fuck off, jerry
Spent $8,000 trying to get Messi on my FIFA Ultimate Team, still never got him.
>>333749751
Step 1: get Messi.
Step 2: get ducked by a lucky goal from a bronze team when yours turn to spaastics.

I hate this fucking game but no other online shooter compares and If I don't wear hats I get called a noob/hacker, even with the proof of purchase and 3K hours to boot.
No, can someone legitimately explain to me why people buy those fucking skins in CSGO?
$100+ for a fucking shitty knife skin? $50 for an AWP skin? When I encounter these suckers online, I don't think they're cool, I just feel sorry for them.
How do they justify this stupidity?
>>333750902
Not everyone is as poor as you
>>333751040
>not being stupid enough to pay $100 for a shitty virtual skin is being poor
Holy fucking shit, you just made my day.
>>333751178
It's $100. You can't do anything substantial with $100
>>333750902
P e e r P r e s s u r e
Everytime I have heard about someone buying a $200 knife, it was because their brother or best friend found a cool knife and they felt that they had to show them up.
>>333750902
No one buys skins except richfags.
Most people enjoy gambling and opening crates for that one time where you get an ultra rare and valuable item.
Same reason adults play the lottery, its literally gambling aimed at kids.
>>333751349
Is that your best justification for spending $100 on a shitty virtual skin? kek
Be honest, how many virtual cosmetics have you spent money on, and how much money have you spent total?
>>333749524
>>he spent money on a fucking cosmetic virtual item
PoE is filled with people who buy glowing helmets for $20+. All F2P games have that shit though.
>>333751040
Think of all the other shit you can buy with that though. If you have that much disposable income why not buy more games? Or save it and buy a motorcycle or some shit?
>>333749524
He spent more than $5 on a fucking bunch of pixels
I bought a fucking WoW mount for 10 bucksbecause it was 50% off
>>333751349
If that's your reasoning you should just go withdraw your whole bank account in increments of $100 because fuck it $100 isn't substantial and won't make a difference.
>>333751721
The gambling thing I can understand in some aspect, it's still stupid as fuck for anyone willing to fall for it.
Blatantly buying make-believe items that have no effect on gameplay is just sad, however. If you want to waste money, how about wasting it on something that could impress people in real life? You know, not the 12-year-olds on Dust II fawning over your SUPER EPIC AWP skin.
>>333751349
you can buy a lot of books for 100 usd, or a lot of vidya, or a lot of food
>>333751768
I haven't spent money on any cosmetics. I just don't think $100 is that stupid or absurd.
There are dumber things to spend $100 on, like going out with a chick who's going to dump you on the 4th date, some tech gizmo with little practical use, or a single pair of pants,
>>333752206
>comparing a single purchase to spending literally all your money
>>333752365
>there's dumber shit to spend $100 on
>so therefore, the really dumb shit that I spend $100 on isn't dumb
keep digging your hole, anon
>>333751349
>you can't do anything with 100 bucks
>so i spend 100 bucks on make-believe gun skins
pffffff-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>he's spent literally any amount of money on a cosmetic item
You're not better than them, OP. You just have less money to piss away.
>>333752518
Unless you're somebody who's barely scraping by, $100 is not that much money to throw away on a triviality once or twice.
i spent $500 on a virtual knife
(cash in person, it's worth closer to 700)
ama
>>333752927
>$100 is not that much money to throw away
This might be bait.
>on a triviality
Wait, he agrees is a triviality.
>once or twice.
Ok, nigger, you're baiting us.
>>333752769
I haven't spent any money on cosmetic items. I just thought I'd give some leeway for the fags that had a buck or two left in their Steam account and had nothing else to spend it on, so they decided to buy a WACKY hat for TF2.
I could let that slide. $50 for a skin, though? Nah.
>>333753090
Contrary to what most of /v/ thinks, not every post you disagree with is bait
>>333753064
why
>pay for anything ingame
you are why MMO's are complete shit.
>>333750462
>have so many fucking crates that if all of them sell I could easily get at least 2 dollars
>nobody buys them.
Hahahahahahaha
t. guy with a golden gun and golden armor in planetside 2
I've spent $60 in cosmetics and item slots in Warframe, but I'm not going to spend any more.
The cost of a retail game is my limit.
>tfw too jewish to spend any money on any f2p games and rather grind all my time for shit
>>333753064
Do plan on flipping it or are you a faggot?
>>333753386
