ITT: People overly proud about the large amounts of money that they've spent on a video game.

[-PATCH-]

for now I spend $ 200 on MC, I think they should fix a bit the price-quantity relationship. Every time i spend money I feel a little violated: P, but as one of my favorite games is irresistible not to spend on MC. Sorry for my bad english

[PropagandaWar]

Last I checked it was a little over $350.00. Once we can do multiple paint schemes per mech it'll be more. In fact I was giving $15.00 a week, but the last month has had next to nothing to buy. However I will be buying buying at least a few the mech varients with MC if possible for the next two months. I do this because I believe in what the companies trying to accomplish and beings I haven't been buying Transformers lately, I'm gimped for several months and off the mats doing my fighting I have nothing better besides clay to spend a bit of cash on.

If you really want good honest answers to this, create an anonymous poll with ranges of money spent.

I spent 30 bucks, for my founder.

I have been tempted in the past to spend more. I am glad i didn t.

Since when they removed R&R this game took a swing in a direction it seems no more connected to what were the original promises when we were invited to be part of CB.

Sure, "It is BETA" and "It is a work in Progress" and everything will fianlly take place. I actually do agree with that.

However my money is not BETA Dollars, they work as a Retail Dollar Bill when i get in a store to buy something, therefore I will exchange my other Retail Dollars for Retail MWO when finally it will come out.

And I want to be "reasonable". when they will deliver what makes sense to be called GAME, talking about Maps, CW, Game modes... then i will be more than happy to open my wallet back to them.

Till then, ZIP

I'm up to a whopping total of $12!

Plus my $30 founders package.

[BlackSquirrel]

No wonder they dont change the pricing scheme look at how much people have blown. Here i thought through all this griping no one was buying much...

[Atlas3060]

Outside of my founder's package: $0

Just a heads up. I have only bought the Flame Hero mech as far as they are concened and stopped paying for repaints. However a chunck of my standard mechs were MC so I could use cbills for design. That slowed down considerably because I have my mains pretty much how I want them so now I usually sit on about 20 mil CBills for week before I end up trying various other builds. As of Feb 19th Im sure my cbills will be next to nada again.

Founders was $120USD. I then spent $99.95 when they had the sale. That's $219.95 spent to date.

That gave me 20,000 MC ($80 worth) for the Founders and 25,000 MC for the Sale for a total of 45,000 MC. At 250MC/$1, I have $180 worth of value, and currently I have 28,696 MC left, which means I spent 16,304 ($65.22) of that already ingame.

Nothing so far.

I'm finding the prices to be too high for what you get.

Will probably buy MC to get a Mad Cat once it's in.

[Dagger6T6]

I got the Legendary Founders pack $120 which gave me 20,000MC... and I have currently used about 10,000MC so I have about 10,000MC left...

perhaps I might have invested in some more MC had I not dropped about $525 on new pc uppgrades (new i5chip, motherboard, RAM) basically to play this game because the core duo experiance wasn't cutting it for me.

[Roughneck45]

$320. Ill buy more when another sale rolls around.

Call me faithful I guess. Or blind, whatever your take on the current stauts of the game is

Im happy with my purchase as well.

[Old Farkas]

66$ 4 mechbays and premium time only

It may be time to rethink MC pricing

It is never going to happen.

Ain't no shame in supporting something you're enjoying. Many people so far seem almost ashamed to admit they spent a lot. I think this game is on the right track, we just all wish it were longer along the lines of having been developed already.

[RussianWolf]

So far, just the $120 for my founders pack. They need to make some changes before I'll be spending more.

[De La Fresniere]

I got 10,000 MC with my 30 dollar package.

30 bucks is usually the most I pay for a video game (in fact I rarely go above 20), so I figured it'd be an acceptable amount to invest in MWO.

Sadly, all items turned out to be ridiculously overpriced, so I didn't get anywhere as much as I'd have liked out of my MC. And since I've already invested so much, I doubt I'll buy any more... especially considering it wouldn't give me much in return. I think blowing 20 dollars on a single mech is a ****-poor investment of my money; I could buy entire *games* for that amount.

EDIT: poll needs fixing, it lets you pick multiple options.

don't forget to value your four founders mechs.
