Star Citizen’s Extravagant Legatus Ship Pack Costs $48,000

In an unprecedented move in the gaming industry, Roberts Space Industries (RSI) has released a $48,000 ship pack for their game, Star Citizen. The pack, known as the Legatus Pack, is only available to those who have already spent over $1,000 on the game.

High-Roller Access to Legatus Pack

The Legatus Pack is not visible to all players; only those who have already spent a significant amount on Star Citizen – at least $1,000 – can access information about the pack. This exclusivity has sparked debates within the gaming community, with some players arguing it puts too much emphasis on ‘pay-to-win’ mechanics.

The Ultimate Collection

The pack includes nearly every ship in the game, totaling 117 different spaceships and 163 different extras like in-game currency and items. This makes the Legatus Pack the ultimate collection for any Star Citizen enthusiast looking to own everything in the game.

Controversial Business Strategy

Star Citizen has always been a unique project, raising over $200 million through crowdfunding. This new strategy of offering a high-cost pack has raised eyebrows and caused controversy within the gaming world, with critics arguing it exacerbates income inequality among players.

Despite the controversy, Star Citizen continues to attract a significant player base. The company’s unique business model and high-ticket items like the Legatus Pack are indicative of the changing landscape in the gaming industry, where developers are finding new ways to monetize their games.
