Maybe I'm just too old school, but I just don't see the fun of just spending money to win, like what is the fun of that? I mean, I've spent a little on FTP games that I really enjoyed like LoL, but it wasn't more then like $75, and it was all for the cool skins I wanted. Shadow of War is a pretty good example, the game was designed to allow you to spend money on loot boxes in hopes of getting good orces instead of fun and interesting ways to earn them, and I just don't think that is fun.

To each their own, but I'd consider investing some of that money into RRSPs and crap instead of wasting on a game that's servers will one day shut off and you'll have nothing to show for your investment.


I have a tsp account, and a government retirement account, it's straight.
Microtransaction are a time saver for me. between my family and work, I don't have much time to game, so rather than farming boxes and trading in rocket league, I buy keys. It's all bout convenience... cept for FEH, that's all Waifu hoarding. Rocket league and overwatch all cosmetics, same with Destiny. still need skill some where.

And that's great, I'm glad you feel that way, but none of what I said is wrong. Assuming you're making 100k (you may be making more, who knows) a year by yourself, if you're spending -hundreds- a week on this stuff, you're blowing 10%+ of your annual salary on valueless bits of data. That is irrational.

What is irrational about spending money on a good that gives him utility? You may find it irrational but it could be the combination of spending that gives TC the most utility. You also seem to be assigning value arbitrarily, why go to the theatre to watch valueless images on a screen, why download music for valueless audiobytes? Why buy a book for valueless words on a page? Why go to strip club for valueless dances? My point is you can't just TC's spending based on your personal beliefs about the value and utility of something.

Why don't you just buy 75+ every time? It's cheaper that way.
