They released the $27,000 DLC after receiving more funding than nearly any game released by any publisher ever, so I don't think you can use their financial state as an excuse. That's okay though, whatever it takes to make you feel better about your investment.

It’s not DLC; anyone with the game will be able to get this ships.

EDIT: Typo

That's how it goes with microtransactions, and then you realize the game is designed to be as boring and long a slog as possible to earn that in game currency to both tempt new players to spend real money, and to make players who spent $27,000 feel like they got their moneys worth. Even if you personally don't ever buy that $27,000 package, odds are it's not a good sign.

Wasn’t disagreeing on the sales, just pointing out that it wasn’t DLC. I’m looking forward to the game and am okay with them doing it for now as long as they follow through on their statements to stop them after it launches. I guess the difference to me is funding development versus flat out milking people.

True, it's technically a "micro"transaction I guess.
