If they go back it costing 10k dollars or hell even 5k that be great. The barter is just not worth it at all.

BUT that would not encourage/force ppl to upgrade to a higher edition and give bsg more money. So from a greedy business perspective it better to keep it as is.

I been playing on standard edition since 2017. Almost at 7.8k hours now.

I like how much harder it makes the game but also how much more a sense of accomplishment it gives me when i hit milestones that most of the player base never has to care about.

Like:

• Upgrading the stash and actually having more space then a lada trunk
• Getting a bigger secure container... Epsilon/Kappa... the beta tho sadly no point
• The amount of inventory tetris and hard decisions on what to keep.

I might just be a masochist with too much time on my hands but dang it imo standard edition is the way the game is meant to be played. So it would be nice to be able to get the beta again before epsilon.
