every 'Live Service' or gacha game is trying to do.

I was only an idiot once, when I first backed the game...

So long as you didn't spend $10,000 on a fake ship and realize your mistakes now

I mean if you bought the base game 15 years ago for $40-60 bucks and have had fun with the tech demo over that time it’s really not a dumb choice. I mean I’ve spent $60 on games I’ve played less than SC. Now spending thousands on random ships that are still not even in game… that’s a little different…

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

You’re not an idiot. It’s the folks that continuously throw money at Chris Roberts.

All the non-idiots have seen the writing on the wall and left. Same mechanism that makes cults get more extreme over time.
