Not so fun fact about marketing, they recently fired the head of marketing because he was pushing too much for new fancy ships to sell. He was pushing the devs towards things that can sell.

Management said stop, go work elsewhere, now we polish stuff for a while to have a stable platform for the alpha players before adding new stuff.

So if you could market like him, maybe you’ll be jobless now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Aye but the ten year run of marketing the game during development was probably pretty nice.

800 millions nice apparently.
