This is a large part of it. But there is also other people who have put the minimum amount or no money into it and just want a cool space game and also want the developers to not be pressured into rushing updates out (they were once and it was unplayable for a month). I am not defending the sketchy stuff cig have done, they really need to look at how they manage this game and their business, I would have gladly put more than the bare minimum into the game if they didn't charge so much for everything beyond the first purchase (about £35) but they do too much wrong for me to support it any more than I have

The navy pays $9million a year for xp updates

In lots of places I've been in the uk it's coke original and pepsi max. Sometimes you'll get coke zero or diet coke as well but always the first two

I've only ever had pho once and I didn't like it, I'm hoping it's just because of where I got it from because it smells nice when I've seen it in other places

Is the large systemic change starting the development of a sequel for a game that recently turned 8 years old?

Tldr: They've been going through this cycle of consecutive huge successes and consecutive flops for decades but this is the worst series of flops in the company's history

My guess is because of shareholder pressure

sorry about the amazing image quality I made this in less than a minute (I didn't even export the image from the editor just screenshotted it lol)

No matter your stance on AI, it's important to mention they are using ai to generate robot voices.

This was too late. Paradox's in house development studio did the same thing with Victoria 3. Do something way too greedy (lock historical characters behind a preorder for a dlc that was already bad). Waited to see the backlash, and when it was too much, they make the bonuses free.

At least they're doing something, but the dlc should have been pushed back at launch.

It didn't change anything for me...

This is the best thing nintendo have ever said
