    Those billion dollars come from people buying the game and playing it in its current state.

      Lol no it doesn’t. It comes from insanely high priced jpegs of ships, and sometimes the rare in game ship.

      perfect example 13 days ago on reddit

      The RSI Galaxy is a great ship (currently ~$300) and the loaner is an Anvil Carrack which is (currently $600). The Carrack is one of the biggest and best ships for all around activity, but no pilot guns.
      Origin 890 Jump ($900) for luxury and is the biggest in-game ship you can buy.
      Hammerhead ($700) is the largest combat/gun ship currently, with the Polaris coming out soon.
      Reclaimer ($400) is the largest industrial salvage ship.

      Absolutely can’t wait until my Galaxy is flyable, still hoping for it to be here by the end of the year

        With the purchase of any ship (the cheapest ones being $45) you get to play the game and fly the ship(s) you bought in-game.

        TLDR it’s a $45 game with microtransactions
