Popular Post gazdavis11 Posted January 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2020 Following last years edition of ‘How much spent in 2019’ here comes the latest edition. It’s always interesting seeing how much you spend each month and cumulatively over a year on gaming. It may affect your purchases, help you prioritise buying choices or simply review purchases out of interest. the idea is to keep track each time you make a purchase. Copy and paste and put into a new post each time. The information you will want to include will be: Purchase Date Game Title Platform cost mat the bottom you will want to keep a running total. Feel free to credit yourselves with games sold against your total. Example layout. January 2020 01/01/20 Death Stranding (PS4) £39.99 Total - £39.99 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On games I'm not even sure I wanted. Least it was only £2.79 this time around... Another week later, I bought a game again. But in my defence, Vita games almost never go on sale, so I just had to do it! I definitely have a problem... Well, crap, I'm now over £200. What is wrong with me!? And I just broke £100 on digital games. Why do I do this? I'm now almost £350. I think I need help...

theSpirae Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I believe a little intro is necessary, and who knows, maybe others may be in a similar situation so they can see how I decided to "solve" it. At the end of 2016, I promised myself I would drastically cut down how much I spend on games. The main reason wasn't to save money, it's a nice bonus though, not going to lie, but to be more responsible with what I buy. It reached a ridiculous point where I was buying games just because they were on sale, deep down knowing I will very likely never get to play them. I owned around 1 000 games across various platforms. I had so many games I will never have enough time to play them all. It was time to put an end to it. I needed a fresh start. I decided to sell all my old consoles (dating from Atari, Commodore, etc.) and whatever physical copies of games I had. Mid 2017 I bought PS4 making it my only gaming platform (occasionally, I still play on PC but it's rare these days). At this point, my PS4 library is around 150 games and pretty much half of it are games from Plus. It is too many already so in 2018 I stopped buying games unless I was going to play it within a month. Here's the breakdown: 2018 - $90 2019 - $45 (plus I got EA Access 12 months for $30 - that's a steal!) 2020 03-01-2020 - Batman: Arkham Knight - Season Pass (PS4) - $6 Edited January 10, 2020 by theSpirae 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khain24 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 This is both a great and terrible idea at the same time lol. January -FF7R - Digital Deluxe Preorder - $79.99 -Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition - $12.99 Total = $93 (rounded), not ic While still working on backlog, I'm missing a Baldurs gate style RPG and saw PoE was on sale and always wanted to try it. FF7R was always going to be pre-ordered, I just waited until the new year. Lot of coin spent in January so far but not overly worried as I dont see myself purchasing too many new games on day 1 this year (this means savings!) and I already know I'm skipping out on my usual purchase of MLB the Show (generally drop about $80 for the deluxe and maybe an additional $20 for stubs to get started) so kinda breaking even at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonAutomates Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Interesting.... I'll bite. January 2020 Ace Combat 7: $29.99 Kingdom Hearts 3: $14.99 Outer Worlds: $39.99 Yakuza 0: $9.99 Tropico 5: $7.49 Total: $102.45 But I was gifted $45 dollars worth of PSN funds. So in reality my total was $57.45. Outside of CyberPunk I most likely won't buy another game this year due to my backlog that has another 8 games in addition to these on it, and just general life. So if I buy that new (although I'll most likely get a discount) that will be less than 100 bucks on gaming in a year. Not bad for the wallet.
