Funny you should say that...
Haha, that's not a yatch. That's a motorboat, we're talking in the $100k-$1000k range with the topend being unlikely. I agree the optics aren't the best but it's not at all crazy to afford something like that on a business leader salary. Sure from a pure ethics standpoint he should take a modest salary and keep at it until the game is released and his obligations to his supporters fulfilled and then get rich. But who has ever been that principled? I can't really fault him for something everyone does. He's also been fairly successful for a long time already so he likely had money before SC as well. Now if I'm wrong and another angle shows this is some gaudy 10 million dollar+ yatch he bought recently then I'll absolutely reevaluate!
