      You can play it now. They even offer a free weekend every now and then. I tried it a few years back but never got very far into it…

      Who knows, the game might release by 2030 at this rate.

        I’m just super curious at to what $600m would get me. Maybe suckering people into paying for it out of curiousity was their genius business plan along though.

          That’s the cost of about three typical AAA games. Genshin Impact’s costs up to around its second year of development is also about that much.

          They have sales, I grabbed it a few years ago for like $20. Yeah it’s got bugs but I’ve got a good bit of time playing it. It’s got plenty to do, people in here didn’t really play it and are on the hate train. Don’t be a whale and you’ll get your money out of it.

    So with some quick math, if everyone that played the game spent the same amount of money each person would have spent $126 on it.

    After a couple of free weekends, I was on the verge of buying it but then I saw that they separated squadron 42…
