Justin@lemmy.dbzer0.comtoTechnology@lemmy.world•Russia launches "social rating" platform to determine a person’s comparative “social status”English

4 months agoObservers on social media compared the platform’s name “We” to the highly influential 1921 dystopian novel of the same name by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin.
They actually couldn’t choose a different name than the novel that was written specifically about this very dystopian subject? Did they use it as inspiration? Because that seems more than coincidence…
What?.. Higher priced ships? You’ve got to be joking…
One of my favorite ships in the game, the Drake Corsair, is already $250. It’s a great all-rounder, but it’s not even a large ship comparitively! And they’re going to start charging more for the newer ships?!
They just released a new ship as well, the RSI Zeus MKII, which is yet another $175. And that doesn’t even mention some of the larger ships like the Anvil Carrack, sitting at an insane $600, and the Origin 890 Jump at $950…
And if that’s not bad enough, they’ve had concept ships for years available for purchase in the $1,500-$2,000 range. How can these ships get more expensive?
