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.
These games are designed to take advantage of addicts. The fact that you don’t know how much it will cost to get what you want, the fact that there is no limit on how much you can spend, is a feature.
addicts and/or people who have more money than they know what to do with.
It’s like a casino but there is nothing to win. Honestly people that are stupid enough to spend money on bullshit like this deserve anything that comes their way. Don’t waste your money on bullshit. Lesson learned.
Numb-nuts like these people are why every game is riddled with microtransactions
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.
We should request/make new gaming categories.
Casual, for moms and aunts.
Classic, for gamers, us, dedicated to games, sitting on forums, knowing the market and following “and remember - no preorders” like rules.
Gacha, for streamers.
Milk farms, for rich who don’t know what do to with monies, so they can spend $32000 per game ez.
Everyone gets something, and we will know to stay away from other categories.
./s just in case.
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.
It’s him, John Microtransaction.
This is disgusting.
It’s not even a good game. It’s not significantly improved from previous titles why people paying microtransactions for this let alone buying the game at all

Honestly, if you can AFFORD TO SPEND $32k in five months, that’s on you.
