>North American players spend an average of $325 on gaming annually, accounting for 28% of global market spending, a new report has found.
>The report also found that there's diversity in player spending patterns between regions. In North America, 27% of players invest in content packs, power-ups, and in-game currencies, 24% buy subscriptions, and 23% purchase battle passes.
>European gamers, on the other hand, spend the most on in-game currencies and content packs (21% each), 20% on subscriptions, and 18% on gear and time-saving features.

Why are europeans so broke and why do they keep spending on microtransactions?

I dunno lol, but this is about decrease in both regions real fast.

>Why are europeans so broke

They aren't, and they should be getting esports money considering all the best teams are European. I think their spend is low because the games they play don't even cost money.

I spent like 300 dollars on gacha last week

so yanks are to blame for the hobby going to shit, cool

I have over 600 dollars in anime figure preorders for this year
and that's not counting shipping and tariffs
and I'm put of space to display them but order more anyway and just hope I'll figure it out when they get here

Sounds like you're in the wrong country.

Damn sure I spend more than that on games but I don't particularly mind since it's my biggest entertainment expense by far and none of it is on microtransactions or subscriptions. Yes, Valve could theoretically close their doors and walk off with my library, but if that day ever comes I'll just stop buying games entirely. Until that point I'm buying that shitty fucking turn based RPG because I want more of them and if I'm the one paying then everyone's gotta play shitty turn based RPGs since it's what I want

Do you even ejaculate on your anime statues?

If you don't, then you're not living your life correctly!

>>717954923

>>717954558
it's uhhhhhhhh
4+2+1+ a mousepad
and there's one I wanted also that isn't even painted yet...
and another one that looks really cool and I want but I kind of just don't care enough about the series or the character to be driven to get it

asia is ruining gaming because their gacha paypigs outweigh everything else.

>>717954353
I'm running out of space now, I need to buy more cabinets
