minus-squarePasserby6497@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14arrow-down1·edit-26 hours ago it’s because it’s a grift. Always has been. Look at the price of those ships you can buy, its always looked like a very obvious attempt to keep rolling in money while always juuuuuuust being a bit too far away to release. But just give us a few more million and we’ll toooootally release it.
