Pretty sure it's simply there to make headlines, outrage people and get some people who don't care to see what the game is about

Last I checked they had an ecosystem that any developer would kill to have. A closed off pool of players who are all loyal. Everyone I've talked to that has gotten to play it has defended it. So it obviously has something going. I think most people just expected a normal release and it seems to have morphed into a different business model?

It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.

They aren't fooled though. Its a real game that offers what it says it does, hand crafted solar systems. Its just fucken nuts seeing whale catching tactics outside of mobile games.
