Most children and even adults are obsessed with games. Because of their blind obsession, they waste a lot of money.
A user asked the forum, “What’s one of the biggest wastes of money in gaming.” Here are the top responses.
PHYSICAL BOXES FOR CODES
“Physical boxes with no disc/cartridge. Or, seemingly worse, physical boxes for download codes for cosmetic content for Fortnite. In what world does that make sense, physical boxes for download codes for a game that is online/download only and free to play?”
DELUXE EDITION
“This latest trend of ‘Deluxe Edition’ which has a bad audio track included, but it’s just a money grab for ‘Early Access’ to play the game five days early, and they schedule the regular release on a Tuesday, meaning if you want to play it on getaway over the weekend, you need to pay an extra $30 and I think it’s bad.
You won’t sit on a game six months later and reminisce about how you got to start playing it five days early.”
SPECIAL EDITIONS
“Special Editions. $10-20 more for a cosmetic you’ll never see or a weapon you’ll use for two levels before it’s obsolete.”
SPENDING ON THINGS LIKE PAYDAY 3
“Spending on things like Payday 3 that’s online only and unplayable for those three days anyway.”
ARMOUR HELMET
“My Fallout 76 Power Armour Helmet is sitting at the back of a shelf in my spare room, so I never even see it. I eventually got the canvas bag, though, which was nice.”
THE WARRANTY
“The warranty. It is useful if you have kids, animals, or psycho ex-lovers that will take a pair of pliers to your cartridge and snap it in half in a fit of rage because you liked someone else’s Instagram post.”
MICROTRANSACTIONS
“Most of the money you spend in single-player games after you buy them except for big DLC (Downloadable Content). It’s like microtransactions in some recent Assassin’s Creed games or cosmetic DLC for single-player games. Like Horse armor, it should be notorious by now. Maybe Sims DLC, half of them aren’t worth it.”
PAID SKINS IN GAMES
“Paid skins in games. I would much rather they be locked behind challenges like the good old days. Having certain skins was a show of skill.”
PRE-ORDERING
“Pre-ordering games is probably the biggest waste of money in gaming, but people keep doing it.”
SWITCH JOY-CONS
“Switch Joy-Cons. Yes, they are necessary, but the MadCatz quality is still bad. How does Nintendo make one of the best controllers (pro) and the worst?”
EXPENSIVE GAMING KEYBOARDS
“Expensive gaming keyboards that provide no advantage whatsoever.”
LIVE SERVICE GAMES
“Live service games with an upfront $70 cost. No way I’m paying for a game and then having to pay for each season.”
BUYING GAMES AT FULL PRICE
“Buying games at full price. No game is worth the prices they charge for games these days. Put on your wishlist and wait for it to be reduced to a reasonable price.”
COOLING FANS
“Additional console cooling fans that just make overheating worse.”
STRATEGY GUIDES
“Strategy guides. The internet had that covered over a decade ago. Yet I saw one listed as part of a limited game edition this year.”
