I don't know.

Some people are defending things tooth and nail when trying to reason. Not only things like this either, might be something purchased or some ideology.

I have a really hard time emphasizing.

Did you mean "empathizing"? I'm having difficulty empathizing with cases like that too. I mean, ugh, it's mind-boggling, $10k is a life-changing amount of money for most people and this guy threw it away on a video game that's not even out yet. Still, people like him are being exploited for personal gain, and that is also wrong.
