Star Citizen is a game that requires a significant financial investment from players, but that has never been more true than with this DLC. We warn you, you will not be able to buy it.
Against all odds, Star Citizen is still alive, and he makes it clear to us. If it is still standing today, it is thanks to crowdfunding from the community which went so far as to exceed 600 million dollars. This is not necessarily viewed favorably by the majority, but in the meantime, the development of the game continues on its way. Moreover, a new DLC has just arrived. The downside is that you have to be rich to get it. But then, really rich.
A DLC for Star Citizen at… 48,000 dollars
If you are a Star Citizen holder, then you know that he likes to heat up the credit card. To fully engage in the experience, you often have to put your hand in your wallet. Knowing that the basic space simulation game costs 45 dollars. The most telling example is the price of the different ships considered high-end. There is one that requires you to pay $600, and there you only take a sample. We could cite others, but we will instead focus on the DLC which has just been deployed.
The latter is currently being singled out by players who do not fully understand the why and how. For good reason, it is probably the most expensive extension in the history of the medium. It’s a bundle bringing together all the Star Citizen ships, and to access it, you’ll have to sell your house. We’re exaggerating a bit, but it costs (drumroll) $48,000! It must be recognized that it is audacious to propose such a sum, but above all it is seen in a rather ridiculous way. Here is the description that we can read:
Above all others, this armada is equal to the noble title of Legatus Navium. Comprised of over 175 ships from every known manufacturer, this perfect collection, comprising every ship released and licensed through 2953, allows each fleet commander to forge a lasting legacy, leading humanity toward a better future.
Description of the new Star Citizen DLC
To buy the DLC, you have to pay… $1,000
Be careful, you’re not ready for the icing on the cake. There may be those interested. If this is the case, then we hope that you are a member of the Chairman’s Club introduced in 2018. A little clarification is necessary, to be part of it, you must have – at least – spent 1,000 dollars in Star Citizen. It’s starting to do a lot. So, if this is not done, you cannot access the DLC (did you really want it?).
The absurdity of such a price did not fail to amuse the players, and debates even arose. Some say that we sink astronomical sums into games like the famous gacha like Genshin Impact. And sometimes it’s in the thousands. The difference is that here, it’s $48,000, and it’s not spread over ten years. In any case, we don’t see this every day, except perhaps on Star Citizen.
