Who honestly has the disposable income for something like this?

Single IT professionals. Traders, hedge fund managers. Top managers.

There are more millionaires around now than ever before

Granted nearly all of them are the children of other millionaires and billionaires

That's who the world caters to now, not normal people

Limited edition stuff like this is never priced for the masses

Limited Run Games does some really cool stuff if you don't have your own CD burner.

They're really milking this IP for all it's worth huh

Ngl, even if nobody buys it—what a great marketing play. I'm willing to bet that the hardcore Doom fans are eating this up.
