Message them and be like "my nephew got my phone and bought all this shit! I didn't even know he downloaded the app!"

You'll feel like shit from doing that too, but at least you'll still have $250

I always wondered what kind of subhuman whale actually throws that much money at literally nothing. Now I guess I know.

I don't really get how people can justify spending $400+ on a new phone every other year but a 99 cent transaction is a major life decision.

I play Fire Emblem Heroes literally every day and it's my favorite Nintendo series so that's my justification for dumping so much money into it

Lately though I've been just buying the occasional orb pack

It's getting incredibly difficult to, you know, just buy a game.

Just give me a damn price, let me pay it and let me play your game.

Anyone playing anything decent on mobile right now that you just... bought? I'd be interested to here about it.

The last game that I just "bought" is ICEY and before that it was Final Fantasy Dimensions (Apparently Dimensions 2 is bad so don't buy that one)

You know Dokkan Battle got caught adjusting odds so that whales have very low chances of getting the banner characters, right?

I've probably sent around a total of $50 on Duel Links since it came out last year >_> But the game feels like it's dying now. I had fun with it when it was in its prime tho.

It depends.

If someone's playing a game for a decade, has thousands of hours invested, it's a fair value.
If you spend it on idiotic pay2win microtransactions, then spending even 10$ is regret worthy.

Meta has been so stagnant, first it was just Sylvansn now it's just Fur Hire decks everywhere.
They're slowing reducing gem rewards on every aspect while at the same time, a data leak revealed that the next mini box is going to have 100 packs in it.
Still no Cyber Dragon despite having 4 Zane Truesdale events and 2000 ATK beaters already released.
Events have been so boring lately

I've spent $130 in the last two weeks on Hearthstone.

I don't regret it.

Now that's the scary part.

Dont feel bad. Back when I was more affluent I spent at least several thousand on Star Trek Online.

Dumb, but I did get to be first person to get the new lockbox ships when they came out like several times lmao.

Didn't that game get fucked over by some OP dragon that can repeat every single battlecry? >_>

I don't really get how people can justify spending $400+ on a new phone every other year but a 99 cent transaction is a major life decision.

Because a phone is a borderline necessity in this day and age and the phone itself can do so many things, plus many people pay in installments instead of one giant lump sum. A one time .99 cent purchase isnt a big deal but then it usually spirals into multiple ones and before you know it you spent $250 like TC over here.

Accountability and self control is definitely a factor, but it's not as black and white as "$400 vs. $1"

I remember not pulling the OG SV with free stones and rage bought Xenoverse 2 instead of stones. A couple weeks ago I was able to rainbow my OG SV lol

I'll always be F2P for that game. Treat stone purchases as donations to the developers.
