They don’t want to risk such a large chargeback or lawsuit over “accidental” purchase by a new user, so are only trying to sell to proven whales.

This isn't real money is it? Please tell me it isn't. I don't play this game but that would just be fucking sad.

OK, I understand EVE and I understand Elite Dangerous, but this is not normal.

There are no married people playing this game

I think whats scarier is that there probably definitely are some who are married and their spouse has zero idea how much they've spent.

The biggest scam in gaming continues unchecked.

Well I guess if anyone had doubts before about SC being a giant fucking scam, they can put those to rest. I was on the fence previously, but this answered it for me.

Is this real world dollars or some kind of in-game currency?
