Pretty much. The other side of that coin for me, though, is that they've burned enough of my trust over the last couple years that I'm really not giving them any of my money anymore. Paid for a 6 month sub, then a lifetime one, and talked myself into buying the Gal-X back when it was halfway worth flying, but not a penny since, and no real plans to. Anything I pay for, they'll nerf eventually and make me regret the purchase, so I'm cutting out the purchase part. If they're hurting for money, it's people that have made those decisions.
And they've made so many ways to get the in-game currency that only the stupid or lazy would bother to reach for a credit card at this point anyway, so not really sure where their money is supposed to come from...
