idk I wanna spend $16k on pachinko before I die though

Fix gamblers by teaching them to go all or nothing
Society will then weed out the unworthy

how does one spend 16 grand on a vidya?
i've only ever played like 300 on wow for a few years

i've spent that much on old magic cards and i don't regret it at all

>you will live to see gacha games hire hit squads to enforce debts over ecurrency debt.

War

Still cheaper than a coke habit

This sounds almost possible
I would support this wholly.

You don’t have a bitch wife

Those free to play apps on mobile. I knew a guy in high school who spent $700 on clash of clans.

I spent like forty bucarinos on Overwatch character customization items, and I felt bad about it. I make 110k annually. I can't imagine the amount of self hate that would be required to go into debt over a mobile game.

mobile games with "microtransactions" are money extraction machines
fuck game developers for following this system
fuck apple and google for popularising this shit
fuck game pirates for making it necessary for developers to do this in place of just charging for the game
basically fuck all of you

people like you who actually buy lootcrates are cunts.

Spent $3 in fallout shelter and immediately regretted it. Mobile games are pure cancer. They're not even fun time wasters, just garbage.

jokes on them, i played plants vs zombies 2 without spending a dime, i won all of the the dlc just by playing when I take a shit.

kids these days........

I don't know much about it, but I'm hearing a lot about dopamine rushes lately, and how game developers and web sites try to induce them (and that porn sites grant them). Maybe it's my next big red pill.

Yeah they are cancer. I stopped buying fifa when they started putting those pack microtransactions in the game. I know guys who have spent hundreds of euros on opening packs.

Gambling is worse than drug use as far as burning though money.
Drugs have a point where you cannot consume more and still live. Gambling always lets you spend more.

Eventually you can become poor and starve from it though.

ye I remember people spending a few hundreds on habbo hotel back in primary school and getting grounded

It's called a Skinner Box, and this concept is the downfall of gaming.

Modern video games are little more than glorified slot machines. There used to be "gambling" in games, like Diablo II for example, but it was never THE way of paying to win.

Games are just gambling now unless you're playing legit stuff like iRacing or similar.

I bet you main Hanzo you fucking nigger

>fuck game pirates for making it necessary for developers to do this in place of just charging for the game

I have 40+ games on my pc that are pirated, how mad are u user?

MGTOW

I bought a hat in tf2 once. i regret nothing!

You should unironically watch the South Park episode "Freemium isn't Free".

I must have an inborn Jewdar or something. I love vidya but mmo's and phone games are the only two genres that I've never even had the slightest interest in. They're just so fucking boring, how do people find doing mindless repetitive tasks in a game fun?

cs:go is the worst I dumped like $900 into it. Flexing on poor peasants was fun though

That's a good investment.

>16k on a mobile game

Oy vey, that's only 1/4 of a developer's salary. He should have spent at least 64k to make ends meet

I've spent that much on my track car, about that much is in my gun safe as well

Does that make me a child in an adult's body?

why would i be mad that you're wasting your life?

What's your best skin?

Modern F2P games are basically designed to be as addictive as possible. They should be regulated the same way as other types of gambling.

Fate GO player here. Holy shit that's sad, must suck having a gambling addiction and no self control.

No, guns are cool.

now thats a game i want to play.

You poor poor Australian souls

Losers should be fleeced for all they have. That money goes back into the economy and hopefully a dollar will eventually pass through my pocket. That guy is a genetic dead end.

>They are children in adult bodies.

Restore the covenant of labor. The covenant of labor is thus:

A man working forty hours per week, with at least two weeks of vacation per year, should be able to support a wife and two children in an owned home.

Since the covenant of labor has been broken, what reason is there to work your ass off

I spent my fair share of money on my colle games but only for the express purpose of making more space for my waifus. But a 5-digit expense on a game is just ridiculous.

