Spending money on games lets players exchange real cash for virtual currency or directly get in-game items, depending on how the developers set it up. These purchases can give players an edge or just be for show, without affecting gameplay strength. Still, for various personal reasons and goals, gamers often pour money into these passions, only to realize later they’ve gone way overboard and end up “crying out loud.”
Take recently, female streamer Ngân Sát Thủ announced she’s done topping up after spending hundreds of millions of Vietnamese dong on games. Especially lately, she’s dropped tens of millions just trying to get rare PUBG Mobile items.
Known as a streamer who enjoys survival shooter sessions with her team, Ngân Sát Thủ also loves collecting special, eye-catching PUBG Mobile skins and items. In just the past few months, she’s done countless spins worth tens of thousands of UC (in-game currency). The priciest haul includes armor valued at 30 million dong along with many other expensive items. Altogether, her PUBG Mobile spending has reached into the hundreds of millions.
So after spending way too much, Ngân Sát Thủ felt she’d gone too far with this hobby. After “crying a river,” she declared on her personal Facebook that this would be the last time she tops up to spin for items.
Next up is MisThy.
Rarely posting personal updates on Facebook, when MisThy does speak up, it’s about issues all gamers face. She recently vented, “I wish game companies would bring back the double bonus on first top-up, because lately I just don’t have money to spend on games hizz.” Looks like MisThy’s finances have been tight during the pandemic.
But before this, it’s worth noting that MisThy’s game spending isn’t small change. When her close friend Uyên Pu asked her directly about the amount, MisThy couldn’t even answer. Fans who regularly watch her streams say her spending could be 10 million, 100 million, or even enough to buy a house.
No matter the struggles or tears, fans believe these streamers’ game spending journeys are far from over.
