The crazy thing is.....

I am not surprised and (assuming this dude is filthy rich) do not see it as a bad idea. If this game is what he is going to be into, then he has pretty much guaranteed that he is the MAC and the most famous person in it.

I bet he thinks it is money well spent.

Or it could backfire on him and no one will want to play online with a guy who just bought the ultimate sword and wins every battle.

Also a possibility. But he will still be "famous". Obviously, I would never do such a thing, but if I had heaps of cash .... who knows what I would spend it on.

Now if it comes out that this dude is not rich...... then there is no excuse.
