I'm just curious how much people spend on in app purchases in mobile games, if they do at all. Because I'm kinda cheap when it comes to this and just can't see anyone I know spending serious money on this. To be honest, I'm basically a leech when it comes to most things on the internet.
lol free games are free games! When you use money to pay for free games, well, there's something wrong there now, isn't it?
Really depends on what you're playing the game for I guess? If you're playing casually for fun, don't spend. If you want to be in the top percentage of players, you have to become a whale lol From my experience, mobile games do provide the premium currency (what you get when you pay IRL money) for free from like daily login and quests and stuff. You might be able to just save up for things you want in-game.
I spent some in a game a while back, I stopped playing the game a bit after, so it wasn't the best of purchases... I don't regret it though. It was worth it for me. I've heard this argument before, and I disagree. At some point in time, you'll probably have some 30 or so games you have yet to start in your steam library, and another 20-100 free games downloaded on your PC that you haven't started yet. Sooner or later you'll realize that buying another game is a waste of money, simply because... You won't play it. You have too much stuff to tplay, and too little time to do it. So, if you have enough money to spare, and buy premium currency on a mobile game that you are playing, I don't see why you wouldn't do it. It would be better than playing another game that will stay in your library for 5 years until you finally have the time to play it. If you haven't reached the point in which your library is bigger than your free time though, then I do agree that it is better to spend the money in a new game.
I think there were statistics that indicated that around 96% of mobile game players never spend a penny, and yet the average amount spent per person was about $4. Which shows just how much the whales dump!!
I'm one of the no lifer who spend money on games >_> I bought This War of Mine and when Pokemon Go and Battle Royale was such a huge hit. I bought some in app stuffs too >_>
Depends how deep I am in the game/how badly I want something. An example is going to be how much I will be spending on some of the upcoming units in fate grand order(at least a specific one). That's gonna be a bad time
I'm poor, but I did buy premium version of a game sometime ago. I never buy in game currency though... I still resisting the urge to buy that love gem in LLSIF. it's hard... especially because I really like the game
I was curious about how much I spend on mobile games so i did an excel with all my spendings on google plya Results : About 1100€ in 2 years on mobile games (Summoners War, Pokemon Go, Fire Enblem Heroes ...) So I stopped XD No like seriously it's accumulating little by little until you realize you could buy a new computer T_T
I may pay for a single time, meaning biying games is no big deal, in app purchases go gainst my gamer spirit.
