I was just wondering how much money on average a month have you guys spent on online games. Games which are downloaded on Google Play store.

Free games are great but just lately, about 3 months ago I have started getting addicted to one particular game whereby you need to spend money to purchase gems to gain power to progress through the ranks and stages. In other words, spending money to buy power to become more powerful by defeating enemies. It is not exactly a fancy game though. It's a fighter plane game where you shoot down your enemy planes. It's called Falcon Squad. I tried few similar games but still liked this one the best.

I spend about RM50 a month on average and so far I think I've spent close to RM200 on this game. I was just wondering, for people who spend money on games, how much do you spend per month on average.

5k for one year.

but i actually saved alot from playing this game because my friends all playing the same game and we stopped going out drinking/eating every weekend.

its ragnarok online mobile eternal love, stopped playing already because i was busy for my wedding and eventually i cant catch up with the game progess.

0.000 I bitty those who spend money on games playing watching or gambling, any type of game except reasonable price for self recreation which you spend to use tools and space yourself

Last one was almost RM400-600 on one game onli (total, not monthly). Mostly spent on cosmetic and hnngh costumes.
Nowadays i dont spend anymore on games.
Maplestory.. There was a time i think of spending RM100, but then Asiasoft continued to ruin the game (needlessly more expensive/less rewards compared to other rehions) and I'm just noped. Pity, it was my teen with fond memories playing with families and friends, exploring the in-game places while getting obsessed with the best build class
Now i nust get bored at most games after a few hours of playing lol.

I been spending money on gaming for close to 10 years.Tbh,I work a lot and I was single,so my hobby at that time was gaming and I spent on food and gaming.2018 I played PES mobile,and I think I got trapped into their gambling system and spent over 2k ringgit within six month for that game.Then last year,2019,I spent like close to 1000myr on asphalt 9 legend in 6 month,mobile gaming makes spending money easier then pc/console I think...

Mobile games, pubg mobile. almost 300 monthly for 1 year +. then stop. now i dont play much mobile games, or dont spend any.

0

Kinda funny spending on mobile games haha i don't even spend RL $$ on
Call of Duty (PC) battlepass.

Thanks for responses. Just spent another RM40 today on the game.

Right. I'll try not to spend anymore money on games after this. Hopefully.

Each month rm50~200,
Nowadays count little...
Last time few hundred....

hmm, mine as below

Princess Connect Redive- 40-80
Fate/Grand Order- RM100+-/year for the guarantee gacha

when i crazy on ROM time, i spend about RM400 a months..
to avoid further spending, i decide to sell my ROM account.
now i control myself spending around RM30 mainly on MLBB, to get free skin and character...

Dont worry la bro.. Ur Rm50 a month is beginner/entry level only in the world of mobile/online games spending n purchases. Me without fail every month spend easily Rm350 to Rm900 on in app purchases for the games i play.. Sometimes at the end of the month i look back on my bill n shake my head.. Then curse myself for being so stupid and having so little self control then sigh and repeat steps again. 🤣. And recently just lost my job due to covid.. So.. See how la.. See can reduce or not

Bro, sorry to hear about the lost job. Depending on the profession or nature of job, most people will have the risk of getting retrenched due to reduced work, customers, clients or projects depending on the nature of job. My company has laid off few people earlier last year, and a work associate from another company who I have been liaising with also got retrenched as the company is looking to cut overhead costs. He has been jobless for more than 1 month now and is still looking for a job. Stay brave bro, everyone needs to go through this shitstorm as we just keep staying alive

Back to this spending money on games, I usually use my unused credit of my Hotlink account to purchase the gems on a particular game on Google Play. Since I have my company phone, I don't need to purchase Internet data on the phone so the monthly top-up keeps accumulating and since I don't have any place to use the credit on my phone, I thought of spending it on games. At one point, my personal phone has more than RM300 credit and it keeps accumulating so I thought of unloading some credit/money to games since I don't need to spend on internet.

Too bad the Hotlink data does not have any Long Life plan on cashback where I can then transfer some on the unused credit or money on my phone to say ShopeePay account or to pay for my petrol in pump stations, for example, so that I can use the money to buy things on Shopee or pump petrol at petrol stations. So right now the only way to use the money is to spend it on games. Talking about it, I actually was hesitating for the past few days whether to spend RM100 on buying gems on the game which I was playing as I am running low on gems. Will see how it goes.

Will probably open another thread on the Telco section to see if there are other ways to spend unused credit/money on Hotlink other than to spend it on games.

Rm20 a month the most for a game. Used to spent way more RM50 upwards a month sometimes.

There was once I was crazy with some game (not just one) and spent few thousands in total. When I realised it was too late after I calculated all the total bills via google/Apple store history.

Don’t do it guys. If really want to game get a good desktop pc and some good games via steam or epic store and play all your heart out. Way more worth it.

I have kids now and looking back I could have saved those much needed money if I didn’t spend on online games that crazily.

