It was the final straw.
It's not just the incredibly high price of the Javelin—it's that this is the latest in a long list of CIG reneges. They've "changed their minds" far too many times. In this particular case, it was stated way back when that the Idris Corvette (now upgraded to a Frigate) would be the largest ship pledgers could buy with real money. CIG also stated that the Idris would never again be sold after the original pledge campaign ended, but they went ahead and did it anyway... twice. They've reneged so many times that I can't remember each instance. Perhaps I posted a list earlier in the thread.
My trust level in CIG is close to zero. What's next? Will they decide that user-hosted, moddable private multiplayer servers are too much work to implement? Will they ignore the very serious issue of controller agnosticity now that the furor over gimbaling mouse-aim has died down? Will grinding for credits be Korean-tier obnoxious, despite assurances to the contrary?
Frankly, the out-of-control sales have finally become an issue for me, too. I'm forced to agree with
Mortmal et al.: Each sale is more lavish and expensive than the last, and CIG constantly unveil and sell brand-new ships rather than properly implementing existing ones. They spend more time publishing fan fiction and stupid videos no one in their right mind would want to watch than they do unveiling and elaborating upon substantial aspects of the non-ship portions of the game.
