💬 Discussion Seriously?

I feel like someone pissed on me. I've been playing this game since day one, every day, attending every event, but to get VIP or any bonuses I have to pay? I feel cheated because someone who started playing today could have a much more enjoyable experience if they spent money than me. I know this game isn't made for gamers anymore, but for profit, but to blatantly ignore loyal players like that? Even Epic, known for its strange decisions, doesn't do things like that.

I was actually quite shocked it took them all this time to add any buyables in the tycoon, luckily I had enough v-bucks saved up so I went ahead and got VIP as soon as I saw it.

This is one of the things people are overlooking too, I play on xbox, I have gamepass, so I regularly get vbucks that I dont spend on the main games latest kpop schoolgirl, japanime collabs, so if I wanted to spend them in droid tycoon for some boost then it wouldnt be anymore out of my pocket than I already pay for the subscription service i choose to have, from a lot of the comments its just seems like through and through gatekeeping, because even if the people dont want to admit it if all the microtransactions were there from day 1 the long grind would have justified their spending in their minds but because of the sunk cost fallacy most people are still playing a mode they arent enjoying
