Oh, hey.
I play a game on the App Store called Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. It's the only app I've ever spent money on in terms of microtransactions. And today while looking at my recent purchases on my account I realized I've spent a little over $250. That's insane. And I never really noticed.

It's actually pretty crazy, I was genuinely shocked. Not that I necessarily regret it, and it's not that big of a deal because of how long I've been playing it and how much content the game puts out, but it's just weird to put that money there instead of a full fledged game.

Granted it's a damn good game, but still.

What's the most you've ever spent in a game outside of the base cost and DLC (actual micros)?

I spent around $50 bucks on FFXIV that wasn't my subscription and expansion shit. Literally just cosmetic shit and a mount from the e-shop, but so sad fucks out there actually spend IRL money for gil.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
Put $40 into Overwatch loot boxes once and got some stuff I wanted so it worked out for me.

Bought a couple skins in Heroes of the Storm, don't know how much I spent. I think maybe around $30.

I spent $5 in Uncharted 4 to get Chloe cause she's best grill.

When I used to play Clash of Clans a few years ago I spent $60 on the game and I regret every penny of it.

I put quite a bit into Halo 5 day one and didn't even get a DMR to show for it.

You know I bought that too, my brother and I said if they ever added it we had to buy it, little did we know they actually did eventually

Dude the mount I got was fucking awesome though.

Spoiler

I'm genuinely surprised by how many of you have spent money on microtransactions. I don't think I've ever bought anything other than actual DLC.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I think like 80p on a Gears Lancer Omen Skin once.

Spent hundreds on DLC and larger items however. Closest thing to Microtransactions has been Premium tanks on WoT.

If I enjoy playing the game then I'll spend some money on it to get things I want.
