SE are relying upon suckers to make them more profitable.

Their online store has some of the most ridiculous pricing I've ever seen in my life.

Their online store has some of the most ridiculous pricing I've ever seen in my life.

You need to get out more, then: a limited edition Hermes “So Black” handbag made of matte niloticus crocodile 30 with PVD hardware fetched over $200,000 at auction in 2019.

And SE doesn't even hold a candle to some other online games: https://gamerant.com/most-expensive-...ems-ever-sold/ has a list of expensive MMO items sold for real money, like a $2500 spaceship in Star Citizen, a $61,000 rifle skin for Counter-Strike: Global Offiensive, and a asteroid in Entropia Universe that a player bought for $10,000 and later sold to another player for $635,000.

Some people just have way more money than they need.
