Star Citizen is experiencing significant backlash from its community following the release of flight blades, which enhance ship maneuverability but were initially only available for purchase through the pledge store. This move angered players who expected such upgrades to be accessible via in-game currency. As fans expressed their displeasure on forums, labeling the paywall as a form of 'pay to win,' CIG was compelled to reassess their approach towards these controversial updates. Players fear this could set a concerning precedent for future game features.
"Selling performance altering modules and keeping them locked behind this paywall even for a short period is still the definition of pay to win and not ok CIG."
"So if we're now separating out new features into sellable website commodities, where does this go next? Exclusive Jump Gate keys to Nyx 3 months early? Special exclusive new mission coordinate keys? This is a step too far."
