My personal situation -
Bought two merc packs - about sixty bucks in australia
Bought 50000 aurum, another 30 bucks
Bought planetside 2 alpha pack - 40 bucks
Sponsored Ouya on kickstarter - 150 bucks
Saw a stack of psn cards less than half price bought ton of wallet cash - 125
And thats about it in terms of games entertainment spend so far this year...
Then, system enhancements this year...
Both ps3 upgraded to ssd - 200 bucks
Px21 headphones - 70 bucks
Razer hydra for pc - 120 bucks
Still under a grand.
Hmm where i live, a grand would get you maybe 2 or 3 good nights in the city partying if i was into that sort of thing.
Why do i spend on games, entertainment?
Job.
Healthy lifestyle - no fast food, gambling, drinking in bars etc.
Spend most time at home, work from home, play a small number of games for long periods.
Look at two particular games, dust and planetside, as potentially being played for next few years.
So bit of support for developers plus advance payment yielding benefits is justified in my book.

Nah I get bored of each build before I even start to get low......I've always got plenty left when they wipe and then its all reset anyway, and I use AUR gear too....
Once the game gets better and becomes a long term daily grind, things might change....that's why I snapped up plenty of 50 dollar psn cards at half price....
For me, gaming is cheap entertainment without "social complications" |

Mate three faction battles at The Crown, that last for hours, that have no timer or rounds, that have aircraft, armor, infantry, anti-air, emplaced turrets, APC's - THAT is WHY you buy the laptop mate
I swear, I've been playing fps since WolfenStein 3d and Planetside2 is as a paradigm shift in terms of today's gaming experience, just as wolfenstein 3d was back then.... |
