      If you can afford to spend 60k on a video game, you can afford to get a license and a plane, I’m pretty sure…

      The parent poster was correct: you can buy a plane for that kind of money. Respectfully, your point about training and maintenance is irrelevant. The truth is the parent poster was right, and the comparison is an eloquent one that furthers the point that the offer from SC’s developer is ludicrous.

      Nobody actually wants to buy a plane or a boat, don’t worry! 😜
