if the money spend for useless game stuff was given to the poor, the world would be better place. Millions and Billions of dolars actually helping people for a change.
Im sure 40$ spend on a costume so you to have some "fun", would give much more happines to someone who is dying from hunger somewhere.
Lol, it's cute that you believe that $40 would help someone. If you'd like to guilt someone, though, feel free to talk to the US about their $1 Trillion military budget. I'm fairly certain that $50 Billion annually would bandaid the homeless problem in the US.
3 points :
1: 40 x every single person that buys the outfit = over 5000 $
2: Im just trying to use arguments why spending money online is pointless xD I cant see myself having fun if someone buyed something and has it, over me, that i dont have it and i really want it.
3:Usa is in foult for everything in the world.
Again, I can appreciate what you're saying. There are plenty of frills that you can buy for your online game that seem pointless, but would be nice to have. I'd also like a Ferrari, though, but that's not going to happen. That's just it, too. People don't like that real-world class differentiation is now making it's way into games. The reality is that if a game (probably doesn't even matter which one) advertised an item limited to 20 items only and sold them for $10,000 each, it's probable that there would be 20 people to buy it. Why? Because they can and you can't. This is reality, though, I'm not sure why you have such a hard time accepting that, in life, some people are going to have more and better stuff than you.
Secondly, world hunger is a huge problem, I agree, but you aren't going to solve it by asking for money. How long have world hunger campaigns been running now? It could be solved, but it would never be solved by money alone. There are plenty of other political and unrest issues in third world countries that would need to be taken care of before anything could happen. Otherwise, what happens? We build infrastructure so that people can get water and grow their own food. Yay! As soon as we leave, some militia group rolls in, knocks down everything and re-sells anything that is worthwhile selling. Boooo!
On your third point, I'm not really sure why you feel that the US is at fault for everything in the world. They may have agendas of their own, but if you believe that there are much worse people/governments/countries out there that you should probably worry about.
First of all, The games should not bring IRL in any point. Only because of what you said. It is like those useless Kikstarter campaings where for only 25k donnation you get to do whatever you want in the game, and people pay (Honestly idk how they get the money) Reallity sucks >.> thats why people play MMORPG anyway. I will be glad someone to make an other system different than the money one, but that wont be happening any time soon.
World hunger can be solved with money But again, no one really wants to spend money to actually clear those countries. The entire "my border is mine" situation is stupid. There should be no borders and no countries .
and last. In the mood of the first comment about the dept of us i said us is all its foult. Well, also not everything in the world but from historical and world point you have to agree that us is responsible for some things.
P.S. I dont want ferrari. I don't drive. If i had 10 million dollars i would buy exactly nothing with them. I don't like spending money for things i don't need in the first place.
See!!! My point exactly! If you had 10 million dollars you wouldn't do anything with it? Like help the hungry or homeless in your region?
As far as RL money transactions. If you think that real money transactions are new, you're wrong. Fact is that games have been missing out on BILLIONS for years. Also, by spending money, you're keeping someone employed and not on the corner begging for food.
According to everything I read, for $20 you get the game and your character transferred. Once done, however, that's it. You characters live different lives.
The one thing I DIDN'T see.. was if I could spend $20 on XBO and $20 on PS4 and have my characters on all of them.
Yes, you can spend $20 on XBO and $20 on PS4 and have your characters on all of them. They will play separately, but you will have characters on 3 different platforms if you spend $40.