Don't even dare to say it... this month MCO already spend 1k on lords mobile....

are you playing Rise of Kingdom? hahaha


Im playing Rise of Kingdom and spend around RM200-300[?] after playing for a year because i enjoy it and foresee i can play for quite long, so i think it is okay to invest some money

in fact, this is the longest mobile game i play hahaha

but sometimes i feel like i want to spend more in this game though im controlling myself



previously i had spent less than RM50 on Mobile Legend (desktop version)

wow some of you guys really spend a lot on the games.

i was spending the hotlink credit which i top up rm30 every month just to keep the spare line alive. which means max its rm30 per month i would spend on games.

it was the hhgggnnnn costumes in hi3 which made me start spending, so far spent rm300 plus total. otherwise i would have remained on ftp.

back in the days able to topup total rm300+ to a game call Super dancer online, and now max rm30-rm50. as you get older, you can't spend that much anymore

How come Mobile legend also need spend money kah? I tot like dota kill NPC, get gold n upgrade. No?

Spent rm3000 from my vss money for codm in 2 months... Dang games nowdays so expensive..

The stupid draw system, each draw double cod points

Up to 2k points for last each draw. Then rm 400 give u 10.8 k points only.. Theres many draw.

I just want good character skin, epic legend weapon and cute or nice emote but give me unwanted stuff.

Pandai tipu duit orng ni.. If sell each character skin, weapon skin broadcast kill or emote each for 30 i wud buy also la


Very clever cheat ppl money, everytime a draw come out with set of 10 or more item i just need 1 or 2 but need draw alot each draw almost 1k point few draw 10k or 400 gone dy. Every month come out 5 to 10 draw group. Every month Makan few k dy

I can afford myself only to purchase a game itself, I didn`t make any donation for all 15 years of gaming.

For the past two month back playing pesmobile,spent 900 ringgit inside January and February to get good player because got some extra money and stranded oversea.Will be back to work next week and will not have any time to play my games anymore.Mobile game is so convenient and easy to play,but I think it’s common nowadays to be p2p player as compare to many years ago

Usually around 20-40. Won't go over 50. I played gacha and lootbox based game but i know not to gun for anything in the gacha or lootbox with money else will get into the rabbit hole. The gacha and lotboxes entice gambling.

roughly rm60/month on genshin impact

previously was ROM but got disappointed on the developers effort to fix bugs so no more topup there...

60 ringgit is good enough to enjoy a game.Some people or kids can go full f2p cause they got no commitment and have time to grind and grind the game,or some are full time gamer.I need to cut down next two month because my initial plan is 250 ringgit a month.Clearly got addicted and overspent

more than 5k across 3years+

but in pc game

Probably total to thousands for Epic Seven and most recently rm400 for Ragnarok next generation.

decades back around rm500+ for sdo, sum up with other mobile/pc game until now estimate around total of 1k+?

I played since launch day never missed any battle pass, played lucky draw here and there and still no mythic weapon lol. total spend i think only 1k+ though

Used to play a lot of those prc blatant p2w mmo lol, really addicting but after some weeks already bored and question why tf i play this game

Now missed alot draw since no money, i use up few k for draw instead buy new phone... Target Samsung m51 but missed it no more sell, m62 also

Can aim poco f3 gt

started playing online games back in 2009 (MYKO/USKO) and many other online games after that... present day actively playing ROM.. total maybe close to MYR10k ?

not too bad since its in the span of 12 years... give or take...

Pokemon GO RM6 per month i think, just to buy remote raid pass once in a while

Eh how come u guys spend money on games? I earn money instead 🤯

So far earn 1.3k from 2 games

When you have time, u can spent on games and earn some money.
When you have no time but still want to enjoy game u spend some money.

spend thousands before, now below hundred per month

i am F2p currently on Ragnarok Next Generation. But i wanna say something about those sultans/whales inside.
The game is heavily RNG plus the rate is low and top up price is high. You will be shocked to see how much Southeast asians spend on this game. The top players and if you wanna dominate will have 6-digit worth accounts. Mostly are Thai and Indon whales. I watch their streams and they mention just "fully enchanting" one weapon alone will cost one Camry. And cause the fail rate is so high, some have spent one house worth just to max out the character. Not to mention the game only charges in USD.

Cannot imagine how much the gaming company earn…Last year till now,soley on mobile game Microtransaction I have spent 4K plus.Almost all of it is spent on pesmobile,and I have all the player in the game

35k

Which game,and inside how many years?

inconvenient to disclose game name, but 35k was last year alone.

Hmm, for me probably rm 0 ~ 4.99 only, but that's only when the goods are acceptable for the price. But I mostly the F2P type of player. I like to grind for stuff and trade in game than being P2W.
Although recently i spent nearly rm 20 on MoBA but thats only because my Maxis account got lots of surplus credit that I didn't used 🙃 I only top-up that account to keep the line going. But yea, that's the only amount I'm willing to part for game. If i could.get it for free, u better trust me I'll be there for sure 😂😂

so far i managed to get them all under usd50 for various game

i like brutal age the most