Only idiots shell out for micro transactions

FTP model is the worst thing to ever happen to gaming. Every one is a classic Skinner box so some are bound to get addicted. It’s proven. And it’s downright evil to apply it to games.

I worked in video game QA departments for a decade. Here is a fun fact; some of those games I could debug myself millions, even billions of dollars worth of in game currency and not be able to beat the final levels of some of those games. Totally unbeatable.
100% scam.

No. The difference is that those are IRL hobbies that you have something to show for instead of blowing money on 1s and 0s.

DELETE THIS

>A man working forty hours per week, with at least two weeks of vacation per year, should be able to support a wife and two children in an owned home.


far too extreme... 4 x8 hour days with 6 weeks vacation should provide more then enough for a family, on one income.


hunter gatherers spent LESS time working to provide for themselves then we do today.

I don't understand, /pol. How one can spend 16K on a gambling in a game? What exactly do you have to buy to spend that much?

When Valve first put out the $2.50 crates in TF2 i ranted about how it was 100% gambling. People acted like i was blowing it out of proportion. It was the end of gaming and i knew it.

Now i just play playstation 2. $4 per game at the pawn shop and no nickle and diming bullshit. I was explaining to my friend how Gran Turismo 4 is still better to play today than any ps4 game just because there is no RNG, DLC or micro-transactions. Every single thing in the game is attainable and locked behind nothing more than skill walls.

>spends his money on game
>says "if wife ever forgives me"

MGTOW cemented as God-tier ideology.

This model has been working fine for some games for quite a while. In MtG you can buy packs of random cards, and no one complains that it is gambling. Or am I not understanding something?

He says he's in debt, frogbro. So perhaps he didn't spend exactly his money.

We need to get any game with micro transactions classified as gambling. Kill many birds with no stones.

>Or am I not understanding something?
The core concept. Games use to be about rewarding skill. Beat a boss get a new power. Skill was gained by trying over and over. Some games used skill and RNG (random number generators). Beat a boss, have a chance at a new power. Certain people found pleasure in finding the most efficient ways to grind rewards.

Now though games require very little skill and almost all rewards are behind pure RNG walls. For a small amount of real money the game will sell you a roll of the dice for the reward. If you chose to keep your CC put away, instead of efficiently grinding a boss, you now spend your time just hoping for a super rare drop from a random mob.

They really are. I saw a video of Star Wars outrage in California and it was all 18-20something year olds freaking out on the kid that worked there. The kid that worked there probably had more job experience than they all combined. Major nu-males in the crowd.

hunter gatherers also died from stubbing their toe or getting an ear infection and had no pleasures in life

Buying microtransactions is cancer. One time payments or nothing.

Especially in games like F/GO or Granblue, since the laws only require them to release the rates of each bracket they alter the rates within the bracket to create even more scarcity.

It's fine to play the games, but you hit a point that lucklets can't get past then is it really a game worth playing, or is it just a second job that keeps demanding money.

> For a small amount of real money the game will sell you a roll of the dice for the reward.
Well, this is indeed a new thing. It used to be that players would be able to trade the items that they found (or botted). So even if the game did make you pay for the top gear (like Diablo 2, although it is still enjoyable with garbage gear), the developers did not control the market.

Man I'd rather just live as a gambler for a few months slowly losing 16k. Just getthat COMPED lifestyle going

>meanwhile /biz/ fags flushed 10k on crypto last year and now they never have to work again

>he cares about what his wife thinks
what a cuck holy shit

H..holy fuck. The fabled white whale who killed gaming

I spent 16000 on fallout 4. I overpaid

>spends $16,000 on a mobile game

You can pirate games to unlock everything, you know. Freedom.apk is also great for spoofing microtransactions.

the only game i play is age of empires 2

Drafting is also a core component of mtg tournaments. Are there video games with drafting systems where everyone buys a few loot boxes and only uses what is contained in them?

I spent $20 to buy a better gun on COD. I'm 30. Felt bad.

Good news is that I'm ass at vidya now, so it's not addicting to play anymore.

