I haven’t heard about it in soooo long that I’ve forgotten… but is the issue with getting B&W on Steam/whereever is because the IP owner is more or less unknown? Kinda like No One Lives Forever 2?
It’s not pay to win. You’re right. Spending big bucks on a big ship will still get oneself killed by a small ship earned in-game. People who call SC pay-to-win listened a bit to much to Derek Smart while sipping their Monster, snacking on Doritos, wonding how many days they have to wait for the next Call of Battlefield. Those people genuinely do not understand what kind of game it is, why money can be spent, and that not a single penny beyond a starter package even needs to be spent. Nearly everything bought with real money can also be bought in-game. The monies goes to support the project, its clear when you buy anything, and you get like a month to return no questions asked if you want to. Or return at ANYTIME for instore credits and swap to some other ship without spending anything new. The misrepresentation still blows my.mind to this day.

We brought in a working interview years ago because the guy had “Can solve a rubik’s cube in under a minute” on his resume. He even brought one. He did it in about a minute and a half. We hired him anyway. He’s now our production manager.
