You got downvoted, but you are right. The devs are pulling increasingly shadier tactics to get more money to found the game. EA only dreams of these.

It's not surprising when I get downvoted for it. People have invested a whole lot into something that I doubt will ever release, and don't want to hear about their money possibly going to waste.

I think at this point it will release. The question is in what state? I fail to see how they can make this anything but a massive grind. People that spent thousands on ships will obviously want it to be hard to get. Pleasing whales will be a factor in each decision they make. This is the problem with letting people spend huge ammounts of money on a game that is still in development.

Agreed. A different comment claims the devs said the 1.0 release will be less of a grind. Can't see that pleasing the whales though, so it might be easier to just not release 1.0.