>How do we fix millenials Sup Forums? They are children in adult bodies.

Gassing, and mass graves.

RIP to a generation who didn't learn how to live properly.

What a fucking retard, let's hope his kids aren't as stupid as he is

Oh and 20? For the negromancer dlc in diablo that I played for about an hour.

-11k real gambling this year, and both those feel/bother me worse lol

THAT NIGGA COULD"VE PUT THAT 16K ON BITCOIN. LUL

Yuo are like babby. I've been doing that + apps + movies since 1994. Even chipped consoles

MtG packs with super mythic rares (Expeditions, Invocations etc.) are essentially gambling

Kek.

I know a cuck that opened a store to sell Magic cards. I'm pretty sure he is broke and either out of business or close to it.

He is a Trump hating literal cuck with an ugly wife and a bunch of old magic cards no one wants. Still blames Trump tho.

>leaf
Stop trying save everyone and just let them burn. That's why you have migrants shitting on your streets.

I only play Yugioh because pirate simulators have all cards available cards and GNUtards program new ones on release day. No other TCG has a free simulator for god knows what reason.
A mate told me Magic 2015 on PC is kinda okay but it's paid shit and probably has microtransactions anyway. Switch to Mahjong or Bridge if you want to cut ties from the card jew.

So this is why they can't afford houses

Game stores have terrible ROI even when Run well. I'm not surprised a lefty crashed and burned.

>fuck game pirates for making it necessary for developers to do this in place of just charging for the game

Piracy has nothing to do with it, it popped up in MMOs where piracy is non-existent and then it grew and grew until MMOs that you have to buy and even ones that you have to buy the base game, the expansions, subscription and then microtransactions on top of that. Now it's leaking into triple A games due to greed.

Paying for games
Paying for items(microtrans) ingame
Actually playing games in 2017, besides a few Nintendo games and some other PC titles here and there.

No good shit to play basically

*know goys

Yeah, microtransactions should be illegal. If you don't have time to play the game properly then don't play.

Yeah, at least you'd get free sushi and hotel rooms in the end instead of nothing but pixels in a screen.

For one tell him to sue the company for creating an illegal gambling platform that takes advantage of people, including children.

Jesus Christ what a fucking idiot

I'll admit I'm addicted, but I could never bring myself to put money into this game. I can't even spend the gems I've saved up from all the shit I've cleared.

You cannot.

It's not just terrible for individuals, but it has also caused cultural shifts, like the destruction of the Japanese video game industry in favor of mobages.

I only started pirating because game companies got lazy about making games and started focusing on trying to prevent piracy.
The pirated versions are always much better. Take up less space and no microtransactions in my face.

$16,000, a month's salary, whoop dee doo who cares.

This story is also sad because of how much this guy had to keep this hobby to himself. Just read this line
> My kids, who ask me why I am playing Final Fantasy all the time
And imagine a little useless piece of shit pestering you while you're trying to get some rest. Also, kids copy such questions from other people. These were probably his wife's words
> Why you rest instead of working
> Why you rest instead of driving us to auntie McFarts
> Why you rest when I'm around
And then we are wondering why this guy's notion of fun was so warped.

Goddamn, I spent 30 dollars on a mobile golf game and thought I was a loser. That's a nice little econo car to spend on bullshit.

>blowing money on up quarks and down quarks
Not an argument

>tfw spent over 500$ on Pokemon GO.
I had a fun time so that is all that matters, there is nothing to fight for anyway.

he was just avoiding his wifes nagging and kids that look a little too much like the plumber

Spending money on it is sad, I spent 3-4 bucks on the card game one but when I hit the mainstream arenas it instantly wants 8+ for everything, it's some bullshit and they definitely take advantage of people who they know will pay.

I really don't think you can eat enough butter to gain weight. It will be the shit you put the butter on that goes straight to your ass.

what a fucking moron

>This is what keto fags actually believe
