I agree that people who have spent money up to this point deserve the option of a refund and I will agree that it definitely appears as though there’s some mismanagement going on with said funds.
I did notice a lot of justification in the interview, but I personally doubt he’s justifying it so much for himself, but more because he will get judged about it.
Money can be pretty relative. Bill Gates could drop 20 million on this game and it would be equivalent to a Joe dropping $45 dollars. I think passing judgement on how someone spends their own money is borderline juvenile.
Who knows? Maybe he did blow his kids college fund and divorce his wife? Either way, it’s his money.
