That's one hooked player and props to him for supporting what he likes. I know I'd spend that much on anything FromSoft has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheErebus. Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just, why? Because he enjoys the product and would like to see it improve. Same reason anyone would do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheErebus. Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 But $30,000 for a game? Yeah. I've seen people donate $10,000 dollars to kickstarter movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade343 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yeah. I've seen people donate $10,000 dollars to kickstarter movies. But what if it fails? When people have enough cash to spend generously on their hobbies. Ahh, the dream life. Not to step on his decision, but he is spending a lot on a relatively risky hobby, with little returns.

Katinka Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 If you've got the money and that's what you want to do with it then go ahead. Better to spend it and have fun than hide it away out of fear of not having it later. It's good for the economy to spend it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Not to step on his decision, but he is spending a lot on a relatively risky hobby, with little returns. Most hobbies aren't meant to be things that you earn your money back with. A hobby is something you do to enjoy yourself. Your return is the enjoyment you reap, not a cash return. Most gamers play games as a hobby; you and me. I don't expect anyone to buy my copy of a game disk for more than I paid for it, but I don't care. It was $60 well-spent, that I had hours and hours of fun with. What if the game fails? You move on. I've spent thousands of hours into Warframe, in-game and out of it. I recognize my efforts will ultimately be for naught, but that isn't the point. The point is is that I had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM-Bunny Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 What if the game fails? You move on. I've spent thousands of hours into Warframe, in-game and out of it. I recognize my efforts will ultimately be for naught, but that isn't the point. The point is is that I had fun. Yeah, exactly. At least this fellow can rest easy knowing that he did more than his fair share to prevent the game's failure. It would be painful to know that this game was offering the world, but failed - and you could've stopped it if you had supported it. I'm not saying it isn't excessive, but I'm proud to support Warframe monetarily because I believe in it (even though that belief has been shaken by certain developments) so I can certainly share the sentiment, and I won't make fun of this man for doing it.

Renegade343 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Most hobbies aren't meant to be things that you earn your money back with. Not just money; what about knowledge? I would happily spend lots of money on a hobby if I know I would gain important knowledge on its subject matter, for one. What if the game fails? You move on. I've spent thousands of hours into Warframe, in-game and out of it. I recognize my efforts will ultimately be for naught, but that isn't the point. The point is is that I had fun. I know that, but that does not mean it is still a risky investment nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion-Shields Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 But $30,000 for a game? most boating hobbyists would consider that pocket change. The guy in the link with the 30 grand mentions he's spent more than that on tuning his cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejuizb Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 With 30 grand, I'd probably toss it all toward's my sister's future postsecondary education and not look back at all, but nonetheless, props to the man for supporting something he believes in :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Pharen Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Whoa, that's more than I've earned in my entire life combined. I made 45k last year in my old job. Too bad the government screwed the country over, and made a lot of businesses go under, and a lot of people made redundant. Good old Dohn Key, worst Prime minister in the history of prime ministers, honestly, a piece of cheese could run our country better.

Freelancer27 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Unless you're a business investor, I see no reason why you can't spend cash on something that will return to you eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzatuw Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I would spend that much on the right game. Imo the risk is higher than the reward for SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoner Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I bet he just found 30'000$ in his couch laying there lonely. Then he went to play and had a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityOfTrees Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 guys, keep the anger inside, financial differences are nothing new to you, right? That said, if he really likes the game that much, he should do as he likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
