I think it has turned into a sunk cost fallacy for so many now. They put so much money into it they can't afford for it to fail/not continue.

Why is it so hard for people to imagine that there are players who like the game as it is and see value in buying ships? After 10 years of development, people have a pretty good idea of what they are getting into.

If people were smart and had good ideas of what they were getting into, no scams would exist, ever.

Sure, and people spend tons of money and time on gacha mobile games. Doesn't mean that they haven't been scammed.
