    I knew multiple people who spent several ten thousands USD in State of Survival. A fucking mobile game.

      A buddy of mine spent several thousand on Marvel Heroes. He wouldn’t go out to lunch with us, and finally I asked him what was going on. He eventually told me, we had a “dude…we are adults and can’t be doing that shit. Imagine the hookers and drugs you could have bought!”

      He quit, but still tells me he thinks about it and is immediately filled with regret.

          It’s crazy to me how we went from buying a complete game for $50, and now we get an enshitified, half completed mobile game for free but people spend hundreds of dollars playing it.

          And it’s nowhere near as good.
