      No, it’s people who can afford it and want to show off to others. Buying a soundtrack is supporting the game, spending more than most cars cost is flexing.

        Nobody will know ingame if you are flying a ship bought with real money or earned ingame. Why is buying a soundtrack supporting the game but buying this pack is suddenly flexing? Is buying a $300 pack also flexing?

        The fact is that this is a stupid amount of money for me or most of us to spend on a game but for many it’s not, so CIG offers this pack for people who want to support the game.

          The person who buys this pack could, and probably would, show or tell others about all the ships they own. You don’t spend tens of thousands because you just want to support a game, you spend that much because you want to show off. They wouldn’t likely say, “I bought the $48k pack,” but they’d fly the most expensive ships around just because. That’s who this is for.
