(#1) An Offer She Couldn't Refuse
From TheTreeMan:
"One of my old friends's mom is hooked on Mafia Wars (I think that's what it's called) on Facebook. She's probably sunk at least 40 to 50 thousand dollars into it. Probably even more. Her house is absolutely trashed, and she basically completely withdrew from her son's life.
"The last time I can remember going over, her entire room was filled with just hundreds of pizza boxes and McDonalds bags. When you enter the house, the smell just smacks you in the face, even though she basically just stays in her room."
It led to my friend getting into drug dealing, just to be able to pay for his school, payments on the house, and food. It's pretty ridiculous. He ended up dropping out of college, and getting pulled into that type of life, which led to me cutting ties with him. We haven't talked for at least three to four years.
I'm not sure if she's still hooked on it, but I hope she's found the help she needs."

(#17) No Regrets To Be Found Here
From Stomish:
"In the 312 hours i've spent on War Thunder i've spent about $130 on the game. It got me special premium planes with increased RP, premium currency, and premium account time. I'd say it was worth it, it's a fun game and I haven't even experimented with simulator mode yet! Love my German Tempest Mk.V :)"

(#16) Beer Or Kingdoms Of Camelot?
From Kinnakeet:
"I spent a few grand over 4 years of playing Kingdoms of Camelot. i justified it by how much i spent on other hobbies of mine that gave nothing in return, like drinking beer. If i had no problem dropping 50-60 dollars at the bar on a friday night, i had no problem spending that trying to get better shit on KoC."

(#2) Impatience Explains Everything
From Xion4762:
"I play Game of War Fire Age way too often, so I'll speak on behalf of this game. There are a few different groups. Non spenders, occasional spenders, daily spenders, and overspenders.
"In the game, you can pay anywhere from $5 to $100 at a time for packs of items such as speedups, resources, and gold. You're an idiot if you don't get a 'special pack' because if you don't all you get is the gold and a worthless item or two. The specials have hundreds of good items. The trick is, every time you buy a special pack, the prices goes up. $5, then $10, then $20, then $100.
"Back to the original topic. Im an occasional spender and I have spent over $1000 in the span of 200 or so days. Most players of the game plays daily to make sure their troops don't die. Its not uncommon for a player to spend $10k or more. Some players are rich in real life and have spends hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"It hugely unbalances the game but it gives others an incentive to spend to even it out. Create a reason for players to play a lot and get addicted, and they will play. Also, make players want to speedup their "builds" or whatever you want to call them. Impatient people will spend lots of money."

(#9) Nope, $700 Is Still A Lot
From MrPlumkitten:
"About $700~ on Warspear online. I normally don't spend on mobile games but was addicted to this one cos it was the only open PvP game worth playing even though highly p2w till today.
"Edit: been playing the game for 4years. So 700 isn't much."

(#12) Cash For Upgraded Clans
From Ranndym:
"Last year I probably spent between $200-300 on Clash of Clans. I did it because I was playing every day with friends online and I didn't feel like waiting 10 days for some upgrades. I was making over six figures at the time so I didn't care about fifty dollars or a hundred dollars every few months. The game itself is a well-designed time sink that makes millions from people that don't feel like waiting. I finally stopped playing because of the time sink element of it."
