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.

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.

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.
