I think this simply depends on your perspective of money and life in general. It is not unreasonable to want to allot a certain amount of your income towards an entertainment/leisure expense, this method of stress reduction is important if you are pretty much anyone that has a life and job outside of your home. What someone chooses to spend their money on isn’t as consequential if they expect to receive a reasonable level of enjoyment or usefulness out of it.
It is almost a given that every person in the world will spend their money on something someone else feels is frivolous or a waste, what matters is if you feel that purchase was worth it. Maybe someone works a min wage job but wants to spend $60 on a video game that they have been really looking forward to and know that they will enjoy, what’s so wrong about that? As long as you are still able to afford your bills and other important commitments then I think that’s fine. Sure you may not be putting money away but people are free to live their lives how they please and if they are happy living that way then that is great.
It doesn’t make good business sense to create a payment model based around “hey if you wanna throw us more money then go for it even though you’re getting a raw deal” and obviously I can’t see how well their subscriptions are doing but I feel that the bulk of their money probably comes from sub tokens anyways if majority of players would rather buy a long bronze subscription or a short gold subscription instead of one of the more expensive options. This directly correlates to the perceived value of the subscription package and not much else, such as gold sub not providing hats from previous tiers.
