Last week, a friend of mine made an offhand comment about how much something dear to her cost, joking that it wouldn’t seem like a lot of money to a lot of folks but it did to her. Except… it did seem like a lot of money to me too! I don’t think most bloggers are exactly swimming in pools lined in gold (although if you are, invite me to your next pool party, would you). My hobbies are on a set “fun budget,” and that includes MMOs and other games. And even if my family’s income suddenly and spontaneously quadrupled, that wouldn’t change.
Do you game on a budget? Or do you buy all the games and in-game upgrades you want as soon as they are available? If you’re comfortable sharing, how much do you drop on MMOs in a given month, and is that significantly more or less than in the past?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
