As someone who has spent a stupid amout of money on the game, I really dont give a fuck. The difference is the mindset. If you can legitimately afford that much as an aside, you don't care. It pays for their servers which keeps the game going, and it's not like I had anything better to spend the money on. The main issue is people who cannot really afford to throw money around - it's harder as it takes up a larger percentage of their income.

As for where hikkis get the money, a lot of it is stock brokerage and investment/making use of financial institutions while also reducing their needs in other areas. Motor vehicles for example, are hideously expensive in Japan due to needing a garage before you can even buy one, while mass transit is cheap and excellent so you don't need one for the most part anyway. They dont need expensive foods and are fine with cheap meals from convenience stores and such (711 and FamilyMart are ubiquitous in Tokyo, and cheap if you shop at the right times), so they have more to spend on their hobbies. Once you get a certain level of money in the bank as well, you can largely live off the interest without touching the principal if you manage your money.
