  • @MrProset $16,000 worth of crazy.

  • Can you tell the difference between a Hyundai and a Mercedes? Why yes, yes you can....

  • @RepublicAgent You sound like someone trying to save the world

  • @hiws1

    I'll tell you exactly why, the values/properties are off. I have no doubt in my mind that 16,000 could have gone to something more productive.

    If you bring up a 500k painting and a 16k sword in a video game, seems awfully selfish to me. Indulge yourself while that money, both 500k and 16k, could have changed lives. As long as you have a painting and a sword made of pixels.

    I don't know... priorities seem horribly off and I find that sad.

  • @RepublicAgent Not really, and it's not sad, people buy a painting for 500k why not buy a sword you can have fun with?

  • @hiws1

    You fail to see no one is stopping the dude from getting the virtual content... we're just saying its kinda if not very sad.
