Today, the gaming industry has grown. Almost everyone is a gamer now. Additionally, spending money on them isn’t something foreign. In fact, spending on in-game items can give a player so much satisfaction. There are so many perks that come with spending. Such as more rewards, more skins, more wins, and the list goes on. Some players in the gaming community have no problems spending to get more perks, however, some are still considering whether it’s worth it or not.
Most games mask themselves with ‘free to install’, ‘free to play, or ‘free to download’. But, in order to get a full gaming experience, players need to spend a little. There are a few requirements that are needed to purchase in-game items; such as open online banking account Malaysia, email, connection to your debit card, and security verifications. It’s a hassle, but it’s worth all the effort in the end.
So, why do people spend real money on items that they’d only get digitally? Are they worth it? You’re probably considering spending right now, so let’s get into it.
Reason to Buy
Before you purchase an in-game item, you should ask yourself the reason behind the purchase. Do you need the item? Do you like it or is it because it’s affordable for you? Can you wait to buy the item to see if you really want it? If the answer is negative to most of these questions, then the item isn’t worth it. Purchasing the item might give you buyer’s remorse.
Purpose to Buy
Ask yourself whether you’d be using the items regularly. If you’ve bought something, have no intentions of using it, and keep it in your arsenal through your entire playthrough then it wouldn’t be worth it. Additionally, see if there is a cheaper alternative to your purchase. Such as a season where there are discounts on certain items, giveaway seasons, events where they give items for free, and so on. If there is a high chance that your item would be included in events, discounts, and seasonal giveaways, then it doesn’t hurt to wait for a bit.
Quality of the Item
Is the item you’re aiming to purchase of high quality? Would the in-game item stand through time? Would it still be relevant in the future? It’s worth the purchase if the item is timeless and would still be desirable in the future. You could flex your new skin or weapon to anyone. In addition, take a look at your arsenal and see if you already own anything similar. If you do, then is it enough? Unless what you already have isn’t enough or inefficient, then it’s worth purchasing. If not, then it’s wasteful.
