@teto I spent $1000~ on phantasy star online 2 but that was over the course of 4 years and the system was great because you could sell and buy everything with in-game currency. I would just drop $10 on a scratch and could always get the stuff I wanted from it. It's pretty much the only game I played so it's not like I was spending money on other games either. It's like buying a AAA game every quarter, and I have plenty of friends who did that or even more than that. I feel like, for how much gameplay I got out of it, kind of worth. That also includes the price of premium while I had it, which is probably around half the amount.

Definitely would never have spent that much on the gacha if you weren't able to sell the stuff you got from it. Might not have spent anything. It's the only time I've EVER bought stuff like that. I can't fathom how people spend any amount of money, let alone hundreds of dollars, so that they can maybe get what they want. Hell, I'd be frustrated when I get shit I'd never use from free drops in games like rocket league or call of duty.
