A lot of us spent quite a bit of money when the game still was not a certain that it would be released. (before they met their fundraising goal.)

15k on a game is a lot. But if you have money (and lots of it) 15k is the price of a weekend vacation or a night out at a really expensive club with a group of friend.

2k on a game isnt. If you took all the money you wasted eating out or buying smokes / liquor you would put 2k into a game over a year period and still have extra money left over.

I dont have 2k in the game but I do have about 1k and I dont feel bad about spending that money at all. There just is not a game out there that will do what this game promises and I have no problem spending extra money to help them make it better. At this point they cant afford to make a crappy game else no one in their crew will ever work in the industry again.

Hell, I spent more than that on FSX addons over the years anyways and no one ever called me crazy for that.
