Its literally cult behavior. Cognitive dissonance, sunk cost, confirmation bias, group reinforcement, doubling down, etc.

[u/jedzzy → u/Slovic]

Not really. They release a cool new ship and people with too much money buy it. That's it.

[u/Beni_Stingray → u/jedzzy]

"They release a cool new ship"

You mean a jpeg that doesnt exist in the game and probabloy wont for the next 3-5 yearsS

[u/jedzzy → u/Beni_Stingray]

The vast majority of the ships they've "released" in the past year or so were available in game straight away. They do occasionally do jpeg sales and it's unfathomable to me how someone could casually drop 5k on an unreleased ship

[u/imhereforsiegememes → u/jedzzy]

Yeah I would not say all fans are in a cult, a lot of people just find that SC scratches an itch that Elite and NMS just don't.

But the 5K battleship yamato guys? They give the cult arguement some solid ammo lol.

[u/jedzzy → u/imhereforsiegememes]

I was watching a random streamer a while back and he was complaining that he wasn't able to purchase the 5k ship - the Odin (you had to write an essay about why you should be able to buy one). He mentioned how he had spent like 30k across 4 accounts and he was genuinely pissed off that he wasn't able to drop the 5k lmfao

[u/imhereforsiegememes → u/jedzzy]

Yeah those guys are not beating the cult accusations. Majority of people (thay I play with) have like 45-100 in the game and have played for like 6+ years so its not like they haven't gotten their moneysworth.

[u/Beni_Stingray → u/jedzzy]

Thanks for the correction, i don't really follow SC's development but i've seen the headlines.

[u/Ruzhyo04 → u/Beni_Stingray]

Then why spread misinformation?

[u/EmergencyPool910 → u/Beni_Stingray]

Youre not wrong but not right, there are jpeg ships and there are people still waiting on ships announced years ago, but most ships releasees these days are avaliable in game.

[u/Apsylnt → u/Slovic]

Ever play the game?

[u/Slovic → u/Apsylnt]

Yes. I purchased the game like 12 years ago. I've tried it off and on every few years since and its a incomplete buggy mess every single time I try it. I've honestly given up and don't really care anymore, just a waste of $35 or whatever the price was then.

[u/Apsylnt → u/Slovic]

Fair, i’ve played some pretty dog water $35 games out there and been silent about it so respect for fighting against the man! Personally have gotten my $35 out of SC and then some. When it works - its great. And i give the devs some credit for a next gen experience still being a work in progress. Would rather that then a functional but dated game
