Why do people spend thousands of dollars on a single video game? Seriously, I'm really asking here. I've played Mech Arena for over 2 1/2 years and spent a couple hundred by now, which I'm a bit ambivalent about, but seems in line with a streaming subscription or such. But thousands? So many people do this and I just don't get it. Why would anyone do this when they can just buy a bunch of console and computer games, and maybe a vacation in the Caribbean instead?

Stupid thoughtless whales buy everything without a second thought plarium knowing full well they can screw with the "game" however they want knowing they won't leave because of sunk cost and probably won't even stop spending even though they say so. They might get mad and stop spending for a bit and plarium gives them pennies in attempt to make it up. Then they go "alright" and straight back to buying everything without a second thought.

The game is very good but it is not possible for a player who doesn't spend to compete with who to spend, you need to spend a little because if not you become a punching bag because the new items that are released are Premium at the beginning of the game, that's okay with you no longer spends after a certain level needs
the problem is not in the players but in the company because it wants to profit from the victories because if the game was fully paid it would not be a problem, now the problem is that you see an advertisement for a free game, put a weak free thing, and leave the best paid things just to encourage you to spend and spend to stay on top, because then those things you bought will be weak and you will need to spend more money to stay on top it's an endless cycle.
People's money is none of your business. You clearly don't have expendable income.
you're afraid of your equipment that was bought and could take a nerf just to show up later on a better one this will make you spend more because the previous investment will no longer be of any use you are a victim and you still haven't realized it

This game can go bankrupt and close down and it would have zero effect on me at all. I'll just move on. Money is not a problem for me and nor is the existence of this game. Yes it would suck if what I spent on this game make what I spend my money on become obsolete and that is why I will express against nerfing of these items.
