You can only do that on headstart servers and your progress will be limited.

Wasn't headstart only available to the early supporters? I doubt that a few thousand people will make a dent in a potentially multimillion playerbase at launch.We have not received permission from Voxtrium to share the quoted post.
I'd bet they'll be the ones that thrive the most, because while some people will avoid them due to "omg I'm like so behind everyone waahhh", a ton of people would not care about that shit and they'd instead just see a less populated server that has either no queues or just small ones. And with that server being populated by people who don't care about the "race" as much - it'll be more successful in just existing and everyone just enjoying themselves on it.We have not received permission from Electronn to share the quoted post.
Except both headstart and cosmetics were pretty much in the game from the very start. So it's not like they suddenly came out of nowhere and draw a direct line to "this game will 100% become p2w because of this shit".We have not received permission from Chicago to share the quoted post.
These days the meaning of p2w is quite blurred. And I'd say that a few days of a headstart on predetermined servers and some cosmetics is one of the least p2w ways to monetize the game. If anyone disagrees with that to such a point that they don't want to play the game cause Steven "lied to them" about p2w - that's their choice and they're free to do so (not saying you're like that).We have not received permission from Chicago to share the quoted post.
