Unique Pricing Model
Unlike other companies, CONTRA sells on a per-unit basis. A single unit (tank, helicopter, or other) does not include the right to duplicate the same unit unlimited times. The idea that purchasing a product does not entitle the buyer to the full reproductive rights has spawned controversy, with some pointing out the deal is unenforceable.
Buyout Attempts
On 2/3/19, player Cact0 attempted to buy out the CONTRA company for $1,000. After a small bit of negotiation, the deal was scrapped.
