I'm with you. I really only buy cheap instruments. I do know that once you get into the pro-sumer range they can get really costly.
I just feel like that line from the CEO comes off as really classist and shitty, even if he is trying to signal that he wants to get those higher end customers in the door.
I really wish they would put out a version on Steam. I know it's easy enough to install the game (which I have on my PC and deck) but I have friends who literally won't play a game unless it's on Steam ☹️
