    I wonder if games that require such farfetched amounts of money should be included in the Luxury tax?

    A lot of those “whales” have cognitive difficulties and/or gambling addictions issues. Since many if these game developers/publishers have no qualm blindly milking and profiteering. It should be no surprise if some sort of tax is levied to help societies (à-la-tobacco or sugar tax) attenuate the ravages of gambling addictions.

    Moreover, Star Citizen has been released over 10 years ago while been continually updated.

    At what point is it just senseless greed that has taken over the game?
