Star Citizen

Greedy people are greedy, I personally also does not mind the payment system unless you must pay to get the things done, for example if they make repairs or ship loss to cost 20-30 hours grinding or paying couple euros to fix it etc.
If they do it that way the game wont last long anyway since the harcore gamers that tend to be the long time fans would just play other things or make their own servers.
In general with the option to have full functional server and modding I cannot see how he can make pay to win game- it wont work unless he is lieing about the modding/private server functionality. If he do so he would shoot himself in the foot anyway.

The problem is he doesn't need to have the hardcore community. In these types of games typically a small portion of the player base will be purchasing RMT goods, but they will purchase it in enough quantities to make the game very profitable.

This is what I am afraid of. They will cater to those who pay money instead of those who don't, because it is way more profitable.
