A few thoughts:
- A lot of forum "bittervets" and "islanders" have spent a lot of money on this game. Few people have the energy to still make fun of PGI as much as FupDup does, but he's probably in the 99th percentile in terms of spending.
- A lot of people have spent a lot of money on the game, just for the sake of supporting the franchise and keeping Mechwarrior games alive. I always respect that, no matter who it is.
- Some people take some perverse pride in not spending any money on the game, despite clearly having the financial means to support the game (judging by their computers, etc) and I simply don't respect that at all. If you can't really pay anything because of your financial situation, that's obviously understandable. Obviously, nobody owes PGI anything, it's a F2P game. But there's nothing admirable about not giving something back for the service provided, just because you don't have to.

Now on top of those I bet we have tens of thousands of people who only play very irregularly or only played for a short time. Of those probably few spent $/€. But since they play so little, they don't make up a big part of the server population at any given time.
That's a good analysis. Ultimately, the important thing for PGI is whether the people who are playing the game regularly (i.e. putting the most amount of stress on the servers) are paying for stuff. If they have 500,000 players who never spend anything, but hardly ever play, it's not a huge problem.
