You're really asking me how comparing two different types of CPU with an in-game asset for an alpha computer game is a false equivalence?
Irrelevant, the point is i didn't buy it because i needed it, its not a life essential, i bought it because i wanted it and because i can, its only worth what people are willing to pay for it, i'm not paying $900 for an RX 6800 because i don't think its worth that.
Its like those people who say "I bet that costs a lot to run" to people with large high powered cars, yes it does if you're on benefits.
Is your problem that expensive things exist or that people buy them? Star Citizen is no different, you don't have to spend a lot, but you can if you want nice things.
