World of Warcraft recently released a $90 mount, nobody bats an eye.
It's drama farming. I hate to think what I've sent on PCs, consoles, TV, sound systems over the years to support my hobbies however as it's over a long period of time I think it's all been entirely reasonable for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. I'd suggest with Star Citizen, as with my other MMOs over the decades it's the same.
What I don't get is people coming in after say 2017/18 when the game is already clearly massively over promising and late, then throwing their wallets at the screen over the course of just a few months. Even if you are wealthy, at that point you could argue it's a bit too much too soon. Then again we're in the territory of it's something I wouldn't do given the circumstances, but I don't really care what others do with their own hard earned money. Why I struggle to care about the "woke" games out there, just don't buy it, but not really much of a point caring if others do.
To each their own, I always suggest these days that:
1. Wait until free fly so YOU can judge for yourself.
2. Buy the minimum package available at the time.
3. Do not put any more money in until it's released.
^^ This has been the advice given out by many on here over the past few years, so yeah if people still throw more money at CIG, that's on them.
Try and find something you actually like that doesn't involve being a nob to make yourself feel clever.