I have 45$ on my account and im about to buy an asiimov, and there's nothing you can do about it faggot
>Judges people for buying virtual cosmetics
>Smokes
Eggs fucking Dee
>>333753839
no, it's the only skin in the game I have, it's a karambit fade 95
one day if I get sick of the game i'll sell it probably
>bought one of those $5 character skin packs for Killing Floor 2 to support Tripwire
>they have done fuck-all to update their game
>all the hype from the dev vids prior to early access release got me hyped
>turns into just another early access title
>microtransactions out the wazoo
>have to wear the character skin to feel like I didn't waste 5 bucks, but at the same time, I feel ashamed that I supported a developer that has fucked over their fanbase
>they've recently added a completely shit PvP mode that doesn't fit the game at all
>it honestly doesn't seem too far off from going F2P
Is KF2 going to be the next Payday 2?
>>333753865
More like assimov, Redline is better.
I bet you're the fag who ruins his guns with stickers.
>>333750902
Can someone legitimately explain to me why people buy video games?
$300+ for a fucking shitty computer that you can't even read books on? $60 for 8 hours of degenerate, escapist entertainment? When I encounter these suckers in real life, I don't think they're cool, I just feel sorry for them
How do they justify this stupidity?
>>333753865
>"I'm going to eat a whole bowl of shit, and you can't stop me! Haha, you can't stop meeeeeeee!"
>>333753495
I thought that obviously retarded post were mostly bait.
Thanks for proving me wrong.
>>333753526
sort of a reward for getting a job a while back, I don't really play anything except for csgo, guy at work was over the game and sold it to me
>>333754204
>buying a piece of media that provides entertainment
>the same as buying a skin that has literally no function
Holy shit, the bait is real. Or maybe you really are this retarded.
>>333749524
>he spent money for video games
>>333754225
>buy skins for csgo
>get tired of them at some point
>sell them and buy games
Point ONE flaw in this logic faggot
Pro tip:you can't
>>333754080
Hey I loved Killing Floor 1, my man.
And I have no problem supporting developers.
Yeah some go the micro-transactions way and it sucks.
But at least 5 bucks isn't a lot.
Some people donate hundreds of dollars because they really wanna see them make a great game again and still see this happen.
KF2 might turn out great if they get their shit together, but they're becoming to hellbent on income rather than the fun of the first game.
Who knows?
>>333750462
>playing online games
>playing shooters
>>333754442
you forgot how they actually keep increasing in value, not just keeping their value
if you take sites like OPskins into account, or bank transfers, it's literally better than investing in literal gold.
>>333754442
Two wordsdiminishingreturnsfaggot
>>333749524
>pay £9 for tf2 keys
>get unusual
>sell it for £45
after that i didnt bother with keys much, and i dont play anymore anyway
>>333754442
You actualy wont get your money back to use for different, non steam things.
You will get less because Valve wants their cut.
The items may decrease in value/the bubble might burst.The only thing PC gaming has going for it are 10$ indie games
>>333754442
So do you enjoy getting cucked by the Jews and giving them their cut when you buy and sell virtual items that have no use?
>>333749524
>he doesn't make $1000 a day from his own home
>>333754505
That's the point. I don't play online shooters because TF2 is the only good one. Fuck CoD.
>>333754397
By judging someone else's money-spending, you're being as much of a cunt as that intellectual faggot. Everyone has some form of justification for their purchase. Just because you value function over form doesn't make everyone with different values an idiot for not being like you
>>333754665
>nutted and strutted the shitty tf2 economy
You smart.
>>333749524
>mfw i spent over $500 on cosmetic items in two mmo games over the course of one month
I want to slap myself.
>>333754797
There are no good shooter games, and certainly no good online games.
Finding a good game that is both is several degrees of impossible.
>>333754876
So if I buy a shitty pair of Spiderman sunglasses at Walmart for $500, you can't judge me. I VALUE DIFFERENT THINGS, FAGGOT.
>>333754106
getting a redline is like getting a safari mesh karambit
it doesn't cost enough for anyone to give a shit
>>333754620
>>333754553
>buy 50 dollars worth of skins
>lose 5 bucks when you sell them back
>muh diminishing returns
Good thing i have disposable income and i don't have to worry about 5 dollars
I mean if it's a free to play game then I don't see the problem of getting a skin for your favorite character/gun.
>>333750462
>TF2

