Devs, why inmates need gold and credit cards?

[Murcielago]

When I joined to the game, the idea was to survive. Inmates normally want to escape. So if I am a player playing as inmate, why I need gold and credit card?

Is the game going to change to something else?

Lore explanation: you are SCUM participating in a tv-show. The money and gold are your ways of navigating through the corporate landscape to survive beyond death due to the situation you were placed in.

The focus of the game has always been and will remain a survival experience.

I always thought of SCUM as a type of Hunger Games/Survival but the hunger games aspect is not quite there yet.

because for the people that want to give in to tec1 and obey they do what tec 1 wants ie kill people and compete in the show, so you get rewarded for it.. fame

the traders are "other prisoners" if im not wrong and will have like a boss that controls the area and tec1 allows it because they do what tec1 wants by proxy

so they use the money to have some sort sort of market system because bottle caps are worthless...
i wouldnt doubt tec1 is supplying the traders with the gold bars for us to use

think about it
if all the prisoners gave up all the weapons on the island when tec1 retreated behind the walls due to the rebel faction escaping season one
the show would become EVEN more brutal and the added side effect of hurting the rebels strength
yes traders sell stuff but only to people that have fame such people would be participating in the show and not trying to escape

so. thank beda for once a dev that i seen has given a lore response
too many people have NO clue what scum is and wonder whats going on...
if they read more they might know these things

And this comes from your crystal ball, laying cards or coffee grounds?

I believe it is called a 'canteen' in western prisons. They are used by the inmates to buy toiletries, shower shoes, undies ect. And in the case of scum...bullets
