Don’t think of this as an individual making stupid choices with a game. Think of this as a game with thousands of players designed to target and take advantage of the neuro-divergent or those susceptible to problem gambling.
Micro-tranactions are a predatory gambling mechanic and this person was robbed of this money.
Numb-nuts like these people are why every game is riddled with microtransactions
Why I avoid these types of games. It’s mostly about smaller studios these days who make the good games.
Yup. Sometimes larger studios make a good game, but most of the games I play are from indies or smaller AA studios.
Are ya winning, son?
This question no longer needs to be asked.
No. No he’s not.
Nobody is winning anymore.
He may break even if his content generates enough income. I almost applaud him for the effort, because publishers aren’t going to be straightforward with the amount you’d need to spend for a completionist. This is probably the only way to shed light on the problem, even if that wasn’t his intent.
Hopefully he is. I mean, that’s an awful lot of money to spend to not win.
If he’s a YouTuber and it’s a work expense I’d think the videos he made on it more than offset the cost, pretty sure that’s how it works with the gacha creators that spend $200K on genshin impact
Yup. I watch MtG Arena draft videos, and they throw hundreds with worth of resources sometimes in a single video, but they’re also making ad revenue and whatnot, so it works out. And viewer numbers are peanuts compared to more mainstream games.
They should be forced to reimburse. This is beyond predatory.
what’s fucking sad is I don’t think this guy even realizes he has a problem.
One things for sure, I will not spend this much again, because you don’t get rewarded for it. As much as I spent, I should have everything in the game, but it’s not even close.
That’s what you say when you’ve spent like $100. hell maybe even $1000. But $32k??? This is so far beyond being not “rewarded for it”.
Consider they might be the kid of someoneand their monthly allowance is more than $32000
It’s him, John Microtransaction.
I wonder if someone spent even more on some random Gacha Game.
This is disgusting.
True
I bought 2k21 as my first sports game in a long time. I never knew how bad they got , I just wanna hoop.
Honestly, if you can AFFORD TO SPEND $32k in five months, that’s on you.
