    I assume land claims was also a stretch goal.
    From the stretch goals list:

    "...Manage Space Stations – Players will compete to own and operate a limited number of space stations across the galaxy..."

    "...Don’t just battle on space stations and platforms… take the fight to the ground!---"


    Have fun

    And after houses, they'll sell furniture!
    As the "Pioneer" is able to build player bases and a lot of (modular) bases have already been shown, they DO sell houses.

    And they have been selling furniture ever since the Hangar module was released e.g. the Workbench

    https://robertsspaceindustries.com/voyager-direct/Hangar-Decorations/Workbench

    In a way the Hangar IS a kind of player housing already.

    No. Greed is strong in this one. Holy cr4p, over 100 million in cash and still going strong to empty the pockets of naive people.

    No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

    I'm starting to think that where SoTA went wrong was having too much game and not enough cash shop.

    Dude wtf are people freaking out about this? Its not a pay to win cash shop item. This is cosmetic at most. Its a personal play area. People calling them greedy for wanting more money? Their job is to provide things that people want. If people wanna spend money on cosmetics, whats it matter to you?

    Well the apologists will find some way to pretend that it was.

    • Manage Space Stations – Players will compete to own and operate a limited number of space stations across the galaxy.
    • First person combat on select lawless planets. Don’t just battle on space stations and platforms… take the fight to the ground!
    Stretch goals at $19 million and $20 million. But if we ommit the context we can make it sound as though they intended this all along.

    :rolleyes

    Don't you think that's a bit of a "stretch" to equate those two statements to the sale of land claim plots?

    One might think so, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if this resulted in pushing the overall funding up another $20M or more.

    There seems to be nothing fans of this game won't buy nor anything they will really criticize.

    It's a a bit of a phenomenon really, one day university studies will probably be done around it.

    Well what do you think a star is?
    Well that's a easy one: 



    I joke, Really a Star it's Something Bright and Shiny That We Can Count When Camping.

    I am a scizo misanthrope. So one day I may go BANZAI on your post.

    Nah there is really none for me or the human race. 
  • sgelsgel Member EpicPosts: 2,197
    I guess you think it's a wise tactic when you say something silly, to say something even sillier to divert people's attention. That doesn't work very well in a public forum imo.

    You should have just edited your comment.

    They're not selling land. They're selling protection for land you have to find and prospect. It's a token reward - like the pledge ships.

    You don't buy land - you buy the ability to "claim" land - which simply means you get protection from raiders and such.

    All 2 million backers claiming land on a single planet wouldn't take up half of it.

    It's just another way to fund and support the most ambitious game of all time.
