I added up all the money I have spent on MWO (All top tier packs and MC) and then devided that by the number of days I have had an active account. It costs me 85 cents per day to play this game. WORTH IT! I plan to make it at least a $1.50/day. Gimme stuff to buy!


I chose not to feed the starving children in Samalia.

Got me thinking....

I bought my Founders pack on Oct. 29, 2012. Since then I have spent $1,320.00 between mech packs and MC injections (haven't bought Wave III yet).

So, it's been 905 days with a total of $1320. That's an average of.... $1.46/day.

Worth it indeed good sir!

For less then a dollar a day you too can be a mechwarrior with all the new shiny and complain when they get nerfed into oblivion!

It really does put it into perspective for you....it really is quite worth it to me as well even at $2.00 a day I'd still be here.

I guess the question that needs to be asked is: Do you guys play every single day? Or is actually the price several times higher if you only count the days that you do play?

[DjPush]

I play for an hour or two EVERY day before bed.

I rather was my clothes for $1 per week.

Did i sound cynical?

I got into Closed Beta before the Oct 29 launch of the Founders program, and haven't spent quite as much as you. In my case it's almost all packs - I've only spent $100 on MC (2 x $50) other than the various packs that I've purchased.

I'm looking at $0.875 per day.

Not every day and not for about a month now as I am dealing with real life things. But, considering what I spent on other MMOs, even with the "activity inflation" is worth it.

Do you watch TV and talk on your phone every day? Do you use every service you pay for every single day? If not, then this is a comparable situation.

My average is $1.85/day.

Cheers.

You people are f*cking insane. $1000+ for a video game that's NOT a dedicated arcade cabinet or collectible!? Good Lord. If MWO shut down next month, you will have NOTHING but screenshots to be nostalgic about.

That said, thanks for paying for this game to be playable by the rest of us. I've spent ~$200 on this game and that seems absurd to me. However, I bet my income is 1/4 what yours is, so it's all relative I suppose.

I play at LEAST 5 days a week and a few matches to a few hours each session.

If i have have Premium time active i will make a point to play each day for the 30 days its active.

You're welcome.

And yes, it's all relative.

I guess that's exactly like

• Movie Theaters
  
• Cable TV
  
• Netflix
  
• Playstion PLUS
  
• Xbox LIVE
  
• Any sports event
  
• Mini golf
  
• Go carts
  
• Going to a bar
  
• MMO subscriptions
  
• basically, nearly everything

You buy the experience and not the product.

Personally, I like being treated like a VIP when I choose to spend my money and PGI does a fairly decent job of that with exclusive windows of availability and customization.

Anyone else remember $3-6/HOUR for EGA & Solaris? MWO is a steal!

Conversely... There are people who purchase $3.00 cups of coffee every flipping day of their lives and don't bat an eye. Yet there is no long-term intrinsic value of that cup of coffee either.

I stopped drinking coffee for MW:O... since I average around $1.50 a day... I'm actually saving money now!

Only $3?? I know people who spend $7 + a pack of smokes every day..... I can't smoke or drink coffee so I play video games.

It's the principle of the matter to me.

This game...any game is simply not worth that much.

Then that is your prerogative, but for the rest of us, we have no problem spending large sums of money over an equally large amount of time. I mean, I have spent money on 3 packs so far (Resistance, wave I and II.) and bought a couple hundred dollars of MC. That's about 1000 dollars as soon as I finish my wave III pack. And I have spent around 400 in CS:GO on cases (God I have an addiction to those.) and I won't even bat an eye as a college student with a part time job, because the value OVER time is worth much more to me than the instantaneous value then.
