A chap named Chris who works in the computing operations industry for “a very large tech company” has spent “about US$30,000” on not-yet-released space sim Star Citizen.
“I don’t have any of my fun money come from my main income,” he told PC Gamer.
“I do some work for my father, and I help a few other people that I knew before my current employment. Just enough to feed my dream.
“Am I following the, quote unquote, ‘normal midlife items’ that I think people would normally be buying at this age, like a Corvette or a real boat or all these other exotic, definitely pissing away their income for that hobby things?” he added.
“No, I’m choosing a hobby that is what I want … The people that get it don’t judge.”