Umm...
>>333755069

I can, but I wouldn't. Enjoy your glasses. Spiderman's one of my favorites

See i can do this too faggot
>>333755252
>I can, but I wouldn't.
You're a moron.
>>333754876
none of those flimsy rationalizations makes your values immune from criticism. if you act like a retard, you can't get mad when someone calls you retarded.
>>333755493
What the fuck? Where is this cigarettes shit coming from, you dumb faggot?
I actually respect cancer-throats more than I respect fags who buy virtual cosmetic items, though.
>>333749524
>he is fueling the jew DLC meme
I used to buy clothing on PlayStation Home before it closed down
Does that count?
Oh yea I also bought one of those surf camp in Black Ops 2 because I thought the tag looked cool with my surfer pikachu avatar
>>333755280
>I spend money on anything that isn't bare necessities and mental/physical enrichment
what a cuck
>>333755721

You're just as bad as one of those Southern hicks that frequent Second Life and spend all their money on it.
>>333750462

That's not being jewish, just common sense
>>333755798
>make-believe video game items give me mental/physical enrichment
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I sold a courier in dota 2 for like 400$ or something in steambux
funded my buying of a lot of garbage I never played even years later
>>333755084
>buying something for the status of showing other people you can afford it
Why don't you just buy a Medusa then?
>>333755506
Do you not know "can" means? Maybe your school's not there yet. Sorry, I assumed I was talking to an adult.

>>333756165
Yeah, it does.
>>333755664
>i respect people with throat cancer even though they did it to themselves
>guy spends money on cosmetics
>shieeeeeeeet jesus died for this?
My point was that there's people spending money on shit that actually kills them
>>333754080
At this point I had enough entertainment to not give a shit anymore. If they went full Payday 2, then chances of getting their new games would go from 'be very careful' to 'fuck this' and that's all.
PVP is unbalanced, chaotic fun, but Tripwire is gonna spend even more time trying to balance it instead of working on promised classes.
>>333756028
same reason you don't buy one, except I'm not stupid enough to think buying a redline is impressing anyone lol
I am 100% no skins
used to have a couple of knives and shit when I was retarded but sold them on the market and bought games
>all these pathetic faggots trying to justify their shitty purchases
Holy shit, /v/. I knew you were pathetic, but goddamn...
>>333756548
continued...
if you can't afford really nice shit, better off having no skins at all.
redline? garbage.
blue steel knives? barely above safari, garbage.
case hardened ak? that shit better be 95 blue on top nigger.
>>333756548
I'm not saying having a redline is impressive you dumb shit, I'm saying it looks better.
If you're buying skins so you can show other people you can afford it rather than what looks better, then you're the real idiot here.
>>333756338
It doesn't mention vidya and seems to imply that buying vidya is also a waste
>>333756880
Why do you care what your awp looks like? I'm not sure how that is less retarded than someone flaunting a $700 knife.
It's like saying I'm retarded for having a 10k rolex to show off while you have a pink underwater watch that you think looks cool. We're both being retards, but you're just the less wealthy looking retard.
>>333757332
>Why do you care what your awp looks like?
Because I'd rather not look at the stock skin every time I use it. That's the entire point of skins.

Why do people think sex is so lol top tear above everything else?
If some slut asked me to fuck her right now when I was about to have once chance to make a personal computer of my choice, I'd take the fucking computer.
Sure I could have gotten laid and get made fun of.
Yet I'm enjoying my badass computer for years to come, unlike the one time I had come to some random slut.
