Holy shit. I spend a lot on video games, probably more than anyone should. But my biggest expenditures would be say a new system or peripheral. I can’t even imagine spending that much, on one game, for no good reason.
If developers and publishers of these games werent complete pieces of shit, they would at least place a cap on how much one person could spend. But they won’t.
